How to use OptionParser from Python module optparse

i try execute somethings like this:

sh sikuli-ide.sh -r test.sikuli -args -h

when i try execute this line, in command line, send me a error showed before.

i use ubuntu 10.10, and sikuli x rc1 version.

also try execute like this

java -jar sikuli-script.jar /home/jantogni/Test/sikuli/runOMC.sikuli -h

and show me the options menu, also show me this exception

--1. this will never work in IDE, since in IDE no args are given to the script. So your script can only from command line (use any defined method, that gives the args through to your script)

--2. OptionParser throws an exception, when an option is given, that is not defined by you (this is the case for -h, even if this yields a default action)
so you have to script like that:
from optparse import OptionParser
parser = OptionParser()
parser.add_option("-u", action="store_false", dest="option", default=True, help="Up system")
try:
 (options, args) = parser.parse_args()
except:
 print "option exception"
print sys.argv[1:]

in the except block you might implement corrective actions (or just exit(), will be silent again with rc2)

thanks very much,
now send me only this error:

Exception in thread "MainThread" Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/jantogni/Documentos/automatic_test/sikuli/Sikuli-X-1.0rc1-linux/Sikuli-IDE/sikuli-script.jar/Lib/sikuli/Sikuli.py", line 153, in exit
SystemExit: 0

how i can solve this problem?

not really an error (unnecessary Java exception when script ends), you have to live with it until rc2.

hi Raiman, i download the sikuli x 1.0rc2 and test this problem,

and now the exception showed is the next:

Exception in thread "MainThread" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
 at java.lang.String.substring(String.java:1937)
 at org.sikuli.script.ScriptRunner.getPyFrom(ScriptRunner.java:97)

regards

Is Sikuli-IDE running?

The above error happens, if sikuli-script.jar is run with a not exisiting .sikuli or another not supported filename.

How do you use sikuli-script.jar?

sikuli ide is not running.

i use sikuli-script.jar like this:

sudo java -jar sikuli-script.jar /home/user/test.sikuli -h

that show me a help display. but send me this error.

Only a question: why do you need sudo to run java? (has nothing to do with your problem though)

accidentally I just completed to install Ubuntu 10.10 64-Bit in VirtualBox on my MacPro :-))

Got Java 64-Bit (installed with UbuntuSoftwareCenter-CanonicalPartners) and OpenCV (using apt-get).

using sikuli-ide.sh: Sikuli-IDE starts up and works without problems (click actions not working in VirtualBox).

java -jar sikuli-script.jar test.sikuli (all in the Sikuli-IDE folder for this test) works without problems too.

So I think you have to revise your installation.

Update (if anyone reads the above comment):

configuration: Sikuli X-1.0rc2 (zipped 64Bit) on Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit (Java 64Bit) running in Virtual Box 4.02 on Mac OS X 10.6

--- click actions work,
but the mouse cursor is not moved to the click location (slow motion shows it yet with the blinking red circles).

i use sudo because habit of rc:
when i try (in the rc1) take a screenshot, the framework was closing give this problem:

Error: Illegal min or max specification!

Fatal error: No error trap defined!
Signal_termination_handler called with signal 5002

In the rc2 i haven't problem with this :P.

Sorry to say: your installation seems to have some odds - you should never be forced to use sudo to run the java command.

So if I understand right, RC2 is running.

If yes: Have fun.

yes, RC2 is running.

about the problem? any idea to solve?

why talk about problems with rc1 when we have rc2 now?

this exception is in RC2

Exception in thread "MainThread" java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1

 at org.sikuli.script.ScriptRunner.runPython(ScriptRunner.java:91)
 at org.sikuli.script.SikuliScript.main(SikuliScript.java:102)

in a command like this:

java -jar sikuli-script.jar /home/user/test.sikuli

test.sikuli does not exist or cannot be found with the path or does not contain a test.py

the problem is the next, i use option parse, and set in line command:

java -jar sikuli-script.jar /home/user/test.sikuli -h

and show me the option set in the /home/user/test.sikuli/test.py
