PyWinAuto: Process not found

Question

I am trying to automate saving each tab in my open browser (Google Chrome). This code used to work before when it operated from the command prompt, but now I am making a GUI to use the functions and I get this error.

here is the function that uses Application.connect().

# saves all current tabs to clipboard and closes browser
    def save_and_close(self):
        global URLS

        # list that contains new URLS for storage
        updated_data = []

        # account for any internet-related disconnections
        try:
            app = Application(backend='uia').connect(path = self.browser_location)
            find_windows(title = "Google Chrome")

            while True:
                try:
                    keyboard.send_keys("{F6}^c")
                    time.sleep(1)
                    updated_data.append(clipboard.GetData())
                    time.sleep(3)
                    keyboard.send_keys("^w")
                    time.sleep(3)

                except KeyboardInterrupt:

                    keyboard.send_keys("^") # undo the keyboard control key
                    break 

            # updates database with new URLS
            with open("bmanager.json", "w") as dw:
                json.dump(updated_data, dw)

            # reloads database for next possible usage
            URLS = json.loads(open("bmanager.json").read())

        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            print ("[ERROR]: Client is not connected to the internet")  

Here is the error:

Process [browser location] not found!

Note that [browser location] is just a placeholder for the location of my browser's .exe file

Answer 1

I figured out that I have to register chrome using the location and pywinauto's register function before connecting to it.
