Though all three processes are running the browser interface doesn't seem to do much. Perhaps due to the error above.

[ErikBjare]

Actually, that's how the web interface is supposed to look. I wrote a clearer starting page, but apparently it hasn't been merged into the bundle repo, I'll do that right away. Clicking the Activity/Bucket buttons should get you to places where you can inspect the data. I have an idea what might have caused that bug...

Found this eerily similar bug: OtterBrowser/otter-browser#1313

I have a potential fix in ActivityWatch/aw-qt#15

[theguybieber]

The system is collecting data and I can view it under activity then clicking my macbook. Very cool. It would be cool if the main page went right to the data and also showed the status of the service (right now it shows all the status options).

[theguybieber]

I get it the status stuff is a placeholder.

[ErikBjare]

Yeah, I agree. The start page is something we'll have to design better.

[ErikBjare]

So, I did a lot of work in order to eliminate future problems like this.

• I set up basic integration testing for aw-qt: Basic integration test aw-qt#14
• Managed to replicate it: https://travis-ci.org/ActivityWatch/aw-qt/jobs/23893596
• Implemented a working fix: Fix to issue #13: Crashes on macOS aw-qt#15

So, fixed! Thanks for being our macOS bug catcher @theguybieber ;)

[huantianad]

Are the changes in ActivityWatch/aw-qt#15 still needed? It seems the qt bug causing the issue mentioned in OtterBrowser/otter-browser#1313 has also been fixed.

Only noticed this issue when packaging aw for NixOS, where I had to add the qtsvg library to have the icon show up. Maybe that could be noted as a dependency on Linux?

[ErikBjare]

@huantianad Wouldn't surprise me if this has been fixed and the workaround is no longer needed as we've switched from PyQt4 to PyQt6 since.

[huantianad]

Perhaps someone on macOS could test if this workaround is still needed?
