Introduction​

This week we introduced a new convenience method clickTextfieldNearestTo(label: string) which lets you click on a textfield with a label instead of a placeholder.

We also removed the convenience method dragTo as it was not working as intended.

There is a new option -ad --automations-description for initialising an AskUI project with npx askui@latest init. It lets you specify the name of the automations directory which was hardcoded to askui_example before.

Convenience Methods​

We had to remove dragTo() as it was not working as expected

We introduced the following method:

clickTextfieldNearestTo(label: string)​

Searches for an element of type textfield with a specific label nearest to it. If found, clicks it.

await aui.clickTextfieldNearestTo('E-Mail Address');

New Option -ad --automations-description for init​

When you run npx askui@latest init you always got a directory askui_example. This broke backwards compatibility with existing installations of AskUI.

Thus we introduced a new option when running askui init:

-ad, --automations-directory <value>  a name for the directory askui stores its configuration and workflows in. (default: "askui_example")

You can use it like this to store the AskUI automations in a directory askui-Workflows:

npx askui@latest init -ad askui-Workflows
