Describe the feature

WakaTime is a plugin to static coding time of all IDEs together in a dashboard

I'm not sure whether it's possible to support it in zed?

Or support third party plugins?

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help present your vision of the feature

No response

this depends on zed-industries/zed#5269
WakaTime has listed a Zed extension as "not yet available" (at the bottom of this page)

+1 to the request

A minimal extension API was added in zed-industries/zed#5269, but unfortunately it only supports themes and language extensions so it's not yet possible to build an extension like WakaTime. I've opened an issue to request a full extension API similar to other IDEs:

zed-industries/zed#10795

I'm wondering if a wakatime "LSP" could work, it'd send requests to the server that would run the wakatime-cli.

The documentation on creating editor client plugins mentions running the cli:

• on init: corresponds to initialized
• on file focus change: didOpenTextDocument seems to match
• on file content change: didChangeTextDocument seems to match
• on file save: didSaveTextDocument

So yeah it seems doable, and would even allow easily creating editor plugins for wakatime through LSP, I may start working on this if no one already is '^^

Welp, I should've searched before starting a repo lmao, seems like there's already exactly this: https://github.com/mrnossiom/wakatime-lsp

I'm gonna try and test this out @ewen-lbh as soon as I can. Nice find

I started a repo for the zed extension, but i'm waiting on mrnossiom/wakatime-ls#2

see https://github.com/ewen-lbh/zed-wakatime

[guilhermeabel]

Great!

[gwennlbh]

I can't really test this on my setup, the file picker dialog never opens so i can't load a dev extension... imma go to sleep anyways it's past 2am in my tz lmao
