Please try it with this structure...

# --- using exception handling
# every not found in the try block will switch to the except block
try:
        find("path-to-image")
        pass # it is there
except FindFailed:
        pass # we miss it

Thanks for the fast reply!

How would i incorporate the click(image.png) into that structure?
And would this replace the exists(image.png) ?

Hi,

Just 2 comments about the proposed solution:

1. If you are using Sikuli 1.0.1, you might not be able to use "FindFailed" exception straight away (see bug#1216338). As a workaround, add the following line to your code:

import org.sikuli.script.FindFailed as FindFailed

2. To make your script run faster, use the approach offered by RaiMan to avoid unnecessary waiting for not existing imagesby using "0" parameter for "wait" and "exist" functions.

As a result your code might look something like this:

import org.sikuli.script.FindFailed as FindFailed

try:
        wait(image, 0)
        print ("Image %s found ) %(image)
except FindFailed:
        print ("Image %s NOT found)

Eugene

use

match = exists(image.png)
if match:
    click(match)

this code will search for the image, and if found, click on it's location immediately without searching twice.

(do not use exceptions to solve this. It is very bad practice.)
