Mouse not working on OSX?

[shirshak55]

In OSX it is not giving error but also doing nothing however finding image on screen does give correct pixel. Is it some sort of permission issue?
Code

  console.log(await mouse.move(right(500)))
  console.log(await mouse.move(right(500)))

doesn't move mouse but gives the following result.

Mouse {
  native: NativeAdapter {
    clipboard: ClipboardAction {},
    keyboard: KeyboardAction {},
    mouse: MouseAction {}
  },
  config: { autoDelayMs: 100, mouseSpeed: 1000 }
}
Mouse {
  native: NativeAdapter {
    clipboard: ClipboardAction {},
    keyboard: KeyboardAction {},
    mouse: MouseAction {}
  },
  config: { autoDelayMs: 100, mouseSpeed: 1000 }
}

Hi @shirshak55,

you're right, mouse / keyboard access on macOS requires accessibility permissions.
If an application wants to use accessibility features, a permission pop-up should be shown.
If not, you could try to manually add the application you're running the script from.

Settings -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility -> Add...

You could add e.g. iTerm2 to the list of applications.

@s1hofmann hey there. I don't see cursor moving but sure it moves invisibly is there way to make movement visible just so we know where mouse is before doing mouse.leftClick() ?

Hi @shirshak55,

how are you connected to your system?
I can't reproduce this behaviour on my machine.
However, I do know that this behaviour occurs when working in a VM.
