Asked by Shivakumar

I trying to use the while command to test, as i used in sikuli IDE it is working.
But in the eclipse the command used is as follows:
while (region.find(pattern).inside().find("C:\\startbutton.png")){

   }
where as the return type of (region.find(pattern).inside().find("C:\\startbutton.png")) is Match type but while support only for boolean, how to use while loop in eclipse for java.

As far as I remember, I saw similar topic recently....
There was advised to use region.exists(), not region.find() .
In Sikuli IDE I could use it in code like this:

while not(back_region.exists(back_image)):
                x = random.randint(0,max_x)
                y = random.randint(0,max_y)
                ....

I'm not that familiar with Java, but you can check what region.exists() returns.

Not only region.exist(), the region.find is working in the sikuli IDE, but it is not working in the eclipse for the lang java....

Sikuli IDE is Python language

Your Eclipse code looks like Java.

so you have to use something like:

while (null != region.find(pattern).inside().find("C:\\startbutton.png")) {
}

since java is more strict about conditions. In Python more stuff is accepted as being True and False (it is a scripting language ;-).
