@pk_sinha_1997_twitter I was guessing you might have. I haven't actually used robotjs, or many other native modules, but... looking at the releases page it looks like it might only have prebuilt binaries for 32bit Windows, and only Node v4.6.x to v5.9.x
(I'm guessing it went thru the whole build process, not just had some weird dependency that it failed on for some reason)
like as it works (keyTap, typeString) etc, on native machine, but when that machine is accessed remotely, it fails
any idea?
can anyone tell me why?
Using protractor as my e2e test framework.
I am following this approach. https://github.com/octalmage/robotjs/issues/170#issuecomment-246714781
It does the necessary task but gives async timeout error, due to which my test fails
I can try shortcut
Alt+Space -> M -> Arrow Key, but that's quite inefficient IMO. I actually don't know how much shoudl arrow key be tapped.
If you only need Windows support, you could try https://www.npmjs.com/package/winctl
@_eitatio_twitter There's win.dimensions() @pk_sinha_1997_twitter and win.move/moveRelative

(disclaimer: haven't tried it myself)
?
@pk_sinha_1997_twitter I don't think that's within the scope of RobotJS, but you might be interested in TagUI, TamperMonkey (perhaps with an API thru HTTP with a webserver in Node.js if you need to control it from Node.js), or testing automation systems/platforms (of which there are quite a few)
With a tampermonkey script in the browser, and a webserver in nodejs, you could definitely control a web application from a robot.js script (i.e. nodejs)
Any help is appreciated🙂
Does anyone know of a good approach to selecting elements by automationID? I am also looking to interact with a button that requires a "hover-over" The application is a Windows WPF using Telerik.
I have been playing around with windows Automation but it is awfully cumbersome.
@octalmage Thanks you. For creating robotjs.
I needed this like a couple years ago and tried making it myself, but I couldn't find libraries or clues on how to start. I figured X11 was the way but didn't get far enough to figure it out. There was a file or 2 that keep popping out in C or C++ (probably were wiimote, GetCursorPos, and like really hard to find files). I bookmarked all the parts I could find but after some years it is sorta got lost in my bookmark mess (I will finally organize). Also, reading code can be overwhelming, especially when I don't know what I am looking for.
Can you give some insight how you built this? A youtube video would be cool.
X11 I have to guess is the big part in this. I notice VS code involved, what is that about?--I am guessing for C++ libraries for windows. (getcursorPos?)

Is it possible to hide the mouse using robotjs, not just change its position?
i try to use taiko 's click but i have faced some problems
Did anyone ever manage to solve moving mouse inside games aka locked cursor
Is there some way in robotjs (or another nodejs package) to (preferably temporarily) redirect/switch focus to a non focused application? e.g. allowing robotjs to pause/play media through a key shortcut that is not global and not currently focused. Another example would be to switch microphone on/off in a conference call.
Is there anyone who can help?
