Troubleshooting
First, turn on debug mode:
- 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.
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.
