A browser automation library that uses the SikuliX framework but doesn't grab the mouse.
This library uses QtWebEngine as its backbone for displaying webpages, therefore apart from SikuliX this project also has its own set of native components which need to be pre-installed. The library utilizes JNI to bridge between the native and JVM side.
The library works by providing its own sub-classes of Region, Match and Screen (Just prefixed with SKrypton) Each SKryptonScreen instance has its own virtual mouse, keyboard and clipboard. Therefore each can be controlled independently from each other and the desktop. To aid debugging, a virtual mouse indicator (Visibility can be toggled) has been added.
The name SKrypton comes from combining Script and Krypton, why Krypton? Because it's an element two Atomic Numbers away from Selenium another well-known browser automation tool named after an element. SKrypton can support control from Selenium if remote debug port is enabled.
Here's a small clip to see it in action
This is the file being showcased
- Requires Java JRE 8 installed
- SKrypton Native components (Installable Jar under Downloads, just double click and follow instructions)
- Windows 64-bit
- Linux 64-bit
- I don't own a Mac, so no builds for it yet sorry.
