WakaTime not working inside alpine docker container without glibc.

[9brada6]

Hi, I want to use WakaTime inside a docker container, with alpine Linux. All my other extension work good, but WakaTime is not working.
It says that creates a log file inside the root directory, but I don't see being created.

This is what it says in developer workbrench, with debug enabled:

It seems that in another ubuntu container it works properly...

Steps to reproduce:

1. copy the text below and place it in a file named dockerfile.
2. cd into directory
3. build the image: "docker build -t waka_test ."
4. run the image: "docker run --rm --name wakatest waka_test" (nothing is displayed, image keep running)
5. Open vscode, install docker remote extension, connect to container, install wakatime extension, insert api-key, watch not working.

I think a package is missing, but I can't figure out what...

FROM alpine:edge as dev

I fixed this by changed FROM to use an alpine image with glibc: https://hub.docker.com/r/frolvlad/alpine-glibc/

Try adding these lines to your ~/.wakatime.cfg file:

standalone = false
alpha = true

Then restart VS Code. Does that fix it?
