ChillarAnand commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug

When system is booted, all modules are selected and time is tracked properly.

Modules are getting "unselected" after a while and time is not tracked properly.

That's due to the watcher crashing. It should be fixed and more stable in v0.12.3b15.

When a watcher crashes, there should be a popup notifying that it did, offering the option to restart it. But sometimes those popups get hidden under other windows on macOS (or seemingly don't show up at all).

@ErikBjare Thanks for the quick reply.

How can I install v0.12.3b15 on Mac?

ChillarAnand commented 5 months ago

I found a dmg file under Release section. I have installed https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases/tag/v0.12.3b16

ErikBjare commented 5 months ago

As mentioned in the release notes, v0.12.3b16 is unstable (as you may notice). Use v0.12.3b15 instead.

ChillarAnand commented 5 months ago

Unfortunately, I am observing the same issue on v0.12.3b15 as well.

You may have running background processes that have survived, preventing a second instance from starting. (This should also show a popup, I'm surprised you don't seem to get one?)

Check ps -aux | grep aw- in the terminal. Quit ActivityWatch and kill all processes, then start it again.

No popups at all.

I have restarted the system. Will monitor for some time and let you know.

Thanks @ErikBjare for the help!

The frequecny of crashing has reduced but it is still happening. No pop-ups yet.

This seems to happen when I lock the screen, keep the Mac idle for ~10 hours, and unlock it again.

Unfortunately, aw-notify is not working on Mac. I wrote a python script and setup a cron job for notification.

Same question, aw-notify cannot work. Don't know what "run it from a signed bundle" means.
