wait(IMAGE, FOREVER) crashes in 0.10.1

Asked by Luca Somaini

I’m using windows Vista SP2 with Sikuli 0.10.1

while True:
   wait(IMAGE, FOREVER)
   popup(“Image found!”)

At beginning when I display the image on the screen, the popup message is visible. But after some hours the image was not visible (so the program was holding on waiting), the task Sikuli-IDE.exe crashed without any error message (It disappeard from the task manager)

Thank you very much for the help!

There still seem to be some problems with long running scripts (https://bugs.launchpad.net/sikuli/+bug/575585).

This seems to be caused by a steady increase of memory consumption.

You can try to restrict the find operation to a smaller region if possible or implement your own timing to reduce the find operations:
while True:
   if exists(IMAGE, 0) # only one try
      popup(“Image found!”)
   wait(10) # e.g. only every 10 seconds

Another possibility could be to try out the observer feature.

The reduction of the find operation to a smaller region seems to solve my problem as the memory lasts for my actual testing time. I suppose that with region reduction the Sikuli program will still crash after a longer running time.

Thank you very much!
