How to get text extract text from Clipboard?

This should work:

text = Env.getClipboard()

Env method shows deprecated in my Java project. I use a Mac and my Java code in Eclipse looks like:
   s.doubleClick ("unit_200.png");
   s.type("c", Key.CMD);
   Thread.sleep(3000);
   String lineUnitPrice;
   lineUnitPrice = App.getClipboard();

A string on a Browser window is located but lineUnitPrice always empty or sometimes keep a value from previous runs. I've tried many other ways but still cannot get Clipboard values which I need for assertions

Thanks

Hello,
Try to replace s.type("c", Key.CMD)
by s.type("c", KeyModifier.CTRL)

Regards.

@obiwan
he is on Mac, so
s.type("c", Key.CMD)

is ok.

I guess a wait could help:

   s.doubleClick ("unit_200.png");
   s.wait(1);
   s.type("c", Key.CMD);
   s.wait(1);
   String lineUnitPrice;
   lineUnitPrice = App.getClipboard();

seems to be a typical situation where the GUI needs some time to get ready again.

Hi RaiMan

It looks like you are a real expert in Sikuli. I quite a few test cases while resolving several issues with your help. I used Selenium for several years in the past but see that we can use Sikuli for a set of Smoke tests. But we have several concerns if we can use at all after. Please, advise me what to do. So, these are our concerns:

1 We have several dozen web pages which we need to develop quick Smoke test suites
2 I have to cut few dozen images for clicking, navigation, verifications. For a whole thing I think I might have to have several hundreds images to use in my java code for all web pages. So, maintenance can be a potential costly thing
3 some but tins for example have slightly different style or size and in order to find images I had to use different images for pretty much the same thing
4 Browser window size (I use chrome for now ) is different sometimes we start tests and image locations failed to be found. Some of our pages use responsive design and it's not clear how and if this will work reliable on different monitors with different resolution , sizes, Mac, windows, Linux etc. from changing code We also plan to run eventually tests through CI using Jenkins on Mac but might soon switch to Linux

I've started to think that all of the above will not allow us to use Sikuli successfully and think if switching back to Selenium. Please, suggest what we can do. Generally speaking I'd like to know how to use Sikuli portability with different OSs, screen monitors

Thanks

Jeff

Hello.

RaiMan is not an "expert" in Sikuli, he develops it. ;)

To answer to your questions:

Selenium is a tool who's dedicated to the web page, we don't have this restriction in Sikuli.

Whatever the tool you will choose, you can't expect to it to update itself, so obviously the cost of the maintenance have to be take in count.

In Sikuli, you have a tool, when you click on a image, to adjust the similarity. Did you try it ?

Sikuli analyse the images so it's dependent of the resolution, but normally it isn't dependent of the OS.

Hope it's help.

Reagrds.
