Keep side panel open when using scheduled tasks

Ui.Vision Feature Suggestions
2

We would love to add a switch to the Ui.Vision command line to allow Ui.Vision to run in the side panel directly. The issue is that the Chrome side panel API does not allow to programmatically open the side panel. It can only be opened by a user click or more exactly a “user gesture”.

So in Chrome and Edge, the command line can only run macros in the Ui.Vision IDE.

However, in Firefox the situation is different:

In Firefox, if the side panel was open when the browser is close, it opens automatically when the browser is restarted. So in Firefox the command line can run macros in the side panel:

  1. Open the browser and side panel once manually. Make sure the Ui.Vision side panel is open when Firefox is closed.

  2. Now, when when you reopen Firefox the Ui.Vision side panel is open and scheduled tasks macros will run in the side panel.
