Is there a way to trace the plug or easily access the wakatime.db?
I guess if the date stamp of the .db file is later than last work there is probably nothing to sync?

I'm using VS2013 Premium, WakaTIme plugin version 5.0.4.
Besides ticket #26, this exception is still popping up and killing Visual Studio. I'm working on WPF application, and when I'm in the designer and I'll try to use scrollbars to move around the designer's view, 💥 , Visual Studio dies. If I take a look into event log, I see this:

Not found wakatime in Visual Studio 2012(simplified Chinese) Extensions and Updates

I'm not positive this is an issue but my understanding is that I'm meant to install python once in the root directory of windows and then Wakatime should just work without any extra setup but as it stands it keeps requiring me to have python installed in the same place. Did I mess something up with the install?

there any way to install it in Visual Studio 2010?

I just did a clean install of VS 2015 and installed Wakatime 6.0.0 on Windows 10. After clicking "Yes" on the prompt to install Python, nothing appeared to happen for about 10 seconds. Then a window flashed briefly on the screen, followed by a Windows Installer error "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

I'm having two issues, which may or may not be related.

1. I have a code project that builds a DLL and then launches an outside exe to run and load the DLL. For this solution in particular (does not happen in all my solutions) whenever i try to localy debug my code, as soon as the external exe starts to run (has not loaded my DLL yet) visual studio freezes and will not respond, even if i close the launched program. As soon as I disable wakatime, it no longer freezes.

2)Occasionally, if i have multiple solutions open, one of them will freeze in the same manner suggested above; the program will not respond to any command and must be force closed and restarted.

i now have not very fast (i'm even not saying slow) internet connection and my visual studio starts like minute or so.
and when it starts in exposes no life signs, so i sometime doubt i'd ran it and run it once again for that reason. as a result have two VSs opened.

i've found that it is because it doing something in codeload.github.com. updating, likely. and i figured out, that it is this extension, that doing this.

i suppose, even on good internet connection it adds several seconds to start up time, which is no good at all.
what' more strange, it downloads something every time. i doubt that the new version comes out every few minutes..

i'm forced to switch this off, unfortunately.

if you are not planning to fix it, at least add info to description somewhere in order to not confuse users.

This happens every time my colleague launches Visual Studio after installing the Wakatime extension.

Appears to be doing an unattended install of Python 3.4.3, which is already installed. As pip already exists in the path (from Python 2), the MSI installer fails and rolls back. The plugin works, but it's annoying this happens every time he starts VS

When I switch branch (using git) on project opened in Visual Studio 2013, Wakatime makes Visual Studio hang by spawing ~20-30 python (wakatime-cli) instances.

Reproduction steps:

• Open versioned project in VS2013
• Open a few files which will differ in the new branch
• Switch branch
• In visual studio hit "Reload all"
• Open process manager and see all the python instances

there is no api key put in when i restart Visual Studio,and its always Initializing.how can i deal it

I tried to install the extension for VS Express 2013 from here: https://github.com/wakatime/visualstudio-wakatime/releases/tag/8.0.6
It didn't work because of the dependency on Visual Studio MPF 11.0. This is the extension.vsixmanifest I found insized the WakaTime-express-v8.0.6.vsix archive:

I removed this line and it was installed (is the dependency not really needed?):

<Dependency Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.MPF.11.0" DisplayName="Visual Studio MPF 11.0" Version="[11.0]" />

Nevertheless, when I launched VS Express 2013 it displayed an error message saying that the newly installed package cannot work properly. I checked ActivityLog.xml and I found this (52D9C3FF-C893-408E-95E4-D7484EC7FA47 is the extension's GUID as you can see above):

I couldn't find any reference to the CompanyName field online, but I guess it has something to do with the manifest of the package.

Thank you.

Editing a file in Visual Studio with unicode chars in the path causes that coding activity to be lost. The plugin is probably not correctly encoding file paths when executing wakatime cli and the incorrect file path does not exist on disc, so is ignored.

Support for unicode file paths was added to wakatime-cli with wakatime/wakatime#32, so it should work if we encode the file correctly as utf8 when executing wakatime-cli:

Getting this message in output, and nothing else ever happens. Wakatime Settings won't open.

I am unable to get WakaTime extension for VS 2017 to log or report time. I have also installed the extension for VS Code and that is working correctly.

The extension has installed correctly (or so it appears).
The output window for WakaTime does not indicate that there is anything wrong.
The API key has been added and it shown in the wakatime.cfg file
In the wakatime.log file there are entries for VS Code but not for Visual Studio.
ActivityLog.xml also does not indicate anything is wrong.

Any other suggestions on what i should be looking at to fix?

Thanks,

There is already Visual Studio and VS Code in your website but, Visual Studio has a different (or new idk) IDE for Mac users. So please add it to your list or at least up to public vote.

I have wake time installed as a plugin to my Visual studio 2012. I see that it logs my activity only when I am connected to internet from home. It does not logs anything when I connected via office internet.

Hi I have problems installing the plugin in VS2010 .
I installed the plugin following the instructions where VS restarts it reports an error
I started VS2010 with the /log option and checked the activitylog.xml file
I noticed that the plugin can't start because it's looking for Microsoft.VisualStudio.Shell.11.0 which apparently is missing.

Any help would be aprriciated

I keep getting below error irrespective of my proxy settings in $HOME/.wakatime.cfg file, other editors (emacs and atom) work fine without any proxy settings except visual studio. $HOME/.wakatime.log doesn't contain any logs related to visual studio related. Error details are below

Please add support for proxy. Proxy with username and password. Currently this extension throws exception at start if proxy is required.

Maybe some modal dialog, would be great.

I installed the plugin a time ago and VS2012 noticed me for a new update of the Wakatime plugin. I installed it and I had to disable it because with the latest update VS crashes.

Environment:

• VM running on Mac
• VM specs:
  • Win server 2008 R2 SP1
  • 8GB
  • 2 cores (from i7)
  • VS2012 Pro Update 4

Exact error:

[Wakatime HandledException 04:00:21 dop.] GetPathFromMicrosoftRegister:: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at WakaTime.PythonManager.GetPathFromMicrosoftRegister()

There are two instances of the Wakatime extension in the Visual Studio Extensions and Updates window as the screenshot below displays, why is that? and which one should I install?

I just installed the Extension on the Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 but it doesn't ask for the API Key on the startup

When I use WakaTime plugin with Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise inside a Parallels 11 VM it will freeze Visual Studio. I haven't quite determined the exact steps to reproduce this. It consistently happens after the computer goes to sleep. It will also happen if I don't focus on the Visual Studio window for a while. I thought that maybe it was my VM. So I installed visual studio from scratch and worked with it and had no problems. As soon as I installed the WakaTime plugin through the extensions manager the problem occurred again.

Hi

I am facing an issue with the wakatime VS2017 extension the following error occurs upon starting the IDE and no time is logged.

Let me know if you need any more information

I was diagnosing some issues on my project in Process Explorer, when I noticed a good number of "pythonw.exe" processes running. The command lines are pretty much all the same, except for the "file" argument. Even after closing the files from within Visual Studio, the processes remained. I then quit Visual Studio (single instance this time), and the processes remain.

I've attached 2 screenshots of Process Explorer, showing the process tree. It can be seen when VS is running, that there are child processes to it. There were also already "orphan" processes. After exiting VS, more orphan processes are left behind.

With Visual Studio still running, processes children of devenv.exe

After exiting Visual Studio, processes running, but orphaned

I installed like the readme says, the plugin starts, asks me for the API key but does not track anything.

Thanks!

👍

Hi!

I think the better way for this plugin to know the latest version of wakatime client is through releases. Is it possible to besides adding into history file also create a new release at https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime/releases?
Since github has an api which retrieves all release information about a specific repository Wakatime plugin could be smarter.

I just did a clean install of VS 2015 and installed Wakatime 6.0.0. After the restart required by installing the extension, nothing appeared to have happened. Looking closer, I could see that there was a second VS window hidden behind the main window - the dialog that prompts to download and install Python. It would be nice to have this in the foreground after the VS restart.

Been trying to get this to work for a couple of weeks now on Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and it's still not working. Currently running the 3.0 plugin which has been uninstalled/re-installed and still not seeing it working. .wakatime.log, .wakatime.db, .wakatime.cfg files are reside in C:\Users"username" directory and log file is blank. .wakatime.cfg just shows my API key. Would like to really look deeper into using this plugin, but need assistance. Thanks.

It started happening since I installed wakatime, may it just be a coincidence?

I got Python 2.7 installed.

Visual Studio 2013 Professional
Windows 8.1

#37 It doesn't work again.

I remove all wakatime files in my computer. Install wakatime again, after restart, Have no place to enter API key.
Moreover, Notepad++,Vim,Sublime text3 cannot waketime normal running. There are many errors in vim about python. Even if I have update the 2.7.9 python.

Hi,

I just installed the plugin... here is a screen capture of the window to fill my licence key:

My resolution screen is 3840x2160 and The window is very tiny...

Hello, I'm behind firewall and visual studio is not uploading data to wakatime?

Should I do any special configuration?

Thank you

As CodeMaid does.

hello,
i installed a plugin by your instruction but after restart visual studio 2012, not appear any window to input API key. this event occurred when i click on wakatime setting on tools menu too.
thanks.

Hi all!

Just forked and trying to open it in my Visual Studio 2013 Premium got an error as below.

When I input API key, the error is "object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Please support Visual Studio 2017 RC.

Hi,

Installed product versions

• Visual Studio: [15 Preview]

Description

At build 2016 Microsoft released Visual Studio 15 Preview.
There are some extensions that work there, but some that are not even searchable in "Extensions and Updates". Yours is one of those that are not searchable and not installable.

Steps to recreate

1. Install Visual Studio 15 Preview: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/downloads/visual-studio-next-downloads-vs.aspx (Visual Studio "15" Preview with new installer)
2. Open VS15Preview
3. Open Extensions and Updates
4. Click on Online in the menu
5. Search for WakaTime
6. Your extension doesn't pop up

Current behavior

Your extension is not searchable in new Visual Studio 15 Preview

Expected behavior

Your extension should or could be also in VS15Preview :)

Steps to fix

As I am writing this, one of other extension makers already fixed this issue for his extension here:
cpmcgrath/codealignment#43

You only need to add these:

<VisualStudio Version="15.0">
    <Edition>Pro</Edition>
    <Edition>Community</Edition>
</VisualStudio>

into your .vsixmanifest file into section <SupportedProducts> and it should work. :)

Regards.

Hi,
so I have installed VS2015Update2 and also VS15Preview.
When I try anything (delete .wakatime.* in ~; uninstall and install wakatime extension; restart VS2015Update2) VS2015Update2 works like a charm.
But when I try all of mentioned above in VS15Preview, every time I start VS15Preview I get window to enter API key, where there is my API key already inserted. See here:

I tried to enable debugging, if something would show in the .wakatime.log, but there is nothing from inicialization of key. Here is the Wakatime output from Output window in VS15Preview:

[Wakatime Info 05:20:28 PM] Please input your api key into the wakatime window.

If you need any more information, I am happy to help.

Edit: So it started to asking for API key in VS2015Update2 also :/
