Configuring
-----------
2017-10-05 05:12:08 +00:00
#### Commands:
2017-05-24 13:39:56 +00:00
* `:WakaTimeApiKey` - change the api key saved in your `~/.wakatime.cfg`
* `:WakaTimeDebugEnable` - enable debug mode (may slow down Vim so disable when finished debugging)
* `:WakaTimeDebugDisable` - disable debug mode
2017-10-05 05:03:26 +00:00
* `:WakaTimeScreenRedrawEnable` - enable screen redraw to prevent artifacts (only for Vim < 8.0 )
* `:WakaTimeScreenRedrawEnableAuto` - redraw screen when plugin takes too long (only for Vim < 8.0 )
* `:WakaTimeScreenRedrawDisable` - disable screen redraw
2017-05-24 13:39:56 +00:00
#### Vimrc Settings:
2015-02-13 03:19:40 +00:00
2017-10-05 05:12:08 +00:00
let g:wakatime_PythonBinary = '/usr/bin/python' " (Default: 'python')
2015-02-13 03:19:40 +00:00
2017-05-24 13:39:56 +00:00
Tells the plugin to use a custom python binary.
2015-02-13 03:19:40 +00:00
The default is to use `python` from your system PATH.
2018-05-25 13:50:30 +00:00
let g:wakatime_OverrideCommandPrefix = '/usr/bin/wakatime' " (Default: '')
Overrides the WakaTime CLI command prefix. You might need this when running
[wakatime-cli][wakatime-cli] with a custom wrapper script or from the pip
installed binary. Normally, the bundled [wakatime-cli][wakatime-cli] is used
so this setting is not needed.
2017-10-05 05:03:26 +00:00
WakaTime plugins also share a common `~/.wakatime.cfg` config file. [See common configs...][wakatime-cli-config]
2017-04-22 20:58:32 +00:00
Troubleshooting
---------------
2017-04-22 21:00:33 +00:00
Run `:WakaTimeDebugEnable` in Vim then run this Terminal command:
`tail -f ~/.wakatime.log`
Enabling Debug Mode writes Vim Script errors to your Vim Status Bar and tells [wakatime-cli][wakatime-cli] to write verbose logs to `$WAKATIME_HOME/.wakatime.log` .
2017-04-22 21:04:34 +00:00
2017-04-22 21:03:27 +00:00
Debug mode can make it hard to find the real error because of all the extra logging, so also try disabling Debug Mode while tailing `~/.wakatime.log` and editing files in Vim.
With Debug Mode enabled, the plugin sends data synchronously so disable it when finished debugging with `:WakaTimeDebugDisable` .
2017-04-22 20:58:32 +00:00
The [How to Debug Plugins][how to debug] guide shows how to check when coding activity was last received from Vim use the [User Agents API][user agents api].
