Overview

To do RPA in python When using pyautogui There are times when you want to perform tolerances, grayscale recognition, etc. At that time, it will be necessary to insert opencv.

However, I couldn't use it after all. I will post the error details and workarounds.

error contents

pos = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen(GetImage(imgname), region=inputregion) This code worked, but suddenly stopped working. pip opencv-python and pos = pyautogui.locateCenterOnScreen(GetImage(imgname), region=inputregion, grayscale=True) I tried to make it correspond to grayscale by rewriting.

environment

A list of python modules you are using.

conda install python
pip install pyautogui
pip install rope yapf black autopep8 pylint pytest
pip install tqdm
pip install pyperclip
pip install pyodbc
pip install cx_Oracle

I added opencv-python here.

The OS is Windows 10.

Conclusion

The _locateAll_opencv function has not been tested in python3.x and is still developing. I get an error such as "The index that slices the array must be an integer". I couldn't get involved because it's in the pyautogui module.

Workaround

Currently, either put up with 2.X or give up opencv. If neither is acceptable, you may need to give up grayscale and ambiguous image search.

If you can rewrite the _locateAll_opencv function itself, it would be helpful if you could pull request to Github.
