Which is my screen resolution?

[ajgb]

Hi everyone,

I have been developing a process in a virtual machine, which takes the screen resolution of my local machine. My local machine resolution is 1920x1080 BUT also, I had set the scale into 150%.

My process have many image recognition, which it is affected when the resolution change.

Do you know how can I set the scale parameter to my unattended robot? I have set the resolution in 1920x1080 but the image are not recognized due to the scale…

Thank you!!

When you create an Unattended Robot by default it is set to Login To Console: True. When it creates the RDP session I believe the virtual display adaptor will negotiate to 1024x768 or whatever the native resolution of the display adapter is. If you are using an interactive session Login To Console: False then it will either

1. The resolution configured in the Robot Settings (when making a new session)
2. Use the existing resolution if connecting to a pre-existing session.

The other consideration is you should ideally be developing in the resolution and scale that is as close to the production environment as possible to avoid any potential issues.

Please see some of my older comments around this topic, that should help shed some light for you.

Robot not working unless logged in to machine

A bit long winded with the different test scenarios and screenshots. If you are experiencing other outcomes from the below, would love to hear about your use case and could test it out within my own environment if you’re interested!. My expectation is if you are running a job that connects to a pre-existing session (Console:false) and disconnecting the local session while the process is still running, this will lock the session, this is a security feature of Windows/RDP. I’m not familiar enough…

Automation dependency on Screen Resolution / System settings

Hi Guys, My development environment (DEV Server) has screen resolution 1920X1080. The automation flows I am developing involves Citrix Automation via plugin. So the selectors are enabled, all working and I am not using image automation. Now I want to know the impact if I switch my development to a Laptop. My laptop has 1366X768 screen resolution and is a windows 10 system. The screen size is small as compared to my desktop. Now consider the new setup as me using my laptop, I remote connect to …
