What's the warning message from your VSCode dev console window?

alanhamlett commented

That's not the dev console. To open the dev console, go to Help -> Toggle Developer Tools.

Please take a look again.

Some things I noticed:

  • your wakatime.log file shows wakatime-cli is executing (not blocked by Windows Defender)
  • your wakatime.log file shows wakatime-cli can't connect to the WakaTime API
  • your vscode dev console shows spawn EPERM when the plugin uses vscode's nodejs api to read the config file ~/.wakatime.cfg

That means there's probably two separate issues here:

  1. wakatime-cli unable to connect to the WakaTime API
  2. the vscode plugin unable to read ~/.wakatime.cfg

Can you check Windows Firewall and Windows Defender settings for recently blocked apps?
