Re-creating .wakatime-project

Closed this issue · 9 comments

Hi, I am a bit confused and need some discussion to understand if the problem is with wakatime or with my setup:

Now, my project is at work, so it uses all the hide_xxx options in wakatime config, and also a pre-existing committed .wakatime-project file. BUT, every time I do editing, this file is recreated with a new unique name, I do not yet know the frequency of this change, but I can see there are A LOT of random projects reported in the UI, each with approximately 10 minutes of time logged, so I suppose this re-creation happens at about 10 minute interval.

I want to understand why it is happening and how to prevent this? Any ideas are welcome, I will test them out.

The hide_project_names creates that file if it doesn't exist, but it should only create it once. One of these is happening:

  1. something is deleting the .wakatime-project file causing wakatime-cli to re-create it
  2. a bug in wakatime-cli is re-creating .wakatime-project because it thinks it doesn't exist

What version of wakatime-cli are you using? Run this to find out:

~/.wakatime/wakatime-cli --version

My guess is there's a bug in wakatime-cli where it fails reading the project file and then re-creates it.

Also, are there any errors in your ~/.wakatime/wakatime.log file? Could you paste the contents here, or if it's too large email to support@wakatime.com?

alanhamlett commented

Let's see if #1104 fixes it. That prevents ever re-creating an already existing .wakatime-project file.

After that's merged, run rm ~/.wakatime/wakatime-cli* then restart Zed to get the new wakatime-cli version. Then if you start seeing Unknown Project on your dashboard instead of random projects it means the fix worked, but wakatime-cli is having trouble reading your .wakatime-project file for some reason.

nothing else in there.

Where's your wakatime-cli located? Maybe the Zed extension puts it inside the LSP extension's folder?

I think you need to re-install the zed extension to get the updated wakatime-cli.

If you don't see it, try reinstalling and check again.

Hmm, I have not seen this for a while. Must have been some botched installation or something. After reinstalling the plugin it's all clean for a while!
