Wakatime VSC error -4058

[mikeyfe6]

Hi!

I have this issue with Wakatime and Visual Studio Code. It used to work perfectly.. But now the Wakatime extension stops after initializing and gives me a wakatime error;

Is it a option to re-install VSC? i've already reinstalled the wakatime extension.. no success...

Thanks in advance!

Getting the same thing. It just dropped off two days ago for me. Have tried installing the extension and even refreshed a new api key.

Maybe this was due to the GitHub outage a while back? We download wakatime-cli directly from GitHub releases. Can you try deleting the folder ~/.wakatime/ and restarting vscode?

[alanhamlett]

Also, try deleting ~/.wakatime-internal.cfg because that keeps the release version that's downloaded when GitHub says there aren't any new releases.

@alanhamlett Still the same problem tho.. its gives me a cfg file with cli_version v1.70.1 and the last modified date in it.

Also the wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.exe file in the .wakatime folder doesnt run if i click it. Similar on my mac i can run it tho by clicking on the wakatime-cli-darwin-amd64.exec file and it runs smoothly, so i guess the .exe file has some issues (?)

What happens if you run it from a terminal with:

wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.exe --version

[mikeyfe6]

@alanhamlett this is the output; 'wakatime-cli-windows-amd64.exe' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Looks like it's not in your CWD path. You might need to add .\ before the program or might need to cd into ~/.wakatime/ before running the command.

This is the response i get from my terminal;

PS: with the latest update (v24.0.9) i hoped it would be solved, but now the issue is that its keeps asking me for my API key, even if i filled it in correctly. The popup keeps showing up very 5 min appr..

I went over the steps again with deleting the ~/.wakatime-internal.cfg file and the ~/.wakatime/ folder. One thing changed is that the config file is now generated in the folder instead of the root of C:\Users\mfransman..
