The input box for entering the API key does not pop up.

Just installed the plugin on WebStorm 2022.3.1, and the input box for entering the API key does not pop up. So I can't start my session.

Wouldn't you consider moving the place where you fill in the API key directly into the preferences?

Same here with rider 2022.3

The api key menu is located at Tools → WakaTime Settings.

When you open the menu from there, does it already have an api key or is it empty?

No. I cannot find this menu.

That's the IDE's Preferences menu, the menu you need is in the menu bar at the top of the main IDE window:

Thanks. I found it!

Was there already an api key set? That's normally why it doesn't prompt to enter one when installing it, since all the plugins share the same config file if you've installed another WakaTime plugin previously, it won't prompt.

Yes, there is already an API key set. Thanks for your help.

It seems that the API key changed a few months ago, and I received an email reminder that it had not been used for a long time, so I thought I would look for a place to update the key.

Glad it's working now 👍
