When .click() Doesn't Click

Your agent found the button. It called .click(). Nothing happened.

React dropzone? Ignored. File upload dialog? Security-blocked. Native macOS prompt? Invisible to CDP. You try AppleScript click at. Still nothing. You try setFileInputFiles. Works on some sites, silently fails on SPAs.

CGEvent doesn't have this problem. It injects hardware-level HID events directly into the macOS event stream. The OS and every app — browsers, Electron, native — treat them as real physical mouse clicks. Because at the system level, they are.

Zero dependencies. Python 3 stdlib only. One script.
