Using Sikuli with Cruise Control

Asked by Kelly Monroe

Is it possible to use Sikuli with Cruise Control setup on a remote machine where a user will not be logged in (i.e. there is no screen session going)?

Edit: It seems the terminology I am looking for is interactive desktop. Does Sikuli require this?

Thanks,
Kelly

Normally, a Sikuli script needs a real monitor on the machine it is running to realize the find() and click() actions.

So in your case, this will not work.

There are some reports about using VNC or special setups of X11, that allow to run scripts on "headless" machines. I cannot judge, whether this could help - I have no knowledge nor experience.

I've tried using Sikuli on Hudson. Hudson has a plugin that starts Xvnc automatically on UNIX machines so Sikuli can run in that vnc session. I think Cruise Control should have similar plugins.

Can you help with this problem?
