vBox end user automation
Posted: 10. Oct 2013, 08:35
Hi Experts,
I am trying to automate my application initialization and configuration happening in vBox.
Basically i want to automate the end user activity, here are the steps.
1. Import an appliance
2. Click "Start" from the Vbox manager --> a console window opens
3. In the console window, I want to provide input when there is a prompt and I want to verify any notification that comes in the screen.
Limitations:
I am using a python based automation tool (pYWinAuto), through which I cannot verify notifications or check if there is a prompt. Because the tool doens't identify the text in the console window.
Is there any API through which i can get the text that are running in the guest window?
Or
do you have any suggestion on how to automate this activity?
I want to run this automation in a nightly mode, please post your comments/suggestion.
Thanks !
