How to pass an image as argument into subroutine

Working in the IDE?

The script that brings the error is run in temp folder, which means it is not saved yet.

you say: image1 is the captured image having name i.png, which *exists* in the same folder where .py script resides.
question: what .py script?

> Working in the IDE?

Yes.

Strange... I've opened previously saved sikuli script from the disk i.e. I saved the script, shut down Sikuli, run it again an opened the script

.py file the sikuli script is saved in. In this folder, I have .html and .py files and set of related .png images.

ok, when working in IDE, the script is always in a temp folder, sorry for rubbish ;-)

So if you are sure, the image is in the .sikuli folder of the script you are running in IDE, then the image cannot be found within 3 seconds at the time the script is run.

Yes, I am.

But I do not understand why:
1. If I execute click("i.png") in the main script body, it works i.e. "i.png" is found (In the IDE the image is shown)
2. If I pass it to subroutine fill_form("999","i.png") it cannot be found (in the IDE the image is shown as well)
3. If I tried prepend getImagePath() ind the soubroutine, it still fails complaining that some temporary image cannot be found

I've no idea how to solve this problem

sounds all very strange.

This works for me in Sikuli X:

def myFind(image):
 find(image).highlight(2)

myFind("sikulilogo.png")

If you like, just zip the .sikuli folder and send it to my mail at https://launchpad.net/~raimund-hocke

Sent.

Thx, pf

ok, I did not have any problems, the images were found in the def().

So your problem really is, that the images are not found in the context of the clicks in the def().

I opened the .html in my browser, to have something to find and used the following modified script running it in slow motion:

Settings.MoveMouseDelay = 0.25

def enter_geco_return(acode,aimage):
 #click( )
 #type(acode)
 #click( )
 #click( )
 #click( )
 hover(aimage)
 #click( )
 #click( )

# book in return of Geco Tabak, branch Breclav Hypernova, seal code 999
enter_geco_return("999", "i.png")
enter_geco_return("998", "0405.png" )

exit()

I did the same and it works for me as well...

Finally, I've found the bug: the key problem was the misinterpretation of the stack trace info
bellow:

> org.sikuli.script.FindFailed: FindFailed: i.png can't be found.

This error does not mean that *file* i.png cannot be found, but that a match of image *itself* cannot be found,
because I used wrong image in preceeding click() command

Maybe a wording of the error above could be changed to something like this: "no match of i.png found"

Thx for your help and great tool, pf

That's good.

I will post a request bug, since I think, the feedback could be a little bit clearer.

with X 1.0rc2, the FindFailed concept is revised and an optional interaction with a prompt is added.
