chrome.debugger.sendCommand() Input.dispatchMouseEvent error on MV3-CodePudding

I'm struggling with this for hours now..

I'm currently writing a Chrome Extensions, its goal is to automate click on a website. Since the website is checking for the isTrusted property, I have to emulate the click from chrome.debugger (Or at least, that the only way I found).

I have actually no one, but two problems.

1st one: If I set opts.x / opts.y "dynamically", it results in this error: Uncaught (in promise) Error: {"code":-32602,"data":"Failed to deserialize params.x - BINDINGS: mandatory field missing at position 55","message":"Invalid parameters"}

2nd one: Tried putting the value directly, it's working, but it is not clicking on the provided coordinates, it's actually clicking lower.

This is my code:

background.js

chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener(function(msg, sender, sendResponse) {
    if (msg.text == "click that button please") {
        let infos = []
        chrome.debugger.attach({tabId: sender.tab.id}, "1.2", function() {
            let clicked  = false
            
            let x = Math.floor(msg.button.offsetLeft   msg.button.offsetWidth / 2)
            let y = Math.floor(msg.button.offsetTop   msg.button.offsetHeight / 2)

            opts = {type: "mousePressed", button: "left", x: x, y: y, clickCount: 1}

            chrome.debugger.sendCommand({tabId: sender.tab.id}, "Input.dispatchMouseEvent", opts)
                .then((e) => {
                    infos.push(e)
                });
    
            opts.type = "mouseReleased"
   
            chrome.debugger.sendCommand({tabId: sender.tab.id}, "Input.dispatchMouseEvent", opts)
               .then((e) => {
                   infos.push(e)
               });
        })
        sendResponse({clicked: infos});
    } else {
        sendResponse({error: 404});
    }
    return true;
});

content.js


var buttons = {
    "market": "#app > div > div.mt-3 > div.d-flex.justify-content-between.align-items-baseline > div:nth-child(2) > button"
    }
}
!async function() {
    window.onclick = function(e) {
        console.log(e.target, e)
    }

    let target = document.querySelector(buttons['market']); // Working
    console.log(target);

    chrome.runtime.sendMessage({text: "click that button please", button: target})
        .then((result) => {
            console.log('Did it clicked?', result); // result = []
        });
}();

CodePudding user response：

You can't send DOM elements via messages. It's not serializable, so an empty object arrives and your formula results in a NaN, i.e. not a number.

Solution: send an object/array with the element's coordinates.

Your use of offsetXXX props is incorrect, AFAICT, as the documentation for dispatchMouseEvent says x/y are relative to the viewport.

Solution: getBoundingClientRect().

const bb = elem.getBoundingClientRect();
chrome.runtime.sendMessage({x: bb.left, y: bb.top});

P.S. An alternative solution is to replace EventTarget.prototype.addEventListener or onclick setter of Document.prototype in the MAIN world of the page, so that your listener will call the site's listener passing a Proxy(event, handler) where handler returns true for isTrusted.
