getBundlePath returns None when running unit tests from the command line

try

self.path = getBundlePath()

since the IDE testrun feature wraps a class around your code, that is instantiated at runtime and available in self.

Using the self.path option seems to cause an error that prevents the script from running:

[info] Sikuli vision engine loaded.
[info] Windows utilities loaded.
[info] VDictProxy loaded.
[error] null

The IDE shows this error:

Exception in thread "MainThread" Traceback (most recent call last):
File " ", line 6, in
File " ", line 14, in unitTests
NameError: name 'self' is not defined

Not declaring self before you start declaring functions for unit tests seems to work fine. For instance:

mystring = "My String"
def testIt(self):
 print self.mystring

Prints the value of mystring in the IDE and command line.

Something I noticed today is that I get the same behavior in the IDE if I have not previously run any standard scripts using the Run button or the Run drop down. So it appears that it may be related to running the script as unit tests instead of running as a standard sikuli script.

Outside the def()'s self. cannot be used in unittest, since it is not defined and makes IDE to hang. A unittest script should only contain def()'s. Running a unittest script in a normal IDE run should do nothing except reporting syntax errors.

If you need additional variables in your subsequent tests, you may define them in setUp() using self.variable=value and reference them using self.variable later on.

Be aware, that e.g. the normal import does not work as expected on the script level, you have to repeat every needed import in every def(), were the respective module features are needed.

So putting all together, you can do the following:

def setUp(self):
 self.x = "xxx"
 import os
 self.path = os.path.join(getBundlePath(), "script_subfolder")
 self.myJoin=os.path.join # stores a reference to a module function
 print "setup run"

def tearDown(self):
 print self.x
 print "tearDown run"

def testSomething(self):
 print "in test:", self.myJoin(self.path,"some_script.sikuli")
