( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I played recently with Win32::GuiTest. A neat module by Ernesto Guisado, already mentioned by monks. Great for sending random keystrokes and mouse clicks to your application. It does not offer, however, any help with learning the mouse moves or clicks (neither do I :-).

The script below is a demo monkey test, that beats on the Windows Calculator app.

When you start this kind of script on your machine, you may have a problem: it takes over your mouse cursor when sending the mouse clicks. If you programmed it for an hour's worth of clicks, started it, and then you changed your mind, how would you stop it?

I kludged a solution based on the Term::ReadKey module, which I wrapped in my ReadKeypress module, below. The script frequently checks whether you pressed the Esc key, and to do that, it activates the comand window from which you launched the script, and calls the nonblocking ReadKeypress::escape().

If anyone knows of a more elegant solution for this problem, please let me know.

Anyway, here goes the demo

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
