One of the things proposed in ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-window-wayland#36.

Looks good to me since it fixes the build issue.

I no longer use this software since it stopped supporting hyprland.
I attempted to test functionality using sway, but it is also dropped. I then quickly attempted to set it up on KDE and Phosh but did not get anything to work.
The project itself has not seen any activity for 7 months and also suggests people to use a different project ActivityWatch/aw-watcher-window-wayland#34.

The program did build and launch but since neither hyprland nor sway expose the idle object that it needs it exits, but that behavior is not related to this PR.

thread 'main' panicked at src/idle.rs:79:10:
Wayland session does not expose a Idle object, this window manager is most likely not supported: Missing

I tested the package with Phosh, the only other platform which is supported. I started the 'aw-server-rust'. Under Phosh, '
aw-watcher-window-wayland' runs without a panic. I am guessing it is working properly, but I am neither using Phosh nor aw-watcher to fully verify their correct behavior.

Tested with the configuration

services.xserver.desktopManager.phosh = {
  enable = true;
  user = "jonas";
  group = "users";
};
services.xserver = {
  enable = true;
};

In order to run, disable all other desktop/window and login managers. Phosh will boot itself right away. The passcode is your user password, use your keyboard for that. I could only run Emacs for some reason, but that was enough to start this package without an exception.

Running Phosh was not the issue but aw-watcher-window-wayland just panicked on my system when running Phosh (basically same setup).

If aw-watcher-window-wayland works then the aw-watcher-window_<hostname> bucket should contain events which are not all unknown.

To check this go to the activitywatch timeline . If you can not start a browser in Phosh you can also try to query with aw-client.

aw-client buckets will list the buckets known to the server. If you query aw-client events aw-watcher-window_<hostname> and get events in return which make sense then the program works like usual.
