Problem: Your service is not available in Iran! #185

Closed BaseMax closed 3 years ago

Hi folks,

I'm Max, a software engineer, I have a technical team and one of my staff are from Iran. He tried more then 2 weeks and finally not success to config the wakatime plugin on the vscode.

This is while this plugin installs well in Sublime Text and works.

Finlay, I call him and remote to his desktop and check everything. I find why the wakatime not works in vscode editor.

Currently, The vscode plugin need to download wakatime-cli file from AWS server.

Remember AWS company blocked Iran and your plugin cannot works for Iranian.

I suggest you to upload wakatime-cli file to GitHub server and use that direct link, Or anywhere else.

A few screenshots to confirm the description I wrote above:

My favorite editor is not vscode and I not use it. But I personally investigated this problem.

P.S: I did solve this problem by download the wakatime-cli zip file, and extract it manually in the directory.

Best wishes for your team;

Regards, Max

Yep, we're aware and working to fix this by hosting wakatime-cli on GitHub Releases instead of AWS.

Try adding these lines to your ~/.wakatime.cfg file:

standalone = false
alpha = true

Then restart VS Code. Does that fix it?
