Not Showing on my dashboard

[FkLalita]

i can't see my time on the dashboard but i can see my time on vscode on it, i check the logs but i can't seem to find any error related to vim, but i can see numbers on my vim_shared_state which changes if i code, i assumed that is my code time, but it is not showing on my dashboard, if i try WakaTimeToday or the other cmd i get wakatime-cli is not recognised as an internal or external command.

Your dashboard is missing vim stats, but has vscode stats?

if i try WakaTimeToday or the other cmd i get wakatime-cli is not recognised as an internal or external command.

Sounds like vim-wakatime plugin can't find ~/.wakatime/wakatime-cli. Can you make sure it's in that location?

[alanhamlett]

Ok, please enable debug mode with :WakaTimeDebugEnable then share the error message printed at the bottom of your Vim after editing a file inside Vim.

And if you relaunch vim?

[FkLalita]

I relaunch vim but it is not working

[alanhamlett]

With debug enabled you should see some logs printed when Vim first starts. When it's working it should print:

[WakaTime Install] Current wakatime-cli version is v1.85.2
[WakaTime Install] Checking for updates to wakatime-cli...
[WakaTime Install] GitHub API Response 304
[WakaTime Install] wakatime-cli is up to date.
Press ENTER or type command to continue

But there might be an error message telling us why it's not able to execute C:/Users/DSRC/.wakatime/wakatime-cli.exe on your machine.

So I find the error though, I think vim is looking for wakatime-cli.exe but I have wakatime-windows-386-cli.exe, so I renamed to wakatime-cli.exe and I no longer see the error but vscode keep showing wakatime error, so I copy the wakatime-cli.exe and rename it to the default one, so both are working fine I guess, I can now see vim on my dashboard.............. though it is showing unknown project for vim I guess it has to do with my file path.....but I can now see vim on my dashboard 😌

[FkLalita]

i keep getting unknown project on my dashboard anytime i use vim though

Are you using a Git repo for your project?

https://wakatime.com/faq#projects

[FkLalita]

No

[alanhamlett]

Without a Git repo the plugin has no way to detect a project. Please set a project using one of the supported methods.

[FkLalita]

so i will have to have a github repo for the project before the plugin detect it what if i don't want to publish the project on github

[alanhamlett]

There's other ways besides Git. Please read the FAQ link.
