Can't get onChange event handler to run

(FindTXDevMenuRegion() is a method of class TestSikuli)

It looks like Java, what you are doing ;-)
and it seems you have set it up, as it should be.

But what is strange: the message comes from Jython:

 File "/Applications/Sikuli-IDE.app/Contents/Resources/Java/sikuli-script.jar/Lib/sikuli/Region.py", line 277, in targetChanged
TypeError: 'TestSikuli$1' object is not callable.

So it seems, you are mixing some things up:
scrpt = new SikuliScript();

Are you running Jython scripts from within Java?

Is ideMainMenuR a Jython Region or a Java Region object?

It seems that the change is detected on the Jython level and the callback to the Java level makes problems.

Hi RaiMan, thanks as always for a very prompt response.

'But what is strange: the message comes from Jython:'

- Yes I agree! I imagined that by using the java api I was short-circuiting all the Jython stuff, but apparently not(?)

'So it seems, you are mixing some things up:
scrpt = new SikuliScript();'

- My intention was to use java exclusively, and I don't understand why you highlight this fragment(?) In the javadoc
I see:
public SikuliScript()
             throws java.awt.AWTException

having method:
public void popup(java.lang.String message)

I'm also using method input (public java.lang.String input(java.lang.String msg) here and there.

'Are you running Jython scripts from within Java?'

- Not knowingly! (No)

'Is ideMainMenuR a Jython Region or a Java Region object?'

- Its all java...

public class TestSikuli {

    static App txDev;
    static Screen scrn;
    static Region ideR;
    static Region ideMainMenuR = Region.create(0,0,1000,22);
    static SikuliScript scrpt;
       ...

Again, really appreciate your assistance with this, thx Terry.

Just noticed I AM importing org.python.modules.time.Time.sleep - surely not relevant?

Just eliminated the python module, but I still get the originally reported problem.

--- scrpt = new SikuliScript();
Sorry, my fault. Mixed things up myself.
As long as you only use popup() and input(), this should not be a problem.
But you could use javax.swing.JOptionPane directly (nothing else is done in popup and input).

--- sleep
You can use scr.wait((double) number_of_seconds) (a Region method)

--- going to Jython
there seems to be one critical function:
reg = Region.create(other_region)
where other_region is of class Region

where the code denotes
 //TODO: determine if the caller is Jython

and then it jumps into Jython and comes back with a Region object, that was created in the Jython context. I am not really sure, what is happening there. I will make some tests myself and come back.

Meanwhile you might look for usages like
reg = Region.create(other_region)

OK I will see if I can effect some work-arounds, but most interested in your findings, thx Terry.

It seems to be a more general Problem with the callback structure of the observe feature.

I get the same error, with just a simple example.

I will try to find out the reason and come back tomorrow.

The above mentioned TODO

is really the problem. When I switched this of (it just returns the region), everything runs fine (at least in Java).

I will try to suggest a fix for that.

Meanwhile there is a workaround, by creating a sikuli-script.jar, that is only used with Java.
Come back if interested.

Hi RaiMan, thanks for all your efforts.

Yes, I am interested in the sikuli-script.jar for Java only - details please!

Terry.

Yes I will do it for you ;-)

Today I had other prio's. I'll come back tomorrow (your morning ;)

I will try it out asap and let you know - thanks V. much. Terry

[RaiMan] observer started!!

That should tell you everything!

Great job, many thanks. Terry.

PS. When will your change become part of an official release - any idea?

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

Thanks for the fix, RaiMan. I needed this too :)

Awesome! :D Works for me too :) I think it must be included in next release guys ;)

Thanks a lot RaiMan!
