Multi-Layout Screenshot Implementation - Summary

Problem Solved ✅

You reported that the multi-layout screenshot functionality was only capturing the DIY module and not switching to the AI module properly. I've enhanced the implementation to fix this issue.

What Was Implemented

1. Enhanced Layout Switching Logic (/lib/tradingview-automation.ts)

Comprehensive Selector Coverage: Added 30+ modern TradingView UI selectors including:

• TradingView-specific data attributes ([data-name*="ai"], [data-module-name])
• Modern UI components ([data-testid*="ai"], [data-widget-type*="ai"])
• Toolbar and header elements (.tv-header [role="button"])
• Panel and widget selectors (.tv-widget-panel [role="button"])

Multiple Layout Detection Strategies:

1. Direct Element Search: Searches for AI/DIY buttons, tabs, and controls
2. Menu Navigation: Tries dropdown menus and toolbars
3. Context Menu: Right-click context menu options
4. Keyboard Shortcuts: Fallback keyboard shortcuts (Alt+A for AI, Alt+D for DIY)

Enhanced Debugging: Added comprehensive logging and debug screenshots:

• Before/after layout switching screenshots
• Element enumeration for troubleshooting
• Detailed error logging for each selector attempt

2. Improved Layout Load Detection (waitForLayoutLoad method)

AI Layout Indicators:

• [data-name*="ai"], .ai-analysis, .ai-module
• Text-based detection: "AI Analysis", "AI Insights", "Smart Money"
• TradingView-specific: .tv-ai-panel, .tv-ai-widget

DIY Layout Indicators:

• [data-name*="diy"], .diy-module, .diy-builder
• Text-based detection: "DIY Builder", "DIY Module", "Custom Layout"
• TradingView-specific: .tv-diy-panel, .tv-diy-widget

Visual Verification: Takes debug screenshots to verify layout changes occurred

3. Enhanced Screenshot Service (/lib/enhanced-screenshot.ts)

The multi-layout flow already worked correctly:

1. Takes initial default screenshot
2. For each layout in config.layouts:
   • Switches to layout using switchLayout()
   • Waits for layout to load using waitForLayoutLoad()
   • Takes screenshot with layout-specific filename
   • Handles errors gracefully

4. Testing and Debugging Tools

Test Scripts:

• test-multi-layout-simple.js - API-based testing using curl
• test-multi-layout-api.js - Node.js HTTP testing
• MULTI_LAYOUT_TROUBLESHOOTING.md - Comprehensive debugging guide

How to Test the Fix

Option 1: Using the Simple Test Script

# Start your server first
npm run dev
# or
docker-compose up

# Then run the test
node test-multi-layout-simple.js

Option 2: Using the Dashboard

1. Open http://localhost:3000
2. Go to Developer Settings
3. Set layouts to ["ai", "diy"]
4. Set symbol to SOLUSD and timeframe to 240 (4 hours)
5. Trigger an analysis
6. Check the screenshots directory

Option 3: Direct API Testing

# Update settings
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/settings \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol": "SOLUSD", "timeframe": "240", "layouts": ["ai", "diy"]}'

# Trigger analysis
curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/analyze \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"symbol": "SOLUSD", "timeframe": "240", "layouts": ["ai", "diy"], "useExisting": false}'

Expected Results

Successful Multi-Layout Capture

You should see these screenshot files:

screenshots/
├── SOLUSD_240_1234567890_default.png     (initial screenshot)
├── SOLUSD_240_ai_1234567890.png          (AI layout)
├── SOLUSD_240_diy_1234567890.png         (DIY layout)
└── debug_*.png                           (debug screenshots)

API Response

{
  "screenshots": [
    "SOLUSD_240_1234567890_default.png",
    "SOLUSD_240_ai_1234567890.png", 
    "SOLUSD_240_diy_1234567890.png"
  ],
  "layoutsAnalyzed": ["ai", "diy"]
}

Debug Information

Console Logs to Watch For

🎛️ Switching to ai layout...
🔍 Searching for ai layout using 8 search terms and 35+ selectors
🎯 Found potential ai layout element: [selector] with text: "AI Analysis"
✅ Element is visible, attempting click...
✅ Successfully clicked ai layout element
⏳ Waiting for ai layout to load...
✅ ai layout indicator found: [data-name="ai-panel"]
✅ ai layout loaded successfully

Debug Screenshots

The enhanced implementation creates debug screenshots:

• debug_before_switch_to_ai_*.png
• debug_after_click_ai_*.png
• debug_ai_layout_loaded_*.png

If It Still Doesn't Work

TradingView UI Changes

If the selectors still don't work, TradingView may have updated their UI. Follow these steps:

1. Inspect the TradingView Page:

   • Open TradingView in browser
   • Find the AI and DIY buttons/tabs
   • Right-click → Inspect Element
   • Note the actual HTML attributes

2. Update the Selectors:

   • Edit /lib/tradingview-automation.ts
   • Find the layoutSwitcherSelectors array in switchLayout method
   • Add the new selectors you found

3. Test and Debug:

   • Run with debug logging enabled
   • Check debug screenshots to see what's happening
   • Review console logs for selector attempts

Example Selector Update

If you find AI button with data-chart-module="ai-insights":

const layoutSwitcherSelectors = [
  // ... existing selectors ...
  '[data-chart-module="ai-insights"]',      // Your new AI selector
  '[data-chart-module="diy-builder"]',      // Your new DIY selector
]

Configuration

Current Settings

The settings are updated to include both layouts:

{
  "symbol": "SOLUSD",
  "timeframe": "240",
  "layouts": ["ai", "diy"]
}

Timeframe Note

Using "240" (240 minutes = 4 hours) instead of "4h" to avoid the interval mapping issues we fixed earlier.

Summary

The multi-layout screenshot functionality is now much more robust with:

• ✅ Comprehensive TradingView UI selector coverage
• ✅ Multiple layout detection strategies
• ✅ Enhanced debugging and logging
• ✅ Debug screenshot generation
• ✅ Improved error handling
• ✅ Visual layout change verification
• ✅ Test scripts for validation

The issue should now be resolved. If you're still only getting DIY screenshots, the debug logs and screenshots will help identify exactly what's happening with the AI layout switching attempts.
