Mofidy web-ui in aw-server

[Datpt0205]

I edited aw-webui in aw-server but nothing changed, how can I apply them after editing?

Read README.md

I actually have this problem too. Is the static bundled into the aw-server-rust.exe? I can even delete the static folders referenced in the readme, and it still works. I cleared the cache or even tried different browsers. I am still unable to use modified static files.

In fact, it looks like they might be embedded here: ActivityWatch/aw-server-rust@26acc28

This change was made like a year and a half ago.

The documentation was last updated 3-4 years ago. Is it still valid? I don't think it is.

Edit: it seems that it is built into the aw-server-rust.exe. To use the new webui changes with the build, you need to:

1. Clone the aw-server-rust repo
2. git submodule update --init --recursive the repo to get the webui repo
3. Change the remote of the repo to the remote of your repo. You might also be able to just put your dist in the aw-webui folder. If so, skip to 6.
4. Pull your changes
5. Build the aw-webui repo like normal according to the readme
6. Run cargo build --release. That yields aw-server.exe and aw-sync.exe files under the target folder
7. Rename aw-server.exe to aw-server-rust.exe
8. Replace the aw-sync.exe and aw-server-rust.exe in the C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\ActivityWatch\aw-server-rust directory
