While writing some Selenium test cases in Java, I found an non-interactable button that I need to press.
So why not press it with a 'Click on Found Image' action?
I'm currently trying to trigger by Shell script like this:
import java.io.*;
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("osascript -e 'tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine" to do script "86FA96C6-5DB4-489F-B1D0-F84A4CF4B857"'");
Unfortunately the macro never runs. What could be the issue and how to troubleshoot?
I don't know much anything about Java, but I suspect that it might have something to do with the quoting.
I would first try this:
"osascript -e 'tell application \"Keyboard Maestro Engine\" to do script \"86FA96C6-5DB4-489F-B1D0-F84A4CF4B857\"'"
and if that did not work I would try this:
"osascript -e 'tell application \'Keyboard Maestro Engine\' to do script \'86FA96C6-5DB4-489F-B1D0-F84A4CF4B857\''"
If that still didn't work, I would put the osascript in a separate file, and then call the file:
Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/path/to/osascript.sh");
However, I have to admit these are all guesses.
I think you're on to something with the quoting, although neither of those quote attempts worked. I'm using IntelliJ IDEA and it's escaping quotes with backslashes even when pasted in.
On a happy note, that last one did work, after I made the file executable of course.
MacOS Catalina then sent 2 permission requests to carry it out. But hey, now I have a working button. I wish I could do it with code alone though.
Have you tried one of the other quoting variants as proposed in the snippets for Ruby and Python?
Or the heredoc method, as in the Perl snippet:
