Module aw-watcher-window quit unexpectedly

aw-user · August 12, 2023, 12:22am

I recently downloaded ActivityWatch for Mac running 11.7.9, Intel

Upon starting the app I get a Native Box saying:
“Module aw-watcher-window quit unexpectedly”

With the following details:
2023-08-11 10:43:18 [INFO ]: aw-watcher-window started (aw_watcher_window.main:62)
2023-08-11 10:43:19 [INFO ]: Using swift strategy, calling out to swift binary (aw_watcher_window.main:67)
2023-08-11 10:43:19 [INFO ]: Connection to aw-server established by aw-watcher-window (aw_client.client:436)

Restarting aw-watcher-window does not help me.
ie) The checkbox for aw-watcher-window does not show a checkmark.

I was curious and went through attempting to build the software myself.

Running make build yielded issues with the macOS version I am on:

...
aw_watcher_window/macos.swift:192:53: error: 'upload(for:from:delegate:)' is only available in macOS 12.0 or newer
...
aw_watcher_window/macos.swift:258:51: error: 'upload(for:from:delegate:)' is only available in macOS 12.0 or newer
...
aw_watcher_window/macos.swift:295:24: error: 'now' is only available in macOS 12 or newer
    let nowTime = Date.now
...

Also a couple of “note: add ‘if #available’ version check”

I tried doing

if #available(macOS 12.0, *) {
    // Code that uses macOS 12.0 APIs
} else {
    // Code for older macOS versions
}

Any recommendations?
I’ve yet to see the full capabilities of ActivityWatch and am excited to see how it all works!

I stumbled upon this open issue:

The following was posted in: https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/issu…es/787#issuecomment-1260766761 --- Unfortunately, v0.12.1 didn't work for me. There are no errors in the logs now: ``` ➜ ~ cat ~/Library/Logs/activitywatch/aw-watcher-window/aw-watcher-window_2022-09-28T16-39-12.log 2022-09-28 16:39:12 [INFO ]: aw-watcher-window started (aw_watcher_window.main:62) 2022-09-28 16:39:13 [INFO ]: Using swift strategy, calling out to swift binary (aw_watcher_window.main:67) 2022-09-28 16:39:13 [INFO ]: Connection to aw-server established by aw-watcher-window (aw_client.client:429) ``` But it seems that the afk-watcher-window is not running as seen from the ps output ``` ➜ ~ ps aux|grep ActivityWatch|grep -v grep umar 1424 0.4 0.5 5205432 81832 ??

Thanks :) Edit: I also get an error pop-up, that I hadn't noticed before, everytime activitywatch opens up. There's no error in the details. But it's consistently crashing <img width="428" alt="image" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/3756804/192768258-e4aae8e0-a483-479a-8094-1b608377680b.png"> _Originally posted by @Gleek in https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/issues/787#issuecomment-1260766761_

Moving my concerns there.
