[plugin] Your Atom plugin is malfunctioning

[aminya]

I received such an email today.

Hey there,

We noticed some unusual coding activity from your Atom WakaTime plugin Yesterday: You have many duplicate heartbeat events.

This is usually caused by another Atom extension tricking WakaTime into thinking you’re moving the cursor, or editing files. If you would like to help fix this, please add the list of Atom extensions you have installed to an existing GitHub issue or just reply to this email.

What do I need to do?

Here is the list of my packages:

[alanhamlett]

My guess is it's the autosave@0.24.6 extension. Can you try disabling that one and see if the email goes away after a day?

[alanhamlett]

Looks like https://github.com/atom/autosave/issues/25

[aminya]

I disabled it. Are you looking for a package that uses onDidChangeText? I don't actually understand the problem here.

[alanhamlett]

Yea, we send an API request every time a file is saved. If atom/autosave#25 saves the file every keystroke... that would trigger your warning email from a flood of data for the same file around the same time.

[aminya]

I have been using Wakatime for a long time, so this might be a bug in the last release of Wakatime or Atom's latest nightly.

I tend to "save a lot" because I don't actually use autosave (I usually save after each change I make). Is there a way I can instruct Wakatime to denounce my file savings?

[gandarez]

@alanhamlett any other update here?

[gandarez]

Was that solved @aminya?

[aminya]

I am not using the plugin any more.
