I have a tampermonkey script I have written for Chrome. In order for the timers to show, I have to clear my browser cache and reload my page. Every time.

Any idea why this would be happening or how I can prevent it?

There are no console errors and I have a button to loadTimers that manually calls the timers:add function, and it's triggering, but still no graphic.

When I submit time from Harvest, it automatically detects last used Harvest Project, which is connected with my Redmine project.

But - is it possible to automatically select Task Name, last used?
Or better - specify task ID or NAME in Json?

Hi,

I'm trying to integrate the harvest button in our issue tracker. I want to be able to setup the selected project when the button is clicked, so the default project could be the one the actual displayed issue belong to.
Unfortunately the is no "project" parameter in the data-item section. So i'm trying to do it with jQuery, do you think it is possible to change the default value of the select menu of the project field when the popup is showed ? Cause the select menu is hidden by default,..

Thanks

We are using https://platform.harvestapp.com/assets/platform.js in our codebase but recently that started breaking. Can you please share whats the change done or PR link where we can see whats needed to make it work.

What, am I made out of bandwidth? platform.min.js, please!

We have a Redmine instance on port 8085. https://platform.harvestapp.com/assets/platform.js tries to contact https://platform.harvestapp.com:8085, which won't work.

We found a dirty workaround. We are hosting our own platform.js and source it from our server. I removed the characters at position 1219 and 1220 ("+r") and now it works properly.

I have implemented the Harvest button on our product Zapty. We want to show the user whether he/she is working on a particular task or not like Asana is already doing. Is there any way to track whether a user has started or stopped its time?

We are pulling a platform.js script from the CDN provided in your readme but it stopped working very recently (within last 24 hours). The issue seems to be a const reassignment in the addTimers function. For now, I have resolved this by patching the raw js file and changing const o to let o

Console error:

After patch:

Please do let me know if this is expected behaviour or a bug and if it is expected, let me know how I can resolve it without patching the script

Seeing errors with message : SyntaxError: The string did not match the expected pattern. in Safari.

Sorry for the screenshot and not providing a text version of the stacktrace. Safari doesn't make it possible to copy/paste stacktraces as text.

The error happens in

  if (accessToken && accountId) {
    postCredentialsToChromeExtension(accessToken, accountId)
  }

Which seems logical because Safari won't have any chrome extensions 😅

Description

When you sign out from the account switching subwindow, the widget doesn't update to show that you're signed out. That means that you're still able to click Start Timer. When you do so, an error box appears without any text. It looks like this:

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a platform widget and make sure you're signed in.
2. Click Switch Account.
3. Instead of selecting an account, click Sign Out at the bottom.
4. Go back to the widget and click Start Timer.

Expected result

Either signing out would update the widget to show the You need to sign in! page again, or at an error would be displayed that says I'm not signed in.

Hello,
If we were to use your widget in our own application are we allowed to query your api with the group_id and item_id? There is no documentation for this here: https://github.com/harvesthq/platform/blob/master/widget.md
thank you!

Harvest is working hard, to create really cool user interface, work working not only with mouse, but a keyboard too. But API has one tiny bug:

Scenario:

• open new time report in API
• enter in "from" field (e.g.2003) time, then go to next input field by keyboard TAB ("field "to" time will be converted automatically to decimal or time format "20:03")
• enter in "to" field time (e.g. 2100), and (this is important!) - press ENTER.

Time will be added as hours, left till midnight.
In my examle:

Did anything change in https://platform.harvestapp.com/assets/platform.js recently ?

I have a harvest button in my app and the "Stop Timer" never appears after we start the timer. It was working before.

I was able to replicate the issue with this small html code also.

https://jsfiddle.net/mho8k2rx/

It would be create if the widget would pass data back to the original app when the timer was stopped or entry created.
Something similar to the harvest-event:ready would be terrific. This would allow us to show the values on our side.

Two tickets related to favicons not showing up properly when using Platform:

https://iridesco.zendesk.com/agent/#/tickets/92987
https://iridesco.zendesk.com/agent/#/tickets/92840

Are they related or just a coincidence? I've never run into this issue and I'm not sure what could cause it.

@harvesthq/discovery @harvesthq/delta-force

Button 'Stop Timer' emits message event with data {type: 'timer:stopped'}, but button 'Start Timer' emits message event with data {type: 'frame:close'}. So click on 'Cancel' and on 'Start Timer' are indistinguishable

We've been able to successfully integrate into our app, but the external project link doesn't show our app icon. We're assuming this is pulling the page favicon as the source. Is there something we are missing?

IE 11 complains, when importing your code via <script async src="https://platform.harvestapp.com/assets/platform.js"></script> to setup the harvest button.

Following screenshot shows the error, which is thrown by IE:

The .initCustomEvent() seems to be the problem. Simply adding an empty object as 4th parameter, solved the issue. So you would have .initCustomEvent("harvest-event:ready", !0, !0, {})

Background:
We have legacy web app that uses simple jQuery and Underscore.js, Underscore.js string libraries.

Issue:
https://platform.harvestapp.com/assets/platform.js overwrites the Underscore.js _ object.

Reproduce:
Use the sample button app https://github.com/harvesthq/platform/blob/master/button.md

It used to work but I guess something changed from your side.

The Harvest button script is returning 401 unauthorized as the response for the request for "https://platform.harvestapp.com/platform/running_timer.json". The response body says, "You must be authenticated with Harvest to complete this request." As a result, the buttons just don't work. Clicking on them does nothing. I would expect clicking on them to bring up a log-in modal. This is causing significant productivity interference in my app where non-logged in users cannot easily log in by clicking the button, and the app just feels broken because nothing happens.

I would like the ability to change the date from within the harvest widget. Currently, using a plugins such as https://github.com/omigos/HubHarvester, I end up creating the time log, then visiting harvest to edit the date.

See this issue https://github.com/omigos/HubHarvester/issues/16

Is there anything like the default_project_code/name variable but for the actual task? We're trying to integrate this into our ticketing system and the tickets come across with the task they fall under so we want to set the task to default to the tickets task.

Is there anyway to do this currently?

I'm developing an integration with Todoist.

Currently, no icon is shown on the team member page and a generic "link" icon is shown on the timer widget of the Chrome extension.

Is there a way to specify the icon for the service where the permalink is located? If it's done on your end and you are willing to add an icon for this, I'm using the applicationName "Todoist".

Hi!

Will it be available in the future, to set Date in time report?
E.g. - today, if I want to report time about Yesterday, I need to report time and then open it in Edit mode in Harvest online, and then change date.

In an upcoming release of Chrome and Firefox, they will prevent cookies without the SameSite setting to be externally accessible.

I tested this with the available browser flags and it seems that this API isn't usable anymore.

Any chance your team is going to fix this anytime soon?

Hi there,

We had a working widget embedded in our internal site but its currently not working. I've contacted Harvest support but not heard anything back from them. Let me know if you need more info.

Hi!

From pop-up timer window disappeared "Total Time Logged" for issue.
Previously it was visible somewhere around this red block:

the button inclusion does not work for me due to CSP...

https://developer.chrome.com/apps/contentSecurityPolicy

I'm adding in the project code, taken from the value of the select menu project and this isn't returning a default item.
<option value="14615508">(Content) Meeting: 1-1</option>

<div class="harvest-timer" data-default='{"project_code":"14615508"}'></div>

If You "delete" any task name from Harvestapp project settings, but this Task name has alreaddy assigned time entries, then in Harvestapp project settings it will show up as:

And will not be available for new task entries in Harvestapp.

But - in platform api - it will still be available to choose "deleted" tasks from dropdown

Apart from #5, where you offered to manually set the application icon, I couldn't find any resource explaining how to get the favicon there automatically (if this is possible at all).

I'm asking because I'm developing a time tracking plugin for JIRA (I know that there are already :) ) which could be deployed to different addresses and setting up the icon manually each time seems cumbersome.

Is there such a resources somewhere? I tried with different combinations of favicon formats and markup, but without success.

If I pass:
{"id":"12","name":"Project Name"}
(Where "12" and "Project Name" are available in my harvest account)

and the group (Project) already exist in my account, it should be a pre-selected entry.

Currently the button opens the window and suggests me adding new entry under the same name.
I consider this a bug because this doesn't allow integrations on already-existing setups and render that button unusable.

Let's say if we like to put the timer on projects as well on tasks.

"permalink": "https://example.com/%item%/%ITEM_ID%"

For projects we would like to link

"permalink": "https://example.com/projects/project123

For tasks we would like to link

"permalink": "https://example.com/tasks/task123

I've implemented the widget on a Drupal site we use as a ticket tracking system for customer support. I've noticed that when the timer is running the 'Stop timer' button gets focused when the timer increments. This is really irritating if you're reading something elsewhere on the page, or worse when you're writing something in a field and suddenly the field loses focus and you jump down to the widget.

I've only tested this on Safari 9.0.3 so far, I can take a look at Chrome and see if its happening there too. Is this something you're aware of?

Hi,
I am wondering if it would be possible to specify both client_name and project_name for the button?

We have Shared project names for all our customers, example:

Client X: Consultancy
Client Y: Consultancy

Consultancy is the Project name.

I would like to be able to pre select the correct client and project name in my button so it is would be easy to report time on each client.

Hej, i wrote a little userscript to implement Harvest Platform on getflow.com these days. Is it possible to add the favicon of https://app.getflow.com?

If a registered button is clicked and the timer is started, the "running" class is applied by harvest's JS. However if you come back to that button (either after a page load, or dynamic UI change and the button is recreated, and registered) the button doesn't get the "running" class applied to it.

Is this a bug? It seems counter to the usefulness of the button!

Is there any way for us to manually determine the state of a timer and apply a running class ourselves?

I've only seen this in Safari, but want to document it. Here's a screenshot:

I've noticed it happens way more when scrolling up than down.

After refreshing, the Harvest widget is not displaying the active timer. The data remains the same, and it only offers me the option to create a new timer.

The timer is running in the background, but it's not being displayed by the widget.

I'm using this widget for integration with Gitlab (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gitlab-harvest/ofbfhaiknhlanbliolbkiidknakaldmo?hl=en-US)

The Harvest widget will periodically shift the focus in the browser to the "Stop timer" button automatically on the page. When you're typing a comment and it shifts the focus, it caused the timer to be stopped.

Any clue what's causing that?

The Harvest Platform is well done and really easy to use. Great work!

We have just released an integration with GitHub:
http://blog.klokantech.com/2012/12/github-time-tracking-and-invoicing.html

If the people are not logged into Harvest you display the "Please Sign-In" dialog which has on the bottom a sentence "If you don't have an account yet, try Harvest free now." with link to:
http://www.getharvest.com/signup?utm_source=WebPlatform

Would it be possible to include the "referral" key as an option in the _harvestPlatformConfig and use it in this link?

So for the 'referral':'66lx' the link would become:
http://www.getharvest.com/signup?invitation=66lx

Thanks!

It looks like you closed #44 suggesting that it had to do with it being a 3rd party extension, it also looks like you don't seem to be responding to comments on closed issues, I am making a new post here.

From the @andyg5000 who initially opened the issue:

The Harvest widget will periodically shift the focus in the browser to the "Stop timer" button automatically on the page. When you're typing a comment and it shifts the focus, it caused the timer to be stopped.

@adunkman I don't think you understand what @andyg5000 is saying, this is not support for a 3rd party extension, this is a problem with the fact that your iframe widget steals the focus after an amount of time so that it actually interrupts a users workflow. It happens exactly when the timer shows that 1 minute has past.

I have made a very minimal HTML/iframe setup and a screen cast in order for you to understand the issue, please note that there is no extension involved with this.

min-harvest-timer.html.txt
(note that I had to make the file .txt in order to upload)

I am currently using the Harvest iframe plugin on our web app and it works great.

I recently created a hybrid native mobile app where the responsive web app displays through the native application. I can get the iframe working and the "Sign In" to kick off to Harvest, but when the Harvest platform redirects to within the mobile app, it does not refresh with the timesheet.

Is there a workaround for this? Does Harvest disallow the iframe plugin to work on certain browsers?

The popup time tracking widget ask me to login harvest. But I don't find a way to login via Google account , while the normal harvestapp.com does.

Would it be possible to get an unminified / deobfuscated version of the platform.js file? Google will not accept a Chrome extension referencing the current platform.js file into the webstore.

In harvestapp.com online, if I set Start time in history and input dot (.) symbol in End Time field, with saving Harvest will automatically convert End Time value to Current Time value and stop timer.

So, it is easy to save last spent time without entering exact current time value.

Now in platform - it does not stop timer.
I liked previous functionality. Will it be fixed, or I can enter "End Time" value differently?
