implicit wait in Sikuli

maxWait = 50 # seconds
start = time.time()
wait(some_image, maxWait)
imageWait = time.time()-start
if imageWait < maxWait: wait(maxWait - imageWait)

Could you please give me explanation ... I could not understand

@Sathyamoorthy:

U can use wait(some-image, max-wait)
It will wait for an image for upto the given time, if the image appears before the given time, it will proceed futher.

Thanks for the information. Let me try out it

@ nupur

that is what I do in my suggestion (line 3 ;-)
But if the image comes up earlier, the script will continue with your suggestion.

He wants to wait for the image, but also wait maxTime if the image is found earlier.

@Sathyamoorthy:
For someone who seems to script complex workflows, the snippet in comment #1 should be self explaining ;-)

@RaiMan: Thanks Man.
I am just started playing with Sikuli and python. That is reason i am expecting detailed explanation. Thanks for your help and support

Hi
wait(some_image, maxWait) will wait until image is found. if image is found then it will proceed to next step.

What about
imageWait = time.time()-start
if imageWait < maxWait: wait(maxWait - imageWait)

why we need to wait for Max time, if image is found? is there any thing specific?

--- if the required image is found with in wait time , then script should wait until the wait time gets complete.
this is what you asked - may be I missunderstood:
- You want to wait for the image for maxTime
- if image is found within maxTime (means earlier),
- the script should wait until total maxTime exceeds

What about
imageWait = time.time()-start # time before find starts
if imageWait < maxWait: # time to find shorter than maxWait
    wait(maxWait - imageWait) # if yes, wait the rest of time until maxWait exceeded

--- wait(some_image, maxWait) will wait until image is found. if image is found then it will proceed to next step.
yes, correct.
If this is what you need only: forget my suggestion and be happy ;-)

Hey Thanks Dude.
