Wakatime does not work on vscode.dev/github.dev

[zumbiepig]

When I install the Wakatime extension on VS Code for the Web (not GitHub Codespaces), I get an error saying api key not provided or api key invalid. I have properly configured my API key and API URL in the Settings and config.json.

Type cmd/ctrl + shift + p then type wakatime api key. Does the value displayed match the one at https://wakatime.com/api-key?

It's working for me, and we don't have a config.json file related to vscode-wakatime on the web that I know of.

Yes, the value matches. The config.json that I am talking about is VS Code's config.json (Go to Settings > click the file icon in the top right). In VS Code settings, i search for wakatime and all the settings for wakatime (only 2) are correct.

@alanhamlett I have heard from others that the wakatime-cli binary might be required for Wakatime to work properly. But that doesn't seem possible in a browser setting, and the VS Code Settings for the extension do explicitly mention Defaults to ~/.wakatime.cfg, except in a browser.

The browser version uses a separate web-version of the plugin that we modified to not require wakatime-cli:
