I'm trying to make PyCharm open the desmume app and a rom. I also want it to press a through the opening skippable cutscenes (it's a pokemon rom). Using pyautogui I've managed to open desmume, and a rom, but then I can't press the a button to get passed the opening cinematic. Using the pyautogui press function I can press the desired key in other apps (like chrome), but it doesn't have any effect on desmume.
'import pyautogui
import time
print("Hello world")
pyautogui.click(1239, 1070) #opening desmume
time.sleep(1)
pyautogui.click(1093, 250) #opening rom select
pyautogui.click(1135, 263) #opening rom
time.sleep(10) #waiting for rom to load
pyautogui.press("k") #pressing k, which if I do manually works as intended, but not if I use a program'
I had good success, automating using locateonscreen and locatecenteronscreen, combined with confidence key word

pause should stop the execution until something happens. But in my case where i have OCTAVE 5.1.0 on OS WINDOWS 10 is not doing its work properly. It does ignore all pause statements in script and execute the whole file.
I am running this program in my installed octave application in command window with GUI.
What may be the problem?
I have tried pause with function brackets
pause();and without function brackets pause; but still problem remains same.
%do something
plotData(X, y);
fprintf('Press enter to continue.');
pause;
%do something
plotData(X, y);
I except that script will first plot data and will stop execution till key is pressed to enable me to analyze data then after key press it would plot another plot with processed data.
But it just plot both plots in fast manner that i could not see it.
There are few bugs related to pause that have been introduced since version 5.1 and seem that recently have been fixed. It will be available in the next version. You can try alternative functions like kbhit or switch to a previous version.
i usually edit files in sublime text 2 that can also be edited and compiled with another program. As i have them already opened in sublimetext i do the following:
right click and choose "copy file path" (to clipboard)
Win+R to open windows run dialog
CTRL+V to paste the file path
hit enter to open the file with the associated program
i wonder some shortcut can be configured so it automatically starts the opened file with its associate program
thanks in advance
This can be done. I was in a very similar situation using Sublime as my editor of choice over the default SAS program editor. I was able to use the win32com.client.dynamic.Dispatch module to connect to SAS via OLE and pass text from Sublime directly to SAS using Sublime's build system to call my plugin. Making the connection was the easy part, it was the other processing that I had to do which was the time consuming part, but since you want to pass just a file name or the entire contents of your file, this should be a fairly straightforward plugin. Since I do not know what program you wish to open, here is the code that makes my implementation work. Maybe you caan glean something out of this.
def send_to_sas_via_ole(selected_code):
from win32com.client.dynamic import Dispatch
sasinstance = Dispatch("SAS.Application")
# submit the lines to sas
for selection in selected_code:
# for some reason cannot send as one big line to SAS, so split into
# multipe lines and send line by line
for line in selection.splitlines():
sasinstance.Submit(line)
and then the call in the run method of my plugin class:
class RunSasMakoCommand(sublime_plugin.TextCommand):
def run(self, edit):
try:
send_to_sas_via_ole(selected_code)
except Exception as e:
print "\n".join(selected_code)
print "Couldn't connect to SAS OLE"
print e
Good luck!
Open 'regedit.exe';
Navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\sublime_text.exe\shell\open\command
correct the path. Exit 'regedit.exe'
(optional) restart 'explorer.exe' or reboot your PC.
enjoy :p;
Right click on the file, press "Properties". You will see Opens with SomeProgram and then a change button. Click on the change button, and then look through the list for Sublime Text, if you can't find it, you can choose an application using the file explorer, from there you can navigate to C:\Program Files\Sublime Text 2 and choose sublime_text.exe
I would like to make it so that whenever I open a file in Sublime it will automatically do "Fold Level 2" Coding which is command shortcut Ctrl-K,Ctrl-2 (or CMD-K, CMD-2). I use both mac and pc.
I don't want to enter that shortcut everytime, instead I would like Sublime to automatically run that on opening a file. Please let me know if there a way to do that.
I think that the best solution to your problem is Buffer Scroll plugin. It remembers and restores a lot of things, folding included.
If you don't want to install that plugin, you can create your own:
Create new plugin Tools / New Plugin...
Insert code
import sublime, sublime_plugin
class Folding(sublime_plugin.EventListener):
def on_load(self, view):
view.run_command("fold_by_level", {"level": 2})
Save it in your User directory with the filename you prefer.
This will set folding level to 2, for every file you open.
I want a solution that does what's described in the vim wiki here, but that works on Chrome.
That is, I'm trying to avoid this:
Edit your HTML/CSS file.
Hit save in Vim.
CMD/CNTRL/ALT + TAB over to Firefox.
Press Ctrl-R in Firefox to refresh.
CMD/CNTRL/ALT + TAB back to Vim.
Do it again and again, wincing a little bit each time.
The vim wiki solution is for firefox, and other scripts and solutions I've found on the web are Mac only. But I'm on windows, and will often have vim open on the left half of the screen (editing html) and chrome open on the right half of the screen (displaying the file I'm editing).
A really "dumb" solution would work fine for me. That is, there wouldn't even need to be communication of the filename between vim and the browser. If I could just turn on a mode in vim, call it "auto-refresh", and now anytime I do a :w the currently active tab in chrome refreshes itself, without taking focus off the vim window. That would be perfect. Is it possible?
I don't know how to reload a give chrome page from shell, however, I agree with Chiel92 that if you need to see your changes when file changes, you can do that from browser.
See LiveReload, works with Windows & Mac (not for me then) and supports Safari & Chrome.
LiveReload will check your main page as well all css and javscript that it depends from, if any of those changes, it will reload it.
They seems to have launched a second version, however official site of version 2 it's offline and doesn't seem version 2 it's on github either. (Version 1 it's it's on github)
a solution that might work for you is in your html coding include the line in the head tag
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="30" />
this will reload the page every 30 seconds directly taking from
w3schools.com
now when you want to deploy it just remove that line
If you are working on mac, then a bit of apple script does the job.
putting this function in your vim configuration will let you automate the process of switching between windows and refreshing you described.
function! ReloadBrowser()
silent exe "!osascript -e 'tell app \"Firefox\" to activate\<cr>
\tell app \"System events\"\<cr> keystroke \"r\" using command down\<cr>
\end tell'"
silent exe "!osascript -e 'tell app \"Iterm2\" to activate'"
endfunction
Calling that function will change system focus to Firefox, hit CMD-R to refresh the page, then change focus back to Iterm2.
Change 'Firefox' and 'Iterm2' to fit your workflow.
You can type the function into the vim command prompt like :call ReloadBrowser() or trigger the call with a mapping like this:
nnoremap <leader>rl call ReloadBrowser()<cr>
To trigger the call any time you write the file you could use an autocommand.
augroup AutoReload
au!
autocmd BufWritePost *.filetype call ReloadBrowser()
augroup END
That could get a bit annoying though so if you really want that behavior I think it would be best to make it toggle-able like this:
let s:auto_reload = v:false
function! ToggleAutoReload()
if s:auto_reload
augroup AutoReload
au!
autocmd BufWritePost *.filetype call ReloadBrowser()
augroup END
else
augroup AutoReload
au!
augroup END
endif
let s:auto_reload = !s:auto_reload
endfunction
with that in place you can either manually trigger the reload with <leader>rl or use :call ToggleAutoReload() to enable automatic reloading when you save the file, and a second :call ToggleAutoReload() will disable it when you're done.
I've tried LiveReload in the past but it wasn't a very dependable solution: it was very buggy and unstable and the installation process was too involved for too little effect.
Since then, (more than a year) I've been using a small Chrome extension that automatically reloads the webpage every x seconds. It's not "smart" at all but it works well both for local files and hosted files. I've used it countless times without any side effects whatsoever.
That Solution on the Vim Wiki is possible because of MozREPL which allows an external process to interact with Firefox. From there it's quite trivial to write an autocmd that triggers a refresh on :w or on CursorHold. But AFAIK there's no such tool for Chrome/Chromium and they don't offer an external API. LiveReload is a brilliant but failed hack and I believe that you'll have to settle with the dumb solution if you must work with Chrome.

I just remembered a script that works very well on this Linux box but is a little bit limited on Mac OS X and doesn't seem to work on Windows. Essentially you register a window/tab with a part of it's name:
$ webrf setup-by-search test.html
then you simply do:
$ webrf refresh
to refresh the page.
I use WSL and two screens so for me this works. (as with every :write is a bit too much)
nmap <leader>t :silent !powershell.exe -command "Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Windows.Forms; [Windows.Forms.Cursor]::Position = \"-1290,50\"; Add-Type -MemberDefinition '[DllImport(\"user32.dll\")] public static extern void mouse_event(int flags, int dx, int dy, int cButtons, int info);' -Name U32 -Namespace W; [W.U32]::mouse_event(6,0,0,0,0); [Windows.Forms.Cursor]::Position = \"40,40\"; [W.U32]::mouse_event(6,0,0,0,0);"<CR><CR>
It basicly tells vim through a powershell command to have the mouse cursor go to:
position -1290, 50 ( which is where the refresh button of chrome is)
left mouse click
position 40,40 (which is where my vim is in full screen)
left mouse click
Step 3 and 4 is needed to refocus vim I tried to sent ALT-TAB but my vimrc disliked the % symbol.
On Windows OS you can utilize an AutoHotKey script that will automate that for a key press.
For example, the following script will bind Left Alt + r to switch to the browser window, send a Control + r(Refresh) and then get back to your previous window.
Replace Title_of_your_webpage with your browser's window title string after your page has loaded in it.
!r::
WinGet, winid, , Title_of_your_webpage
WinActivate, ahk_id %winid%
Send ^r
Send !{Tab}
Return
I've looked through various sources online and done a number of Google searches, but I can't seem to find any specific instructions as to how to work with the V8 --trace-* flags in Google Chrome. I've seen a few "You can do this as well in Chrome", but I haven't been able to find what I'm looking for, which is output like this: (snippets are near the near bottom of the post) Optomizing for V8.
I found reference that the data is logged to a file: Profiling Chromium with V8 and I've found that the file is likely named v8.log: (Lost that link) but I haven't found any clues as to how to generate that file, or where it is located. It didn't appear to be in the chrome directory or the user directory.
Apparently I need to enable .map files for chrome.dll as well, but I wasn't able to find anything to help me with that.
The reason I would prefer to use Chrome's V8 for this as opposed to building V8 and using a shell is because the JavaScript I would like to test makes use of DOM, which I do not believe would be included in the V8 shell. However if it is, that would be great to know, then I can rewrite the code to work sans-html file and test. But my guess is that V8 by itself is sans-DOM access, like node.js
So to sum things up;
Running Google Chrome Canary on Windows 7 ultimate x64
Shortcut target is "C:\Users\ArkahnX\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome SxS\Application\chrome.exe" --no-sandbox --js-flags="--trace-opt --trace-bailout --trace-deop" --user-data-dir=C:\chromeDebugProfile
Looking for whether this type of output can be logged from chrome
If so, where would the log be?
If not, what sort of output should I expect, and again, where could I find it?
Thank you for any assistance!
Amending with how I got the answer to work for me
Using the below answer, I installed python to it's default directory, and modified the script so it had the full path to chrome. From there I set file type associations to .py files to python and executed the script. Now every time I open Chrome Canary it will run that python script (at least until I restart my pc, then I'll have to run that script again)
The result is exactly what I was looking for!
On Windows stdout output is suppressed by the fact that chrome.exe is a GUI application. You need to flip Subsystem field in the PE header from IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_GUI to WINDOWS_SUBSYSTEM_WINDOWS_CUI to see what V8 outputs to stdout.
You can do it with the following (somewhat hackish) Python script:
import mmap
import ctypes
GUI = 2
CUI = 3
with open("chrome.exe", "r+b") as f:
map = mmap.mmap(f.fileno(), 1024, None, mmap.ACCESS_WRITE)
e_lfanew = (ctypes.c_uint.from_buffer(map, 30 * 2).value)
subsystem = ctypes.c_ushort.from_buffer(map, e_lfanew + 4 + 20 + (17 * 4))
if subsystem.value == GUI:
subsystem.value = CUI
print "patched: gui -> cui"
elif subsystem.value == CUI:
subsystem.value = GUI
print "patched: cui -> gui"
else:
print "unknown subsystem: %x" % (subsystem.value)
Close all Chrome instances and execute this script. When you restart chrome.exe you should see console window appear and you should be able to redirect stdout via >.
If your not keen on hacking the PE entry of chrome then there is alternative for windows.
Because the chrome app doesn't create a console stdout on windows all tracing in v8 (also d8 compiler) is sent to the OutputDebugString instead.
The OutputDebugString writes to a shared memory object that can be read by any other application.
