Screen Recording Permissions (Mac Only)
If you're on mac, you might see an error related to "screen capture permissions" when getting started. This means that the application invoking the `testdriverai` command does not have permission to capture.
This might be a little confusing at first. It's not testdriverai that needs the permissions, it's the terminal or IDE that's calling testdriverai that needs them. This is probably:
Mac Terminal
iTerm
VS Code
Or something similar
Enable Screen Capture Permissions for TestDriver
To enable screen capture permissions, do the following.
Open System Settings (or System Preferences on older versions).
Navigate to Privacy & Security > Screen Recording.
Find and enable permissions for Terminal (or any terminal-based app like iTerm2, if you're using it).
If the desired application is unavailable in the list, click on "+" symbol below, you will get a finder pop up, here find the app that you are currently using under Application section and click on open.
You may need to restart the terminal for the changes to take effect.
