Metrics, insights, and time tracking automatically generated from your programming activity.

Installation

Using the plugin manager:

micro -plugin install wakatime

Or from within micro (must restart micro afterwards for the plugin to be loaded):

> plugin install wakatime

Or manually install by cloning this repo as `wakatime` into your `plug` directory:

git clone https://github.com/wakatime/micro-wakatime ~/.config/micro/plug/wakatime

For the first time you install WakaTime in your machine the Micro startup could delay a bit.

1. Enter your [api key](https://wakatime.com/api-key), then hit `Enter`.

   (If you’re not prompted, press ctrl + e then type `wakatime.apikey`.)

2. Use Micro Editor and your coding activity will be displayed on your [WakaTime dashboard](https://wakatime.com).

Usage

Configuring

Extension settings are stored in the INI file at `$HOME/.wakatime.cfg`.

More information can be found from [wakatime core](https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime#configuring).

Troubleshooting

First, turn on debug mode:

1. Run micro with flag -debug.

   Logs are only generated when running with debug flag. Any other previous logs haven't been recorded.

Next, navigate to the folder you started micro and open `log.txt`.

Errors outside the scope of this plugin go to `$HOME/.wakatime/wakatime.log` from [wakatime-cli][wakatime-cli-help].

The [How to Debug Plugins][how to debug] guide shows how to check when coding activity was last received from your editor using the [Plugins Status Page][plugins status page].
