WakaTime: Unknow Error(2)

[nicholasinatel]

Hello, sorry for the issue, but i have researched all the closed and open issues and did not figured it out. I am using Visual Studio Code version: in Windows 10. With WakaTime version: 1.2.4 I have been using it for a month and it was fine, i have purchased the paid version and now i have waka time error not logging my work. The visual studio asks me for seeing the .wakatime.log file for more information but it is empty. I tried to debug but nothing happens. What is going on please?

[alanhamlett]

After turning on debug mode are there error messages printed to your Developer Console inside VS Code?

This sounds like the plugin isn't able to execute wakatime-cli any longer, most likely due to a problem with Python.

You are right, the problem is this pythonw: can't open file '"path\wakatime\cli.py" [Errno 2] Invalid argument Managed to see the log now. It seems to be the same problem as 51. However the solution proposed of no_ssl_verify = true did not work either. I will dig in deeper in this problem and post the answer here. Here are my logs:

Tried to change the python version from 3.7 to 3.6.4, still same error.

[nicholasinatel]

This did not work for me, trying again tomorrow:

I finally got it working again. Looks like the extension is unable to download the wakatime-cli/core correctly and somehow the previously existing one was removed I downloaded it directly from the github and extracted it into .vscode\extensions\WakaTime.vscode-wakatime-1.2.1\out Additionally I updated the plugin by using "Extensions: Check for Updates" because the status page told me there was a newer version available(vscode didn't show this) this changed the extensions version from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1

If this is still a problem let's keep it open until it's fixed?

[nicholasinatel]

Sorry this is still a problem, i have closed it by accident, i am busy this end of the year, i will be coming back to resolving this issue in the near future, your extension is very good, it is very sad to be without my coding log charts. Congratulations for your extensions.

@alanhamlett you helped me solve similar issue earlier this month over the email. My wakatime stays at initializing and it found to be an issue with Python version. You have done some magic and released a new version and I installed it which resolved the issue.

But lately, the issue popped up again with the same reason after I updated my mac OS to 10.14.4.

So, would this require another new version or it is something to do on my side?

I was having this error until I rolled it back to 2.0.8 then reinstalled 2.0.9

[alanhamlett]

@amruta-pani that's a normal debug message when the plugin looks for the location of Python on your machine. It should go away if you turn off debug mode. You should also leave debug mode off normally since it can slow down the plugin sometimes.

Install other version
