runIDE dies when trying to open a file

Asked by Greg Howell

In general, my sikuli works great, but there is one script in particular that will kill runIDE if I try to open it. I don't know what it is about this script that is causing it to fail, but I know the script works because I use it as an import into another script. It's just not a script that I would run alone (it's a bunch of utility functions). How do I troubleshoot this because there's no errors anywhere? I even tried to run runIDE.cmd from a windows shell so I would see the output, but it just silently quits. I suspect that it's a coding/python interpreter thing, but not sure how to find out where it is. I can open the .py file in IDLE just fine and edit it there.

has the contained .py the same name as the .sikuli?

Yes it does have the same .py name as the .sikuli folder. In fact the script was initially created with the IDE and saved that way. At one point I had included some "with" statements and then ran into that issue with it complaining about the "...will become a reserved keyword in Python" issue and I put in the "from __future__ import with_statement". But then I went back through and removed all those with statements and tried to make it as basic as possible (well relatively so) and still have problems.

Tell you what, if you don't mind, I'll attach the .sikuli folder here and let me know if you see anything.

Thanks

Raiman,

Thanks for the reply. I didn't have email access this weekend, so I'm just now getting back to you, but anyway, I wanted to send that stuff to you but I didn't have your email address. Looks like you started to type it in below, but it didn't make it. Please let me know if you'd still be willing to look at my code and I'll send it.

Thanks,
Greg

Guess you are using 1.0.1

The .sikuli contains a .png with the same name as the .sikuli and hence the .py

This is a bug:
a nameit.sikuli should not contain any other file named namit.xxx (besides .py and .html)

so rename the .png manually and in your code respectively.

Be aware of that bug, as long as you are using 1.0.1

Thank you Raimund. That was the ticket. I changed the filename and it reads into the IDE just fine now.
