AutoCitrixWeb

Some automations to help fix some crappy technology.

e.g.

• Auto login to Citrix app store
• Auto skip the pointless "security" check
• Download and launch the ICA apps with retries until the app opens

Usages

1. List your available apps

poetry run python ./main.py list-apps

Process finished with exit code 0

2. Launch app with retries

e.g.

poetry run python ./main.py start --app-name="Remote Desktop Manager"

More options:

poetry run python ./main.py start --help

Usage: main.py start [OPTIONS]

Options:
  --app-name TEXT        The app name to start
  --retry INTEGER        Retry times. 0 to disable retry
  --retry-delay INTEGER  Retry delay in seconds
  --help                 Show this message and exit.

3. Debug mode

Debug mode will disable the headless on browser, so that you can see what's happening.

e.g.

poetry run python ./main.py --debug list-apps

Limitations

• Only tested on Windows
• You may need to write your own check rules for the retry to work. You may use the existing _check_rdm() as an example.
