How to run multiple Sikuli scripts in a row using a Batch file

Asked by Benjamin Bruffey

I am attempting to run 6+ scripts in a row using a batch file. Each script is approximately 580 lines long. Each scripts, individually, runs perfectly fine, but when I attempt to run them with a batch file, only one runs. So i've attempted to make a sikuli script that runs each of them by importing them., this main script is started with a batch file. I have only had success with the first 2 running then it stops at the end of the second script. Any ideas of what could possibly be going wrong?

This is my batch file:

@ECHO OFF
REM Runs both my project scripts

D:\sikuli\runIDE.cmd -r path_to_my.sikuli
ECHO Ran project 1
D:\sikuli\runIDE.cmd -r path_to_my.sikuli
ECHO Ran project 2

I don't have any more scripts set to run in this batch file as it only runs the first then quits.

Thanks

try this:

start /i /b /wait D:\sikuli\runIDE.cmd -r path_to_my.sikuli
ECHO Ran project 1
start /i /b /wait D:\sikuli\runIDE.cmd -r path_to_my.sikuli
ECHO Ran project 2

When I try it with the following command on Windows.

START /i /b /WAIT %SIKULI_IDE_PATH% -r %PATH_TO_.SIKULI%

I get the following error

Windows cannot find '-r'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

This error message only makes sense, if at time of executing this command the
%SIKULI_IDE_PATH%

is empty

How are you using thus command?

Running %SIKULI_IDE_PATH% -r %PATH_TO_.SIKULI% works perfectly. It only gives that error when prepended with START /i /b /WAIT

However, on investigating some more, as indicated on the thread here: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/237460 I was able to use this format as a workaround without any problems:
@CALL c:\SikuliX\runIDE.cmd -r c:\SikuliX\testprogram1.sikuli

Thanks again for the quick response.

Hi ,

I am able to execute the multiple sikuli scripts as a batch file which is below

@CALL c:\SikuliX\runIDE.cmd -r c:\SikuliX\testprogram1.sikuli
 @CALL c:\SikuliX\runIDE.cmd -r c:\SikuliX\testprogram2.sikuli

But I want to execute all the sikuli files which is existed in the folder in geraralised format. In the above example every time used the path of the sikuli file. I want to read the folder and execute all the sikuli which is existed in the folder.

Please guide me.

Thanks in advance
