Installation

Tech

Code Climbers uses the incredible work done by Alan Hamlet and the WakaTime team!

Configuring

VS Code specific settings are available from ⌘ + Shift + P, then typing code climbers.

For example, to hide today's coding activity in your status bar:

Press ⌘ + Shift + P then set Code Climbers: Status Bar Coding Activity to false.

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

More information can be found from wakatime-cli.

If using an online IDE like gitpods, add your api key to global ENV key CODE_CLIMBERS_API_KEY.

Notes:

1. $HOME defaults to $HOME
2. To disable the extension at startup add disabled=true to your config, this operation can also be performed by pressing ⌘ + Shift + P and selecting Code Climbers: Disable.

Troubleshooting

First, turn on debug mode:

1. Press F1 or ⌘ + Shift + P
2. Type > Code Climbers: Debug, and press Enter.
3. Select true, then press Enter.

Next, open your Developer Console to view logs and errors:

Help → Toggle Developer Tools

Errors outside the scope of vscode-codeclimbers go to $HOME/.wakatime/wakatime.log from wakatime-cli.

If your error message contains "won't send heartbeat due to backoff" then delete your ~/.wakatime/wakatime-internal.cfg file to trigger an API connection so we can see the real error message.

The How to Debug Plugins guide shows how to check when coding activity was last received from your editor using the Plugins Status Page.

For more general troubleshooting info, see the wakatime-cli Troubleshooting Section.

SSH configuration

If you're connected to a remote host using the ssh extension you might want to force WakaTime to run locally instead on the server. This configuration is needed when the server you connect is shared among other people. Please follow this guide.

Uninstalling

1. Click the Extensions sidebar item in VS Code.

2. Type code climbers and hit enter.

3. Click the settings icon next to Code Climbers, then click Uninstall.

4. Delete the ~/.wakatime* files in your home directory, unless you’re still using Code Climbers with another IDE.
