Deploy pyautogui on Heroku #632

Open AsmitaHari opened 3 years ago

AsmitaHari commented 3 years ago

Hi,

pyautogui works great on my windows local machine. I am trying to deploy to Heroku. The application I am trying to implement is for users with disabilities. I'm getting the following error Xlib. error.DisplayConnectionError: Can't connect to display ":0": Is there a way to fix it? Please help.

Thank you!!

PyAutoGUI does not work on systems that are headless. Heroku servers are headless.

Then what will the alternative way to take screenshot? I was deploying my project in pythonanywhere which is also saying Display:0 error.

AFAIK, there is no way to take screenshots on headless systems. Maybe if you Googled harder than I did, you may find a hacky solution.

No, i did not get solution. Actually, you can not use pyautogui in heroku because heroku is a headless server. And pyautogui is not supported of headless server.

Yeah I did some research there really isn't an option to get heroku to accept pyautogui maybe you can distribute flash drives?

I'm thinking use watchdog to verify changes in a folder, kind heroku can host download file and then the bot starts when this file get in local sys
