SikuliX

can't import modules

Asked by Jose Pablo Jimenez Velez

I have followed the instructions in the documentation but no matter what I do I can't import a custom module

Currently I have a folder with 2 sikuli scripts
libBroser.sikuli
test.sikuli

libBrowser has in the first line: from sikuli import * and two methods

my test.sikuli file only has "import libBrowser"

At this poing I want to clarify that I'm running mac Lion, both files are in the same folder, I have tried adding the path to the sys.path, I have all the alternatives that I found to add the folder to the path.
Also I tested the path doing popup(str(sys.path)) in the script, the path does have the correct info, I even see the libBrowser in the path.

But every time I try to run the script I get this:

[error] Stopped
[error] An error occurs at line 8
[error] Error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "/var/folders/df/lwy_y8g15t921z7kmzq5cxqm0000gn/T/sikuli-tmp7184138209776326037.py", line 8, in
 import libBrowser
 File "/Applications/Sikuli-IDE.app/Contents/Resources/Java/sikuli-script.jar/Lib/sikuli/SikuliImporter.py", line 45, in load_module
 File "/Applications/Sikuli-IDE.app/Contents/Resources/Java/sikuli-script.jar/Lib/sikuli/SikuliImporter.py", line 25, in _load_module
ImportError: No module named libBrowser

Any ideas? am I missing something?

This works on my Mac Lion:

- both scripts.sikuli are in same folder (then no sys.path entry is needed)
- main.sikuli opened and run in Sikuli-IDE

# main.sikuli
import sub
sub.test()

#sub.sikuli
from sikuli import *
def test():
    popup("hello from sub")

BTW: sys.path has to contain the parent folder, where the to-be-imported.sikuli is located.

You might have a filename problem: the libBrowser.sikuli does not contain a libBrowser.py or vice versa, because you renamed the xxx.sikuli in the finder !?

Excellent! thanks for the quick response!

That was the problem, I did rename the file and I was not aware that there was an internal dependency.
I opened the file in sikuli IDE and did a "Save as" with the new name and it worked just fine.

This might be worth to have in the docs :P

Thanks again!
