[Robot-Framework][SikuliLibrary] Timeout Not Finding img

Libraries
1

Hi,

I’m wokring with:

Python (version : Python 3.10.4)
RobotFramework (version: 6.1.1)
robotframework-SikuliLibrary (version 2.0.3)
OS: Windows

I’m trying to make the hello world example : Sikuli Robot Framework Library | robotframework-SikuliLibrary.

I have an error :

com.github.rainmanwy.robotframework.sikulilib.exceptions.TimeoutException: Timeout happened, could not find P(1701437608400.png – not valid!) S: 0.7

I manage to understand that S is for “Similarty”. meaning that the program can find a 70% chance my image ?

Another issue I have is that I don’t understant why there is a need capture pics if I can get them. Currently all the script is picking up is the IDE with the script… not really interesting!

I have passed him my pic (in the folder the scripts creats and out)…

Nothing changes.

I have many “Sikuli_java_stdout_1701446696.1746387.txt” file with the same message :

WARNING: sun.reflect.Reflection.getCallerClass is not supported. This will impact performance.

Same message as when I run the command :

“java -jar SikuliLibrary.jar 1000”

my code :

Can I pass my program image and skip the capture?

How can I make the hello world work ?

Is there another documentation for installing the Lib

Thanks

Hi @TextSolver34761,

Try this:

*** Test Cases ***
Windows Notpad Hellow World
    Add Image Path    ${CURDIR}
    Open Windows Start Menu

FYI - Add Image Path

The error message seems to be saying that the file 1701437608400.png is not valid, probably that it couldn’t find it?

Using Add Image Path should help with that, if it still doesn’t work it could also be that the file format of the image is invalid?

Hope that helps,

Dave.

As you can see, the image captured by the program is a full page screenshot (and not my windows button).

I don’t understand why.

Thanks,

Hi @TextSolver34761,

Sikuli only looks in the directories that it’s told to look in by that keyword, it doesn’t seem to be mentioned in the documentation but you’ll see all the examples on the github page use this keyword before anything else.

Also as a tip, try to make the images you want to match as small as possible while still uniquely identifying the area.

for example this will give you a better match:
image

than this:
image

Hope that helps,

Dave.
