macOS: Screencapture XModule Still Shows “Not Installed” After Installing XModules

Ui.Vision Bug Reports
1

I’m running into an issue with UI Vision where the screencapture feature still shows as “not downloaded,” even though I’ve installed the XModules.

Here’s what I’ve tried:

  • Downloaded and installed XModules from the official site

  • Restarted system and it is Desktop Automation Mode.

  • Verified installation path and permissions

System details:

  • OS: MacOS Sequio

  • UI Vision version: 9.5.3

Has anyone else faced this issue? Would love to hear if there’s a workaround or fix.

Thanks in advance!

Any update on this? Any solution that could help us resolve the issue? Does it have something to do with the latest MacOS - Sequio?

I think it is a permission issue. As a first test, can you please post a screenshot of the Ui.Vision XModule page?

Thank you. Please find the attached screenshots. No matter how many times I am installing I still see the ScreenCapture XModule as Not Installed. @admin let me know if there is any other additional details needed.

Hello, thanks for reporting this issue. We confirmed this installation issue for Sonoma, Sequoia and Tahoe, and added this bug to our todo list.

Workaround: Luckily almost everything works fine without this specific xmodule. As the name suggests, it is responsible for helping the user taking desktop screenshots for the use with XClick, XMove etc commands. So if you plan to use Ui.Vision for web automation, you can safely ignore the issue, as this xmodule is not needed for web automation at all.

If you plan to do desktop automation: The (only) challenge is to create the input screenshot, everything else works just fine. Now, to create the input image(s), please use this approach:

  • Create a XClick command
  • As input image enter the name of any existing image file in the “Visual” tab. We need this only to open the image viewer, which we then use to create the real input image. In the video below it is the “canvas_wyoming…” image.
  • Because the selected image is not on your desktop add @0.10.10.10.1 as confidence value. With such a low value, anything is “found” :grinning:
  • Click “Find” → This opens the image viewer!
  • Now.. click “Show original size”
  • Click “Select image” → this allows you to select the image you want to use.
  • Give it a name (e. g. “cu1_dpi_192” in the video below) and press “Confirm”
  • The new (your) image is now available in the Visual tab and you can use it.

@admin Thank you for the work around. Will you let us know once the issue gets resolved on your side?
