Model is only valid from Tue Dec 20 2019 to Tue Dec 10 2024

[diego-betto]

Hi,

today our app crashed with the message
"Model is only valid from Tue Dec 20 2019 to Tue Dec 10 2024"

How can we update the model or disable this error?

Thank you!

[diego-betto]

Also please: warn that there is a time limit :)

my org would also love to see this model updated, and going forward, politely request that errors are logged rather than crashing with the expired model error 🙏

to anyone else needing a stopgap, I found am successfully using the fork https://github.com/cristianob/geomagnetism as a replacement

[diego-betto]

As a workaround, we have cloned the module and changed the expiry date.
https://github.com/naturalatlas/geomagnetism/blob/master/data/wmm-2020.json#L379

Let's see if the maintainer responds :)

This is a bug in implementation rather than outdated spec.

Please note: The World Magnetic Model 2025 will be released on December 17, 2024.
The model is produced at 5-year intervals, with the current model expiring on December 31, 2024.

Hopefully the updated spec is integrated soon after it is released, as well.

Nice catch! Thanks @facetious
Hopefully waiting :)

Wonderful little y2k-style surprise here :)

If you can wait for the full fix...

  const magneticFieldInfo = geomagnetism
    .model(new Date(2024, 11, 9))
    .point([vehicleWaypoint.latitudeDeg, vehicleWaypoint.longitudeDeg]);

NOAA will release the next World Magnetic Model on December 17th.

Until this date, we need to use the outdated model. My fork will only log a error instead of crashing as a temporary replacement.
https://github.com/cristianob/geomagnetism

Just do a
$ npm install @cristianob/geomagnetism --save

And change the imports to
import Geomagnetism from '@cristianob/geomagnetism'

On December 17th, I will release a new version on my fork and submit a PR here. I am hoping the author will update this library.

If the author don't update, I will mantain the library updated on my fork.
PS: My fork has a typescript typing that I will send a PR here too.
