aw-qt not starting on Windows 10 (seems like #161) #444

Closed heliocarbex closed 4 years ago

heliocarbex commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug

When trying to start aw-qt.exe the following message appears: "Failed to execute script main" and the application crashes.

This appears to be a duplicate bug, but to another OS. So, I can't apply the same solution. I think that the same proble happend here at Linux: #161

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to ".\activitywatch folder"
  2. Click "aw-qt.exe"
  3. See error "Failed to execute script main"

Expected behavior

Activity Watch should start and I should see in the browser all the graphs at http://localhost:5600.

Do you run ActivityWatch using the zip or using the installer?

Can you run aw-qt.exe from the command line and report the output?

heliocarbex commented 4 years ago

Using the zip. I tried to run using CLI, but the exe is not producing any output.

heliocarbex commented 4 years ago

Do you recommend to use the installer version?

ErikBjare commented 4 years ago

Using the zip. I tried to run using CLI, but the exe is not producing any output.

Try running aw-server.exe from the command line, that should hopefully give you some output.

Do you recommend to use the installer version?

It really shouldn't make a difference, since the installer uses the same files as those in the zip. But please try the installer version anyway, maybe you've extracted the files over an older version or something.

Dear ErikBjare,

There is no aw-server.exe in my activity watch folder. Here I'm showing the search results for .exe files:

In the zip there is a aw-server folder which contains aw-server.exe (same thing goes for the watchers, they all have their own folder except for aw-qt).

For me, there is no .exe inside aw-server folder, XD image

johan-bjareholt commented 4 years ago

@heliocarbex It is there in the original zip file so then you have either done something wrong when unpacking it or your anti-virus has removed it automatically or something like that.

heliocarbex commented 4 years ago

Right, I will check it out.

ErikBjare commented 4 years ago

I'm assuming the aw-server.exe has been deleted by an AV system or something, so closing the issue.
