Probably misplace of watcher folder and some suggestions

I followed up the instructions but they are not really clear:

  • In step three it says:

    Copy the dist/aw-watcher-gnome directory to your ActivityWatch directory.

    But the actual file name is aw_watcher_gnome. It was really hard to find.

    • Where should I put this exactly? I tried to put in config folder and opt/activity-watch but no luck.

  • I came across your gnome shell extension, is that meant to be installed with that watcher or something different?

  • In step 5, you mentioned the edits in the toml file. But should I uncomment these lines? Maybe this is a common knowledge of toml files but I guess there will be a plenty of people that don't know that. I did learn that answer with a couple of trial and errors.

And last of all, I'm stuck with error now:

Thanks for the feedback! I'm currently busy, but I'll fix those issues as soon as I can.

Where should I put this exactly? I tried to put in config folder and opt/activity-watch but no luck

In the Directory where you installed ActivityWatch, where the aw-qt binary is located.

I came across your gnome shell extension, is that meant to be installed with that watcher or something different?

Yes, the extension was created for the watcher and the watcher depends on it.

In step 5, you mentioned the edits in the toml file. But should I uncomment these lines? Maybe this is a common knowledge of toml files but I guess there will be a plenty of people that don't know that. I did learn that answer with a couple of trial and errors.

Yes, you should uncomment them. Sorry for not mentioning it.

Manager tried to start nonexistent module aw-watcher-gnome

Did you try putting the folder in /opt/activitywatch? If you did and that didn't work, try the data directory

Thanks! It looks like it was my mistake, I did copy the wrong aw-watcher-gnome folder. I put it on /opt/activitywatch folder and after installing gnome extension, it works well.

Thanks for your hard work

Thanks for checking my project out!

(I'll reopen this issue as a reminder for myself to fix the issues)

I added mentions of the extension and the commented lines to the README. Feel free to re-open this if there are still problems.
