The URL link fetching wakatime-cli in getUrlAsString(https://api.github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest) will redirect to https://api.github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest, which gives a 404 in browser:

Hence, the wakatime-cli is not downloaded to $WAKATIME_HOME\.wakatime

Are you in China? It seems to be a temporary problem. I can open https://api.github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest.

[boxsnake]

@gandarez Yes, I am in china.

I can not access https://github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest but https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest is available, which redirects to the release page.

[gandarez]

@alanhamlett any thoughts here? We should redirect China users to a different url maybe?

[boxsnake]

https://api.github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest redirects to https://github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest, as following:

However, https://api.github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest redirects to https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/tag/v1.85.2, as following:

I think this should be fetched as a JSON, right? None of these is the correct routine, this is so weird.

[boxsnake]

@gandarez Can you offer a snapshot with how you can access https://api.github.com/repos/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest?

Thanks.

[boxsnake]

Due to GitHub API Doc, the GH Authorization bearer token is present. I am not sure if this affects.

[boxsnake]

A workaround:

• Manually download wakatime-cli from this repo's release
• Move it to $WAKATIME_HOME/.wakatime
• Rename it to wakatime-cli (wakatime-cli.exe in Windows) or symlink to it as wakatime-cli

Then everything will "seems" done. The only thing should be notice is that you may spend time to try updating and this updating process will finally fail.

[boxsnake]

Okay, I see.

It seems something wrong with my DNS resolving. It simply convert api.github.com to github.com.

Hmmm...
