Python/Selenium code to open an application and login ( GUI Automation)


Am working on a project where i need to gather information from different websites ( Internal to company) and also few information from an windows application developed in Java.

I was able to pull all the information from websites using Selenium/Python, now I have an Window application where i need to fetch some information. Since selenium is not supporting Window application am not able to continue with that. I tried using AutoIt but my application is developed on JAVA and autoit windows spy is not able to detect many buttons on the application.

Any suggestion/Idea based on your experience how to proceed further ? I have 80% of my information in websites which I have already scripted to pull only pending is this applications.


Solution

  • If the Java application is using DB (it almost certainly does) you can try getting the data from there directly instead of extracting it from the GUI.
