pyautogui: Pyautogui doesn't seem to work on macOS Mojave
I recently updated to macOS Mojave (10.14 Beta). Commands like pyautogui.moveTo(1027,73), pyautogui.click(1027,73), etc. don’t seem to work at all. Neither any error messages are thrown nor do the method calls work. pyautogui worked perfectly on macOS High Sierra.

Not a pyautogui user, but on Mojave, there’s a new security feature where you must explicitly allow applications to use your mouse/keyboard. Have a look in Security Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility - you might have to allow your terminal application in the list.
@DimitriosLisenko You are right! This actually worked, personally I’m using iTerm so I had to add it in Accessibility as you described!
This works fine for me. You have to install another library pynput
from pynput.mouse import Listener, Controller, Button
mouse = Controller()
pyautogui.moveTo(x, y) mouse.click(Button.left, 2)
In MAC with Ventura and Visual Studio Code just Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility and allow Visual Studio Code to control your computer, it worked great for me
