# X (Twitter) Video Post Posts a video with accompanying text to X. Uses Playwright for navigation and text entry, then switches entirely to macOS-use for file upload and posting. **Critical difference from LinkedIn**: You MUST close the Playwright browser connection before triggering the file upload, or the native dialog will not appear. ## Prerequisites - Chrome logged into X (Twitter) - Video file exists at an absolute path on disk - Post text prepared ## Step-by-Step Workflow ### Phase 1: Type Post Text (Playwright) 1. Navigate to X home: ``` browser_navigate → https://x.com/home ``` 2. Take a snapshot to find the composer 3. Click the "What is happening?!" text area to focus it 4. Type the post text into the composer ### Phase 2: Close Playwright (Critical!) 5. **Close Playwright browser connection:** ``` browser_close ``` This is **mandatory** — Playwright's CDP `fileChooserOpened` listener will intercept the file dialog event and prevent the native macOS dialog from appearing. The typed text will persist in Chrome after closing Playwright. ### Phase 3: Upload Video (macOS-use) 6. Get Chrome PID: ```bash pgrep -x "Google Chrome" ``` 7. Use `click_and_traverse` on the **media upload icon** (image/video icon in composer toolbar) - Grep traversal for media-related buttons or icons - It's typically an image icon in the bottom toolbar of the composer 8. Wait for native file dialog (AXSheet) to appear - Grep traversal for `AXSheet` to confirm 9. Press `Cmd+Shift+G` via `press_key_and_traverse` to open "Go to folder" 10. Type the absolute video file path via `type_and_traverse` 11. Press `Return` via `press_key_and_traverse` 12. Grep traversal for `"Open"` button (AXButton near bottom of AXSheet, y > 1500) 13. Click "Open" via `click_and_traverse` ### Phase 4: Wait for Upload & Post (macOS-use) 14. **Wait for video upload to complete** — X shows upload progress - Look for "Uploaded (100%)" or similar completion indicator - Large videos may take 30-60+ seconds - Periodically `refresh_traversal` and grep for upload status 15. Once upload complete, click **"Post"** button via `click_and_traverse` - Grep traversal for "Post" AXButton ## Troubleshooting - **File dialog doesn't appear**: Most likely Playwright is still connected. Ensure you called `browser_close` before clicking the media button with macOS-use. - **Text disappeared after browser_close**: This shouldn't happen — Chrome keeps the page state. If it does, re-type via macOS-use `type_and_traverse`. - **Upload progress stuck**: Large videos take time. Wait and check. If truly stuck, try re-selecting the file. - **"Post" button grayed out**: Video may still be processing. Wait for upload completion indicator. - **Can't find media button**: Traverse Chrome window and grep for image/photo/media related accessibility labels. The button is in the composer toolbar row.
