SikuliX

Since command line execution - Sikuli IDE is no more accessible

Asked by vikramsjn

Yesterday, I tried sikuli script execution from the command line.
The commands worked just fine.

But surprisingly since them on selecting Sikuli IDE shortcuts, the IDE does not appear.

The commands I tried were
1. E:\calculator.sikuli> "d:Program Files\Sikuli X\Sikuli-IDE.exe" -r e:\calculator.sikuli
2. E:\calculator.sikuli>java -jar "%SIKULI_HOME%\sikuli-script.jar" E:\calculator.sikuli

On selecting either of Sikuli IDE or Sikuli EDE.exe javaw.exe starts but the IDE is not presented.

The above two command line commands are still working.

How do I get the Sikuli IDE to appear again?

Use Sikuli-IDE-w.bat from the Sikuli X folder without any parameters.

I'm having the same problem: I was calling sikuli from the cmd, as per mikhailo's blog, and trying to make it run integrated with robot and jybot. That was yesterday.

Today I cannot display the sikuli IDE. I have tried to use the Sikuli-IDE-w.bat (actually that is the one I always use, because my system is Win7 x64, and I also have java x64 utilities). Also tried to use the .exe and the other .bat.

Where could the error be, in order to display the IDE again?

Might be, that when using the exe from command line, it makes something with the session save.

try this (based on faq 1766)

delete the registry branch:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\org\sikuli\ide\

before starting the IDE again preferably with Sikuli-IDE-w.bat

... and download the latest rc3 from as mentioned in the above faq

For now just deleting the registry branch has fixed the issue.
But certainly will download the latest version soon (although I have the RC3 maltipoo)

Thanks for the prompt response RaiMan.

In this latest build this startup problem, you had, is already fixed.
