Autoit >>Mouseclick ,controlclick not working in robot framework ,not able to click any part of screen

[dhingrachirag]

Hi

I just installed auto it library in robot framework and its installed properly and i am able to access all the keywords in framework. The problem what i faced is whenever i am trying to use any click option is not clicking or failing. Somehow i got lucky with mouseclick and its working but problem with this method is its able to point in that particular tab but not clicking.

So after several tries I downloaded official auto it package and i had written the script in scite in .au3 extension. The script worked absolutely fine .Mouseclick is able to point as well as click.

Below are the questions:

Q-I want to know why in robot framework we are not able to get the full functionality of keywords that is there already in auto it if we are able to access auto it keywords in robot framework ?
Q- What 's the workaround for this issue ?

@dhingrachirag there, I'll try to reproduce this issue next.

[dhingrachirag]

@lucyking - Did u reproduce this isuue ? I am struck and waiting for your response.

[lucyking]

@dhingrachirag I met some issue on Windows 10 OS setup.
Can you try using Python3.7.2 instead of Python -2.7.14 then have a try?

[dhingrachirag]

@lucyking - My whole setup is build on python 2 as it is the most stable version in robot framework.Many libraries just supports python 2. Will you please let me know in python 2 whats the issue ?

I don't want to change as it's big setup and i don want to change right now to python 3.Thanks in advance!!!

[lucyking]

@dhingrachirag so can you setup TeamViewer then I can remote access your PC for debug.
(There's no issue with py2 at present, I just wonder if it's too older.Official will NOT provide support for py2 sooner).

@lucyking -Just ping me when you are there.

• The reason is you giving invalid args. You should use as blow:

AutoItLibrary.MouseClick   \    376    32    1    300

• You can use robotframework-RIDE editor to keep the input valid, and refer to fx() usage easily by Ctrl+M:
  

• I found the Microfost Desktop App - Teams.exe is an embedd Web application. It's hard to auto test it with AutoIt, unless you hard coding (X, Y) coordinate as you do in the pure AutoIt script, which is poor of robustness.
  

• Suggest you use robotframework-Selenium2Library to interact with the Web version of Microsoft Teams and locate the element/button directly by web elements' id/name/xpath:
