• Confessions of a game dev...

  The main problem is with the tooling: most E2E tests (which is what you want) tools are targeted towards webdev. So they drive or simulate a webbrowser. For real UI you have to hope you have some library available like UI Automation or use something like Sikuli. Or whip up your own solution by using something like OpenCV to check things on the screen and whatever language you're using to send inputs. In any case... Source: 5 months ago

• Am i the only one thinking that desktop application automation is a bad idea

  Have you tried screenshot based automation with something like Sikuli? Instead of trying to find IDs or whatever it will look for elements based on what they look like or for text. You could also implement it in whatever language you use with OpenCV. Source: 12 months ago

• [request] OCR app that can search my screen for particular text

  Numerous Windows issues that were encountered while making the tutorials are fixed. If you develop cross-platform software, creating videos on all the supported platforms can be illuminating. (See also SikuliX.). Source: about 1 year ago

• Can godot be used for projects which affect your computer?

• Is there some AutoHotKey equivalents available to improve/ tweak my games?

  Aside from hotkeys if there I anything you need to repeatedly do http://sikulix.com/ might help. I used it at work to automate a good chunk of my monthly reporting. Source: over 1 year ago

• Automating Java applications with JavaScript?

  The first one is using image recognition frameworks to determine what are the widgets visible and their position in your UI. This is very generic and could generally be applied on every kind of UIs. For instance Sikulix is one them. The main drawback is that it is generally slow for the execution, inaccurate as your UI may be displayed with different displays and layouts (full screen, ...). More over if you...

• Is it possible to open snap popover with a shortcut key?

  I don't know of a script but Sikuli (free automation application) can be set up to look for the popover and click it. Source: over 1 year ago

• I am thinking of making a Linux app for automating simple tasks, just like a shell script but with a GUI (mockup attached.) Does anything like this exist already, and if not where should I ask for help in creating such an app?

  Check out SikuliX, it says it works in some Linux but not sure why it wouldn't work on some. I used it in windows before and it's a pretty neat visual way to automate things http://sikulix.com/. Source: almost 2 years ago

  Sikulix could be a good one to try. If it’s a web interface UI, then Selenium might be better. Source: about 2 years ago

• How to test file uploads with Selenium

  A possible workaround for that would be to call an external script that can handle that part, such as AutoIT, SikuliX or pywinauto. - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

• [TASK] Make me a script in SikuliX to automate some boring tasks $5 BTC

  The tasks I need it to do are simple enough, just need to press a button then wait some time and then look for another button on screen which could be in a few different places and look slightly different then click it. I can provide a VPS (to develop it in) along with the app to automate and show you what I want done via screenshare. SikuliX supports javascript and python, I'd prefer javascript but either is...
