Exclude directories about brackets-wakatime HOT 11 CLOSED

Added an ignore preference in 0f4084a.

For example, adding this line to your Brackets preferences.json file will ignore any files matching one of the listed regular expressions:
"WakaTime.ignore": ["^/var/", "^/tmp/", "^/private/"]

Thanks!

Hi, is there any way to include only specific directories? I mean I don't really want to wakatime logged all my work, only on a certains directories, does it exist an include option? or wakatime register the hole system?

@drm-code add this regex to your `exclude config key:

exclude = .*

Then add regexes to match each folder you DO want to log:

include = 
    \/path\/to\/project1
    \/path\/to\/project2

That goes in your ~/.wakatime.cfg file. More info here:

Yes that works exactly as I expect, thanks :)

Hi, I'm having some trouble setting directories to be excluded in my .wakatime.cfg file. I'm doing something like the following, but it doesn't seem to ignore activity in that directory or its subdirectories:

exclude =
    ^/home/nam/Downloads/.*

Am I doing something incorrectly? I noticed that you escaped the path slashes in your "include" example. Do I need to do that, too? Is the .* also necessary for my exclude rule? Thanks!

from brackets-wakatime.

That regex is correct, but Brackets is the one plugin that doesn't use the ~/.wakatime.cfg file so it's not using the exclude rule.

My mistake. I didn't notice which repo I was in. I was actually having the issue with the cfg file and the emacs plugin. Should I recreate the issue over there?

You can create it here:

Also, add this line to your .wakatime.cfg and check your ~/.wakatime.log file for any related logging:
debug=true
