WeChat / 微信 Bot Testing

App name: 微信 or WeChat | Process name: WeChat

See osascript-common.md for shared patterns.

Activate & Navigate

bash

# Activate WeChat
osascript -e 'tell application "微信" to activate'
sleep 1

# Search for a contact/bot (Cmd+F)
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "f" using command down
    delay 0.5
    keystroke "TestBot"
    delay 1
    key code 36  -- Enter to select
end tell
'
sleep 2

Send Message

bash

# After navigating to a chat, the input is focused
osascript -e '
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "Hello bot!"
    delay 0.3
    key code 36
end tell
'

Send Long Message (clipboard)

bash

osascript -e '
tell application "微信" to activate
delay 0.5
set the clipboard to "Please help me with this task..."
tell application "System Events"
    keystroke "v" using command down
    delay 0.3
    key code 36
end tell
'

Verify Response

bash

sleep 10
screencapture /tmp/wechat-bot-response.png

WeChat-Specific Notes

WeChat macOS app name can be 微信 or WeChat depending on system language. Try both:

bash

osascript -e 'tell application "微信" to activate' 2> /dev/null \
  || osascript -e 'tell application "WeChat" to activate'

WeChat uses Enter to send (not Cmd+Enter by default, but configurable)

For multi-line messages without sending, use Shift+Enter:

bash

osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to key code 36 using shift down'

Always use clipboard paste for CJK characters — keystroke mangles non-ASCII
