AutoBotLibrary

AutoBotLibrary is a Python library designed to integrate with Robot Framework to enable seamless GUI automation. It builds upon PyAutoGUI to provide a comprehensive set of utilities for mouse control, keyboard interactions, dialog handling, and image-based UI automation.

Features

• Mouse control: movement, clicks, dragging, and scrolling.
• Keyboard control: typing, pressing keys, and key combinations.
• Dialog box handling: alerts, confirmations, prompts, and password inputs.
• Screen handling: resolution retrieval, screenshots, and image-based element location.
• Robot Framework integration for test automation.

Example Usage in Robot Framework

*** Test Cases ***
Mouse and Keyboard Automation
    # Move the mouse to coordinates (100, 200) over 1 second
    Move Mouse To    100    200    move_duration=1
    
    # Click at (100, 200)
    Click    x_cord=100    y_cord=200
    
    # Type the text "Hello, World!"
    Type Text    text=Hello, World!

Image-Based Automation
    # Find the location of an image on the screen
    ${location}=    Find On Screen    image_path=button.png
    
    # Wait until the image appears
    ${center}=    Wait Until Image Appears    image_path=button.png

Dialog Handling
    # Display an alert box
    ${response}=    Alert Box    alert_message=Task Complete!
    
    # Show a confirmation box
    VAR    @{list_of_buttons}    Yes     No
    ${confirmation}=    Confirm Box    confirm_message=Proceed?    button_labels=${list_of_buttons}

Example Usage in Python

from AutoBotLibrary import AutoBotLibrary

robot = AutoBotLibrary()

# Move the mouse to (200, 300)
robot.move_mouse_to(200, 300, move_duration=0.5)

# Take a screenshot
screenshot_path = robot.take_screenshot(filepath="screenshot.png")
print(f"Screenshot saved at: {screenshot_path}")

# Display a confirmation dialog box
response = robot.confirm_box(confirm_message="Do you want to continue?", button_labels=["Yes", "No"])
print(f"User selected: {response}")

# Wait until an image appears on the screen
location = robot.wait_until_image_appears("button.png", timeout=15)
print(f"Button found at: {location}")
