[1.0.1] SikuliX-API (sikuli-java.jar): problem after upgrading from 0.10.2

What version do you use?

If you want to work with Sikuli, you have to start here for the current version 1.0.1 and use setup option 4 to get a valid sikuli-java.jar
http://www.sikuli.org/download.html

relevant information on using SikuliX 1.0.1 with Java:
https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX-API/wiki/Usage-in-Java-programming

If you already did that:

At the very beginning insert
Debug.setDebugLevel(3)

use an image, that surely is visible on the screen and change
s.setAutoWaitTimeout(2);

... so it crashes faster ;-)

and paste the complete output here.

only for completeness:
paste the getPattern function too

I choose the setup option as 3 during installlation of 1.0.1? Can I run setup again or I have to uninstall it and install again?

I am current outside, will try to use the Debug info and paste the getPatter(). However, there is little chance for bug in getPatter(). These are the scripts I developed before and runs well in sikuli-script-0.10.2

please empty the setup folder except sikuli-setup.jar and then run setup again with option 4.

send the setup log file silently to my mail at
https://launchpad.net/~raimund-hocke

another option of course is to try with RC3
http://www.sikuli.org/downloadrc3.html

I just tested and had no problems.

But by accident I found out, that when using a libs folder, that is not compatible to 1.0.1, I got the effect you are complaining about.

So be sure, that you use a libs folder, that is created either by setup or when running a Java program, that uses sikuli-java.jar.

You might check this by deleting the libs folder in the setup folder. It should be recreated and used at runtime.

Using the above mentioned Debug setting should tell you more about that.

Here comes the debug log:

and the dependency part in pom file for maven

  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.sikuli</groupId>
   <artifactId>sikuli-java</artifactId>
   <version>1.0.1</version>
   <scope>system</scope>
   <systemPath>\\D:\sikuliX\sikuli-java.jar</systemPath>
   <type>jar</type>
  </dependency>

and the definition of getPattern()

    private Pattern getPattern(String fileName) throws IOException {
        System.out.println(getClass());
        System.out.println(getClass().getResource(fileName));
        BufferedImage image = ImageIO.read(getClass().getResource(fileName));
        Pattern p = new Pattern(image);
        return p;
    }

see direct communication.

Seems that libs folder was not deleted before repeating the setup.

and will you look at the mail in night? I have to work full time so I can
only try the new suggestion in the night after my kid got sleep.so the
interaction between you and me seems too slow even we are in some time
zone( I am living in Stockholm )

by the way, I am developing using eclipse and maven. the OS is windows 8. I
can also use windows 7 but that one has installed sikuli before so I am not
sure the new installation will overwrite the old one or sikuli will got
strange behaviour if both version exist together.

-- I can only try the new suggestion in the night
no problem. I have lots of things to do in between too ;-)

-- Windows 8 or Windows 7 should not make any difference

-- I will now check again on my Win7-64 ...
.. and try to run your sample and again check the setup procedure with a fresh empty folder.

-- handling of the libs path on Windows when moving around sikuli stuff
since on Windows I did not find yet a solution to be able to avoid the path entry with the libs folder:
It is true, that Sikuli will try to recreate the libs folder at runtime, preferably in the folder, that contains the Sikuli jar files.
But the libs folder MUST be in the system path at runtime.
So if you have a solution, that uses sikuli-java.jar in different places or even packaged with other stuff on "Sikuli-fresh" systems, you should be aware, that currently on Windows I try to add the path to the registry (but this will only be activated after logout/login), if it is not on system path.
So to avoid this making problems, it is your responsibility to add the correct libs path to the environment before.
The libs handling will further be improved with 1.1

-- Sikuli and Maven
I myself am fully on Maven with the Sikuli development.
For version 1.1+ I plan to have sikuli-java.jar on MavenCentral

--- your question about search quality
The search was heavily improved with SikuliX, runs 3 - 5 times faster and and is far more precise.

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.
