Wakatime not working: Failed to download wakatime-cli

[Harrylever]

Hi, I'm using vscode-wakatime plugin and I always get stuck at Initializing wakatime or Wakatime Initialized, but wakatime never works. I open up Developer tools on vscode and I get error

I have followed all the steps on the troubleshooting page, but have found no solution. Please help

Do you have a proxy set in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file?

Do you have a proxy set in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file? @alanhamlett

No. I don't

Here is my cfg file

[settings] api_key = xxx debug = true

[alanhamlett]

Can you manually download that file? https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-cli/releases/latest/download/wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.zip

If it works, unzip it to %USERPROFILE%/.wakatime/ then rename %USERPROFILE%/.wakatime/wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.exe to %USERPROFILE%/.wakatime/wakatime-cli.exe.

Hi @alanhamlett . Thanks for the reply. It suddenly started working yesterday. Working perfectly. And I didn't change anything.
