FAQPage Schema

How do I automate Electron desktop apps for testing?▼

Automate Electron desktop apps by connecting agent-browser to the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to drive UI interactions. This allows you to snapshot elements, click, fill forms, and validate application flows across multiple windows.

Can I use CDP to control multiple webviews in an Electron app?▼

Yes, you can use CDP to control multiple webviews in an Electron app. By attaching agent-browser to the remote debugging port, you can manage multiple windows, snapshot UI elements, and interact with them via element references.

What is needed to start automating Slack or VS Code with agent-browser?▼

To start automating Slack or VS Code, you must launch the Electron application with remote debugging enabled. Once the CDP port is exposed, you can attach agent-browser to begin automating common desktop workflows and interactions.

Does automating an Electron app require remote debugging enabled?▼

Yes, automating an Electron app requires launching the target application with remote debugging enabled. This exposes the Chrome DevTools Protocol port that agent-browser connects to in order to snapshot, click, fill, and navigate the UI.

What desktop workflows can I automate with the Chrome DevTools Protocol?▼

Using the Chrome DevTools Protocol, you can automate desktop workflows such as opening menus, filling forms, taking screenshots, and validating application flows within Electron apps like Discord, Slack, and VS Code.

Are there limitations when testing Electron apps via CDP and agent-browser?▼

Testing Electron apps via CDP and agent-browser is limited to applications that support remote debugging. Automation relies on connecting to the exposed CDP port to drive UI interactions, meaning apps without this enabled cannot be controlled.
