What is .user.login in WakaTime conf ?

[koneMorris1625]

Hi, thanks to your amazing works, I deployed my README.md successfully. But there still some confused me.

The first time try to deploy, I follow plugin/wakatime and used the last option where the emoji point, the value is: .user.login, thenmetrics.plugin.wakatime.svg returned always told me: API returned 404; but if I make plugin_wakatime_user: current, the default one, it's working.

I have find your action.yml in about 1200 lines, say current is default one as well.

So could you tell me why there is .user.login?

        plugin_wakatime_token: ${{ secrets.WAKATIME_TOKEN }}      # Required
        plugin_wakatime_days: 7                                   # Display last week stats
        plugin_wakatime_sections: time, projects, projects-graphs # Display time and projects sections, along with projects graphs
        plugin_wakatime_limit: 4                                  # Show 4 entries per graph
        plugin_wakatime_url: https://wakatime.com                 # Wakatime url endpoint
        ➡️ plugin_wakatime_user: .user.login                         # User  
    ```

I wish my poor English makes you know all above. Thanks for your did once again!

Hello,

Indeed it was changed to "current" (though I don't remember when) but doc probably had not be updated to reflect this change.

The .user.login is a special value which should be replaced with your GitHub login (i.e. koneMorris1625) so if you don't have the same handle on wakatime it could be why you had 404 not found errors.

But for wakatime, "current" is more reliable since it is attached to your API token 🙂

Thanks a lot for your support 😄 !
