FRAUD-TEST

This repo is for verifying that editor heartbeats from a Visual Studio extension match heartbeats recorded by an external device.

Overview

• The Visual Studio extension (a fork of the WakaTime extension) writes continuous heartbeat logs to:

  • logs/vs-heartbeats.log

• Your hardware device (or any external system) writes heartbeats to:

  • logs/device-heartbeats.log

The Python scripts in scripts/ normalize both logs into a common schema and compare them.

Setup

1. Clone this repository.

2. Set the environment variable FRAUD_TEST_ROOT to the absolute path of this repo, for example:

   • Windows PowerShell:

     $env:FRAUD_TEST_ROOT = "C:\Users\thisi\OneDrive\Desktop\FRAUD-TEST"

   • Windows (permanent, from cmd):

     setx FRAUD_TEST_ROOT "C:\Users\thisi\OneDrive\Desktop\FRAUD-TEST"

3. Open the Visual Studio extension solution:

   • extension/WakaTime.sln

   Build and install the Dev17 extension (Visual Studio 2022).

4. Make sure your device writes logs to:

   • logs/device-heartbeats.log

   in CSV format with a header row like:
