aw-server-rust gives 404 when run from .app on macOS

[mpeteuil]

• I am on the latest ActivityWatch version.

• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.

• OS version and name: MacOS Mojave 10.14.6

• ActivityWatch version: 0.9.2

Describe the bug

Switching on aw-server-rust and turning off aw-server seems to result in some of the dashboard (WebUI) functionality missing. I have verified that aw-server-rust is running since http://localhost:5600/api/0/buckets/ actually returns what you would expect when it's on.

To Reproduce

1. Download the latest ActivityWatch for macOS (https://github.com/ActivityWatch/activitywatch/releases/download/v0.9.2/activitywatch-v0.9.2-macos-x86_64.dmg)
2. Install by copying the .app to the Applications directory
3. Open ActivityWatch (doing the Security & Privacy preferences dance to open it)
4. Grant ActivityWatch required permissions under Accessibility and also under Automation (System Events).
5. Open the WebUI by going to http://localhost:5600
6. Disable aw-server by opening the tray icon > modules and clicking aw-server.
7. Enable aw-server-rust by opening the tray icon > modules and clicking aw-server-rust.
8. Reload the WebUI at http://localhost:5600 and get a 404 json reponse {"reason":"Resource was not found.","status":404}

Expected behavior

The expectation is that reloading the WebUI after switching to aw-server-rust in step 8 would give the same result as the aw-server running in step 5.

Documentation

Here's a bit from the aw-server-rust logs:

The No matching routes for OPTIONS message is most of the log file as you might expect with it being a heartbeat.

Additional context

If there's more that could be helpful let me know and I'll add it.

Thanks for the descriptive report!
The issue can be seen in the log, seems like we don't put aw-webui in the directory which aw-server-rust looks for it on macOS. Definitely needs to be fixed!

@mpeteuil did you try a hard refresh to the page? I had the same issue on Linux and that fixed it for me

[mpeteuil]

Thanks for the suggestion @nicolae-stroncea, unfortunately refreshing the page does not resolve the issue. This seems to be a routing problem.

@mpeteuil It has now been fixed, the changes will be in the next release (v0.10)
