Error taking screenshots through an automated gallery run using a Python tool

We have created a workflow that uses a Python tool to open a different internal application we use, and to find images on the screen and enter certain commands, and then take screenshots of the result. This works correctly when we run it using the designer, aslong as we have prevsiouly opened the other software. However we we try to automate this run through the gallery, it fails to take any screenshots and seems to have issues with opening and interacting while automated.

 

Has anyone encountered an issue like this? Or have any advise? I can provide more info if needed.

Hi @wjsmall ,

 

When running the workflow on your designer, python opens the application on your desktop machine, whereas on the server, the application is opened locally on the server machine.

 

Best,
