I'm trying to move the mouse with Puppeteer while running it inside a docker container while recording with ffmpeg the screen.
The issue is that every time I record with ffmpeg the mouse cursor is showing in the recording always in the center of the screen.
In order to remove it I tried to move the mouse away with page.mouse.move() and page.mouse.click().
I tried also page.hover() and tried to use in all this cases each combination of headless true and false.
This is how I set up puppeteer (original code without headless option used):
browser = await puppeteer.connect({
'browserWSEndpoint': endpoint,
'defaultViewport': null
});
const pages = await browser.pages();
const page = pages[0];
await page.goto(url);
console.log("Making page active.");
await page.bringToFront();
I add that if I connect to the container with VNC Viewer I'm perfectly able to move the cursor manually.
Resolved by installing xdotool with the docker image and then on the script using:
console.log("Hiding mouse")
let xdotool = spawn("xdotool", [
'mousemove',
'0',
'0'
]);
