vim-wakatime

Quantify your coding inside Vim.

Installation

Install Vundle, the Vim plugin manager.
Using Vundle:
echo "Bundle 'wakatime/vim-wakatime'" >> ~/.vimrc && vim +BundleInstall

or using Pathogen:
cd ~/.vim/bundle && git clone git://github.com/wakatime/vim-wakatime.git

Enter your api key, then press enter.
Use Vim and your coding activity will be displayed on your WakaTime dashboard.

Note: WakaTime depends on Python being installed to work correctly.

Screen Shots

Configuring

To use a custom python binary:

let g:wakatime_PythonBinary = '/usr/bin/python'

The default is to use python from your system PATH.

WakaTime plugins share a common config file ~/.wakatime.cfg located in your user home directory with these options available.

Troubleshooting

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 to write verbose logs to $WAKATIME_HOME/.wakatime.log.

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.

The How to Debug Plugins guide shows how to check when coding activity was last received from Vim use the User Agents API. For more general troubleshooting info, see the wakatime-cli Troubleshooting Section.

Uninstalling

Remove Bundle 'wakatime/vim-wakatime' from your .vimrc file, then delete your ~/.wakatime.cfg config file.
