Using wrong wakatime-cli binary file name on Linux arm64 #216

simonSlamka · 2021-07-16T03:52:10Z

Hello,

I'm experiencing unexpected behavior in my vscode with the wakatime extension. I have confirmed that my API key is correct.
The log in the home directory is empty.

Repro is to just install the extension, input your API key and get it to attempt to sync.

VSCode:

VSCode console says the following:

[WakaTime][ERROR] /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: �7@8�@����@@@@@���������@�@�����@@�u�u: not found/home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: �����: not found/home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: �����������@��@DD�P�td��e�e@�e@t�t��Q�td��/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2���GNU��: not found/home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: �+���Pz: not found/home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: cannot create �E�@@�u�u�X���Hz�libdl.so.2_ITM_deregisterTMCloneTable__gmon_start___Jv_RegisterClasses_ITM_registerTMCloneTabledlsymdlopendlerrorlibz.so.1inflateinflateInit_inflateEndlibc.so.6__stpcpy_chk__xpg_basenamemkdtempfflushstrcpyfchmodreaddirsetlocalefopenwcsncpystrncmp__strdupperrorclosedirftellsignalstrncpymbstowcsforkunlinkmkdirstdingetpidkillstrtokfeofcallocstrlenmemsetdirnamermdirfseekclearerrunsetenv__fprintf_chkstdoutstrnlenfclose__vsnprintf_chkmallocstrcatrealpathraise__strncpy_chknl_langinfoopendirgetenvstderr__snprintf_chk__strncat_chkexecvpstrncat__realpath_chkfilenofwritefreadwaitpidstrchr__vfprintf_chk__strcpy_chk__xstat__strcat_chksetbufstrcmp__libc_start_mainferrorstpcpyfreeGLIBC_2.2.5GLIBC_2.3GLIBC_2.4GLIBC_2.3.4����������������������������������������������������������������������������: File name too long/home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: �ELF����: not found/home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: 1: /home/simtoon/.wakatime/wakatime-cli/wakatime-cli: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

Furthermore, it reports the following:

I have identified an issue with the aforementioned build of VSCode: by default, when installing the plugin, it installs a x86_64 one instead of arm64, even when on arm64. So VSCode probably mistakenly pulls the intel/amd one. Maybe it has something to do with the insiders build, though.

simonSlamka · 2021-07-16T05:33:50Z

It took a minute, but I came up with a sneaky workaround for this issue by forcing the arm64 executable by locking out the extension from updating. On each launch, it updates itself and the CLI, right? well, as I mentioned here:

... So VSCode probably mistakenly pulls the intel/amd one. Maybe it has something to do with the insiders build, though ...

It downloads the x86_64 one for some reason, even when on arm64. Downloading the arm64 one manually works, but gets overwritten when the plugin updates the CLI. So I prevented VSCode from accessing the binary (I chowned it to root), so it couldn't be overwritten. Now it's working and sending out heartbeats correctly. Please include a check into the plugin that verifies the current arch. For example, gcc is capable of that.

Thanks

alanhamlett · 2021-07-16T21:02:21Z

The wakatime plugin uses os.arch() to detect amd64 or arm64. Maybe os.arch() is returning an unexpected string value, since the wakatime plugin expects the returned string to contain amd when arch is amd64.

alanhamlett · 2021-07-16T21:12:22Z

Could you please:

clone this repo
edit vscode-wakatime/src/dependencies.ts and add console.log(os.arch()); to line 437
run npm install && npm run compile from inside the root folder of this repo
run rm ~/.vscode/extensions/wakatime.vscode-wakatime-14.0.0/dist/extension.js
run ln -s ./dist/extension.js ~/.vscode/extensions/wakatime.vscode-wakatime-14.0.0/dist/extension.js from the root folder of this repo
Press ctrl + r inside the VS code dev console (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools) or just restart vscode
Look in the vscode dev console window for the output from os.arch() and paste that output here

simonSlamka · 2021-07-17T17:05:13Z

Could you please:

1. clone this repo

2. edit `vscode-wakatime/src/dependencies.ts` and add `console.log(os.arch());` to line `437`

3. run `npm install && npm run compile` from inside the root folder of this repo

4. run `rm ~/.vscode/extensions/wakatime.vscode-wakatime-14.0.0/dist/extension.js`

5. run `ln -s ./dist/extension.js ~/.vscode/extensions/wakatime.vscode-wakatime-14.0.0/dist/extension.js` from the root folder of this repo

6. Press `ctrl + r` inside the VS code dev console (Help -> Toggle Developer Tools) or just restart vscode

7. Look in the vscode dev console window for the output from `os.arch()` and paste that output here

On it.

simonSlamka · 2021-07-17T17:46:00Z

ln -s ./dist/extension.js ~/.vscode/extensions/wakatime.vscode-wakatime-14.0.0/dist/extension.js

symlinking didn't work, I had 'missing modules', however, copying worked.

Hmm, it outputs arm64. So the issue is elsewhere ...

Why are you doing this?

           }

simonSlamka · 2021-07-17T19:24:02Z

The problem seems to be that the latest arm64 binary is not being detected as the latest when polling the version value from GitHub. Still, that doesn't explain how we got from arm64 to x86_64. os.arch() is indeed working correctly.

alanhamlett · 2021-07-18T14:57:11Z

Why are you doing this?

vscode-wakatime/src/dependencies.ts

Lines 113 to 125 in 7ab65d7

private checkAndInstallLegacyCli(callback: () => void): void {

this.installLegacyCli(callback);

}

});

}

}

We currently have two wakatime-cli implementations. The new Go one and the legacy Python one. We download both so we can test the new Go one but fallback to the more stable Python one if the Go one errors.

alanhamlett · 2021-07-18T14:59:06Z

Can you turn on debug mode in the wakatime plugin settings, then open the vscode dev console and reload. Then paste the logs here?

simonSlamka · 2021-07-18T18:48:40Z

@alanhamlett Look at the original post, the three code blocks there are the erroneous output.

Thanks

alanhamlett · 2021-07-19T08:42:21Z

The issue is in vscode, where it's downloading the correct Linux arm64 wakatime-cli binary but then using wakatime-cli-linux-amd64 when trying running it.

alanhamlett · 2021-07-19T08:59:20Z

We can't just use the raw output from os.arch() because we use amd64 instead of x64 so some translation is needed. For some reason the if (arch.indexOf('arm') > -1) return arch; line isn't finding arm in the output of os.arch().

@simonSlamka can you also add this line after the current console.log you've already added:

console.log(typeof arch);

simonSlamka · 2021-07-19T09:08:39Z

@simonSlamka can you also add this line after the current console.log you've already added:

console.log(typeof arch);

os.arch() returns a string

alanhamlett · 2021-07-19T09:12:02Z

@simonSlamka you have the legacy python wakatime-cli disabled in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file?

alanhamlett · 2021-07-19T09:18:42Z

We had the new Go wakatime-cli disabled when sending heartbeats, but we still used it when fetching status bar code stats. Fixed with f56f87d.

simonSlamka · 2021-07-19T09:18:46Z

@alanhamlett no, not explicitly.

the version is v1.18.9, by the way

alanhamlett · 2021-07-19T09:23:38Z

Restarting vscode should fix it for you. However, the problem will return once we re-launch the new Go wakatime-cli. To fix this for later, you'll have to re-do the symlink from this comment then add these console.log lines to src/dependencies.ts:

 34     this.global = global;
 35     console.log(this.architecture());
 36   }

437   private architecture(): string {
438     const arch = os.arch();
439     console.log(typeof arch);
440     if (arch.indexOf('32') > -1) return '386';

And let me know the output in your vscode dev console after reloading.

simonSlamka · 2021-07-19T09:36:17Z

I pulled from origin and rebuilt, then copied the extension to the vscode dir. Still the same problem, it seems. Even the output is identical.

#216 (comment)

(except for the two console.log's we added)

alanhamlett · 2021-07-30T09:13:56Z

Yes, my next comment clarifies. I've deleted that wrong comment, you can ignore it since it's not correct.

alanhamlett · 2021-07-30T09:39:09Z

I found the problem, it's because the legacy wakatime-cli doesn't support arm! You should enable the new Go wakatime-cli with this line in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file:

new_beta_cli = true

Also, make sure to update the extension to v14.0.3 (latest version in the marketplace released Today) and restart VS Code.

Can you see if that fixes it for you?

jerome-diver · 2021-07-30T12:19:15Z

ok @alanhamlett it's fine now, i did what you said. Thank you very much to find and fix the problem.
But please, let us know if at next step we would have to modify the wakatime.cfg file again with something other.

alanhamlett · 2021-07-31T00:03:44Z

Nothing will be needed in the future, as this just enables the beta wakatime-cli before it's launched to everyone. When it's launched, the config change won't be needed anymore but it won't hurt to leave it there.

simonSlamka · 2021-07-31T00:16:26Z

Got it.
