WakaTime
========
Command line interface to `WakaTime `_ used by all WakaTime `text editor plugins `_.
Go to http://wakatime.com/editors to install the plugin for your text editor or IDE.
Installation
------------
Note: You shouldn't need to directly use this package unless you are `building your own plugin `_ or your text editor's plugin asks you to install the WakaTime CLI manually.
Each `plugin `_ installs the WakaTime CLI for you, except for the `Emacs WakaTime plugin `_.
Install the plugin for your IDE/editor:
https://wakatime.com/editors
Each plugin either comes pre-bundled with WakaTime CLI, or downloads the latest version from GitHub for you.
Usage
-----
If you are building a plugin using the `WakaTime API `_
then follow the `Creating a Plugin `_
guide.
For command line options, run ``wakatime --help``.
Some more usage information is available in the `FAQ `_.
Configuring
-----------
Options can be passed via command line, or set in the ``$WAKATIME_HOME/.wakatime.cfg``
config file. Command line arguments take precedence over config file settings.
The ``$WAKATIME_HOME/.wakatime.cfg`` file is in `INI `_
format. An example config file with all available options::
[settings]
debug = false
api_key = your-api-key
hide_file_names = false
hide_project_names = false
exclude =
^COMMIT_EDITMSG$
^TAG_EDITMSG$
^/var/(?!www/).*
^/etc/
include =
.*
include_only_with_project_file = false
status_bar_icon = true
status_bar_coding_activity = true
offline = true
proxy = https://user:pass@localhost:8080
no_ssl_verify = false
ssl_certs_file =
timeout = 30
hostname = machinename
[projectmap]
projects/foo = new project name
^/home/user/projects/bar(\d+)/ = project{0}
[git]
disable_submodules = false
For commonly used configuration options, see examples in the `FAQ `_.
Troubleshooting
---------------
Read `How to debug the plugins `_.
Make sure to set ``debug=true`` in your ``~/.wakatime.cfg`` file.
Common log file location in your User ``$WAKATIME_HOME`` directory::
~/.wakatime.log
Each plugin also has it's own log file:
* **Atom** writes errors to the developer console (View -> Developer -> Toggle Developer Tools)
* **Brackets** errors go to the developer console (Debug -> Show Developer Tools)
* **Cloud9** logs to the browser console (View -> Developer -> JavaScript Console)
* **Coda** logs to ``/var/log/system.log`` so use ``sudo tail -f /var/log/system.log`` in Terminal to watch Coda 2 logs
* **Eclipse** logs can be found in the Eclipse ``Error Log`` (Window -> Show View -> Error Log)
* **Emacs** messages go to the *messages* buffer window
* **Jetbrains IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, RubyMine, PhpStorm, AppCode, AndroidStudio, WebStorm)** log to ``idea.log`` (`locating IDE log files `_)
* **Komodo** logs are written to ``pystderr.log`` (Help -> Troubleshooting -> View Log File)
* **Netbeans** logs to it's own log file (View -> IDE Log)
* **Notepad++** errors go to ``AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\plugins\config\WakaTime.log`` (this file is only created when an error occurs)
* **Sublime** Text logs to the Sublime Console (View -> Show Console)
* **TextMate** logs to stderr so run TextMate from Terminal to see any errors (`enable logging `_)
* **Vim** errors get displayed in the status line or inline (use ``:redraw!`` to clear inline errors)
* **Visual Studio** logs to the Output window, but uncaught exceptions go to ActivityLog.xml (`more info... `_)
* **VS Code** logs to the developer console (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools)
* **Xcode** type ``sudo tail -f /var/log/system.log`` in a Terminal to view Xcode errors

Contributing
------------
To install the dev environment::
virtualenv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
pip install tox
Before contributing a pull request, make sure tests pass::
tox
The above will run tests on all Python versions available on your machine.
To just run all tests with your current Python version::
nosetests
To run only a single test method, specify the test file location, test class,
and test method. For example, to only run the Git project detection test::
nosetests tests.test_project:ProjectTestCase.test_git_project_detected
Many thanks to all `contributors `_!
