No active tracking after start

[dakotak]

After starting tracking it seem that time warrior does not find any entries. Issue seems similar to #146 but seems different as the database file name is correct.

I removed the database files and config files with the same result.

I have been using time warrior on my work computer (also osx) without any issues, but after installing on my personal computer I have not been able to get it to work.

• This is a new install (via brew)
• I am running macOS 14.3.1
• Python 3.12.3

@dakotak I see there is a 2024-05.data in ~/.data/timewarrior/data after you called timew start test, but does it have any content?

Can you try to manually create a ~/.timewarrior directory an see whether it works then? 🤔

[dakotak]

@lauft I can see the files in ~/.data/timewarrior/data growing in size after each command, so it seems data is being correctly written just not read from this location. Manually creating ~/.timewarrior makes the application work it seems (though not using xdg directories).

@dakotak Debugging further...

When using XDG, how does the output of timew start test2 :debug look like? The :debug hint will print more context information which may help us reproducing the issue.

[dakotak]

@lauft Here are the outputs from running times start test2 :debug. I ran it twice, once with the ~/.timewarrior directory in place and another after deleting the ~/.timewarrior directory.
