This document describes how to use PyQtAuto to automate and test PySide6 applications. PyQtAuto works like Playwright for web browsers, but for Qt/PySide6 desktop applications.

Quick Start

1. Add PyQtAuto as a Development Dependency

In your project's pyproject.toml, add pyqtauto as a local source dependency:

[project]
dependencies = [
    "pyside6>=6.5.0",
]

[tool.uv.sources]
pyqtauto = { path = "/Users/guilhem/Documents/projects/github/pyqtauto" }

[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = [
    "pyqtauto",
]

Then install the dev dependencies:

uv sync --extra dev

2. Enable the Server in Your Application

Add the server import with a try/except to make it optional (recommended for production code):
