Description

This extension create a link between taskwarrior and timewarrior that allows you to keep track of time spend on tasks. The time will be displayed in a new column in taskwarrior.

Docker

git clone https://github.com/gkssjovi/trackwarrior.git
cd trackwarrior

sudo ln -s "$PWD/bin/trackwarrior-docker" /usr/local/bin/trackwarrior

Use tasksh as main frontend

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/trackwarrior
sudo ln -s "$PWD/bin/trackwarrior-docker-tasksh" /usr/local/bin/trackwarrior

Use taskwarrior-tui as main frontend

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/trackwarrior
sudo ln -s "$PWD/bin/trackwarrior-docker-tui" /usr/local/bin/trackwarrior

Local Installation

git clone https://github.com/gkssjovi/trackwarrior.git
cd trackwarrior

cp -r ./taskwarrior/hooks/. ~/.task/hooks
cp -r ./timewarrior/extensions/. ~/.timewarrior/extensions

cd ~/.task/hooks
chmod +x on-modify.trackwarrior on-add.trackwarrior

cd ~/.timewarrior/extensions
chmod +x trackwarrior-duration.js trackwarrior-ids.js

Configuration

Copy those lines into your ~/.taskrc file

uda.trackwarrior.type=string
uda.trackwarrior.label=Total active time
uda.trackwarrior.values=

uda.trackwarrior_rate.type=string
uda.trackwarrior_rate.label=Rate
uda.trackwarrior_rate.values=

uda.trackwarrior_total_amount.type=string
uda.trackwarrior_total_amount.label=Total amount
uda.trackwarrior_total_amount.values=

# this allow only one task to be active
max_active_tasks=1 
# when you delete the task, the time tracking will be also be deleted from timewarrior 
erase_time_on_delete=false 
# those are tags in taskwarrior.When you add one of them the time tracking will be deleted from timewarrior
clear_time_tags=cleartime,ctime,deletetime,dtime
update_time_tags=update,updatetime,utime,recalc
create_time_when_add_task=false
rate_per_hour=10
rate_per_hour_decimals=2
rate_per_hour_project=Inbox:0,Other:10
rate_format_with_spaces=10
currency_format=de-DE,EUR

To display the new column on the next report modify the ~/.taskrc file

report.next.labels=ID,St,Active,Age,Time,Rate,Total,...,Description,Urg
report.next.columns=id,status.short,start.age,entry.age,trackwarrior,trackwarrior_rate,trackwarrior_total_amount,...,description,urgency

Usage

If you installed the docker version, just run trackwarrior to open the configured fronted (default: fish shell).

Integrate with starship

1. Locally install taskwarrior
2. Install starship
3. Set the correct rights for your local taskwarrior to read the data from the container

# trackwarrior needs to be used at least once
sudo chown "$(id -u):$(id -g)" ~/.trackwarrior-docker/.task/pending.data

4. Add the following to your starship.toml

[custom.current_task]
command = """TASKRC=~/.trackwarrior-docker/.taskrc TASKDATA=~/.trackwarrior-docker/.task unbuffer task starship-project | head -5 | tail -1 | sed "s/No matches./[No active task]/" | xargs"""
when = true
shell = "bash"

Usage Examples

If you use a tasksh as a frontend, you can use the same commands as shown here, but without typing task in the beginning.

If you use taskwarrior-tui as a frontend, check the taskwarrior-tui documentation instead.

Create a new task

task add 'This is task 1' project:Example
task next

 ID St Age   Project Description    Urg
  1 P  10s   Example This is task 1    1

Start the new created task

task 1 start
task next

 ID St Active Age   Time    Project Description    Urg
  1 P    4s   18s   0:00:00 Example This is task 1    5

Stop the new created task

task 1 stop
task next
View the time tracking in taskwarrior

 ID St Age   Time    Project Description    Urg
  1 P  46s   0:00:15 Example This is task 1    1

View the time tracking in timewarrior

                                                                                 0:00:15

Delete the time tracking

task 1 mod +cleartime or task 1 mod +ctime or task 1 mod +deletetime or task 1 mod +dtime

Update time tracking

task 1 mod +update or task 1 mod +updatetime or task 1 mod +utime or task 1 mod +recalc
