Having trouble getting robot.Window.isAxEnabled() to succeed in Mac. Any suggestions?

Use robot.Window.isAxEnabled(true) (the true part is important). That should pop up the dialog, prompting to grant access. Note that if you have previously denied access, the dialog may not pop up, in which case you should go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Accessability, unlock the window, and delete (minus button) the app in question from the list so that it can pop a fresh dialog next time.

Also note that depending on how exactly you are using robot-js, it may not be the Chrome app that you need to grant access. For example, when launching robot-js via node from the command-line, you may see the prompt mentioning your terminal window as the app requesting access.

Closing the issue, since it was for an old project. But thank you for the suggestion @p120ph37. This can help others running into this issue.
