Why on my mac the UI click are not working

On mac computers, you will need to allow the IDE to control their computer: Security & Privacy -> Accessibility -> Allow the apps below to control your computer and select the IDE you are working with

Can I run the tests on github actions

Yes, please check our workflow for the UI tests example project

Accept End User Agreement/privacy policy and disable consents

runIdeForUiTests {
    systemProperty("jb.privacy.policy.text", "<!--999.999-->")
    systemProperty("jb.consents.confirmation.enabled", "false")
}

If the commands have now been executed and a task is now started with xvfb, it will start normally and function properly!

Unfortunately, this cannot be implemented directly in Github Actions, as the commands (access on /root/...) cannot be executed. However, this can be implemented using a separate docker container. For an example, see CodeTester-IDEA.

Pass ide license

It is important to use license file generated with offline activation code. Get your offline activation code from jba and activate it in the Idea. Find idea.key file in configuration directory of activated ide and copy it to a new folder and then pass this folder as configuration directory to runIdeForUiTests task.

runIdeForUiTests {
    configDirectory file('/path/to/folder')
}

Or put the idea.key file to a default config directory build/idea-sandbox/config-uiTest

How can I switch off EAP Login

Since 2021.3 EAP version of paid ideas demand either login or license to run. For UI tests it is easier to use license:

• put license file(idea.key, clion.key...) to the config directory build/idea-sandbox/config-uiTest or you can specify it)
• run ide with property eap.require.license = true

runIdeForUiTests {
    systemProperty "eap.require.license", "true"
}

How to automatically trust opened projects ?

Since 2021.1 users must trust each opened project. For UI tests it might be helpful to automatically trust test projects:

runIdeForUiTests {
    systemProperty "idea.trust.all.projects", "true"
}

Video recording

This project contains usage example of test recording. It uses FedericoCarboni/setup-ffmpeg github action and com.automation-remarks:video-recorder-junit5 library with extension for JUnit5. Check video-recorder-java for more information.
