Description

Adding existing time has been disabled.

Taskwarrior hooks to add the UDA elapsed on new tasks and modified tasks, anything with a start and end value. This is useful for tracking time spent on tasks.

It also helps preserve the start and end time of a task, which is removed by Taskwarrior when an end time is added.

This hook is not good for tracking time spent on tasks that you toggle on and off and will break any other hooks that are designed to do this.

This hook is good for tracking time spent on tasks that you explicilty start and finish and you'd like to keep that information. I use this to track my shifts at work.

Elapsed is calculated by existing_time + (end_date - start_date).

Elapsed is calculated by end_date - start_date.

Installation

Note that there are a couple noop (no operation) hooks that are included as well. They'll be removed in due time.

Requires that the Rust toolchain be installed. If you need a release, create an issue and I'll start making releases.

Using just

Need to have just installed.

just install

This will put on-add_elapsed and on-modify_elapsed binaries in ~/.task/hooks.

Manually

1. Create installation binary in a local build directory: cargo install --root ./build --path .
2. Copy the binaries to your hooks directory (by default in ~/.task/hooks): cp ./build/bin/* ~/.task/hooks/

Scenarios

Adding/Logging a Task:

• If task has a start and end date: Add elapsed time
• If task is missing a start or end date: Do nothing

Modifying a Task:

• If task has a start and end date: Add elapsed time to existing time
• If task is missing a start or end date: Do nothing
