Feature Request: Detect multiple Screens

[tionis]

A function to detect if there are multiple displays would be much appreciated. Maybe even the Orientation of these.

@tionis This is something I would want to implement. It would be hard for me to implement this as I don't use multi-displays. Although, I think .screenSize should give the size of both the screens.
Could you try .screenSize in a multi display env?

[danbulant]

it returns the complete size - like if you made a screenshot of all screens at once at just got the size from it

[tionis]

I can verify this. This is also in line with the behaviour I experienced with other automation libraries

[danbulant]

I think that's just how it was made. You would probably need to implement a different approach per system as I think win and linux will have a different system (in linux, you could probably just read xrandr config, don't know about windows)

[littledivy]

Could you confirm moveMouse on a multi display env? (Try setting negative values)
It's hard for me to support dual screen as I don't use them. Any PR is appreciated :)

[danbulant]

moveMouse works correctly, there's no need for negative values since the position is always positive.
I'm on Debian if that matters

[littledivy]

Alright. So I guess there's no problem with Dual screens supporting autopilot. Just detecting it is an issue.

[danbulant]

A nice think would be to have a method return array of screens (like with name, size etc)

[littledivy]

But we don't actually have a way to do that. The low level C libs used don't provide that information.

[danbulant]

I know you can get that info on linux from xrandr (this works almost on every distro)

Yes! I think we could do something similar as here

[littledivy]

So I've used xrandr to get the number of monitors (in Linux).
For Win and Mac, It returns 1.

pilot.getMonitors();

This will be available in the next release.

Here we go

Now, the challenge is to make it cross-platform. Any suggestions and PRs are welcomed.

[littledivy]

https://github.com/divy-work/autopilot-deno/releases/tag/v0.1.1 makes it cross-platform (hopefully). It's quite unstable and would require to cross-check from Windows and Mac users. Closing this issue as the feature is implemented
