Hi Raiman,

  Thanks for your reply.

I tried to use both the following one by one in verify_operations.txt:

Library calc.Calculator WITH NAME Calculator
Library C:/Users/symbol/Desktop/Projects/Sikuli Projects/calc.sikuli/calc.py

but still I am getting following error:

as already mentioned:

he got it working.

BTW: you need Jython and not Python !!

Hi Raiman,

   I am trying to have the same versions of software's that Mike mentioned in his blog:

System Configuration Setup:

    Windows 8.1 (German - but I plan to change that to English soon) - I using Windows 7
    Java version 1.8.0_05 (build 1.8.0_05-b13) can be JDK or JRE - I have this
    SikuliX 1.1.0 (nightly build 2015-01-16) ------ I have this
    Robot Framework 2.8.7 - I am using 2.8.5
    Python 2.7.3 - I am using 2.7.8
    Jython 2.7 beta3 (Jython 2.7b3)

I have downloaded "jython-installer-2.7-b3" from http://www.jython.org/downloads.html

I am unable to install this with command "java -jar jython-installer-2.7-b3". It was throwing "could not find the main class:org.python.util.install.installation. program will exist" error.

So I have copied this jar file in a folder, and extracted the contents in that folder. Then I gave that path as my "JYTHONPATH".

After that I am getting following error:

C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2>robottest.bat "c:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Veri
fy_Step2\robot_suite\verify_operations.txt"
Exception in thread "main" Traceback (most recent call last):

n2.7beta3\\Lib\\linecache.py', 127, 8, ''))

C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2>

Could you please tell me how to fix this.

And please suggest me a location where I can download " Robot Framework 2.8.7". I am unable to find this net.

Thanks in advance.

I mean "robotframework-2.8.7.jar" file.

I upgraded to "robotframework-2.8.7" using the following method:

C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2>pip install --upgrade robotframework
Downloading/unpacking robotframework from https://pypi.python.org/packages/sourc
e/r/robotframework/robotframework-2.8.7.tar.gz#md5=42a38054fb24787e6d767e0a96315
627
  Running setup.py (path:c:\users\symbol\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_symbol\rob
otframework\setup.py) egg_info for package robotframework

    no previously-included directories found matching 'src\robot\htmldata\testda
ta'

    Uninstalling robotframework:

    Removing C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\robotframework-2.8.7-py2.7.egg-info
Successfully installed robotframework
Cleaning up...

C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2>

But still I am facing same issue.

--- Jython
What about just double-clicking the installer jar?
But anyways: the standalone jar is sufficient.
When working with Sikuli, Python is not relevant (we need Jython).
Python might only help in preparations and installing prereqs with pip/easy-install/..., but the you have to create correct references to the created artifacts in the Python environment (usually site-packages)

--- RFW
version 2.8.5 surely is sufficient
about how to install and/or get the latest version:
https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/INSTALL.rst

where you get, when you start at
http://robotframework.org

--- your concrete problem
It seems, that you are still working with the old stuff from Mike.
I recommended, to work along
https://github.com/Tset-Noitamotua/Sikuli-and-Robot-Framework-Integration
there the with-future problem is fixed

ok, hat sich überschnitten.

Hi Raiman,

STEP 1:
=======

I am following same "https://github.com/Tset-Noitamotua/Sikuli-and-Robot-Framework-Integration". I have downloaded all files from here. And I upgraded Robot framework using "pip install robotframework" command as shown below:

C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2>pip install --upgrade robotframework
Downloading/unpacking robotframework from https://pypi.python.org/packages/sourc
e/r/robotframework/robotframework-2.8.7.tar.gz#md5=42a38054fb24787e6d767e0a96315
627
  Running setup.py (path:c:\users\symbol\appdata\local\temp\pip_build_symbol\rob
otframework\setup.py) egg_info for package robotframework

    no previously-included directories found matching 'src\robot\htmldata\testda
ta'

  Found existing installation: robotframework 2.8.1
    Uninstalling robotframework:

    Removing C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\robotframework-2.8.7-py2.7.egg-info
Successfully installed robotframework
Cleaning up...

C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2>

STEP 2:
=======

I am getting following error when I double click on installer.jar:

 "could not find the main class:org.python.util.install.installation. program will exist"

I tried to use standalone jar from "JYTHONPATH". but still its throws same error.

Could you please tell me how to use "jython-standalone-2.7-b3.jar"?

Hi RaiMan,

Could you please guide me how to use "jython-standalone-2.7-b3.jar"?

Thanks,
Balu

Sorry, you have to wait, other priorities currently.

Sure RaiMan, I will wait for your reply.

Thanks for helping me in your busy schedule.

Thanks,
Balu.

Hi RaiMan,

     Not to rush you, Is it possible to help me to fix this issue if you get some free time today or tomorrow. :-)

     I am getting pressure from my manager to complete my automation project.

     Thanks for your help.

Thanks,
Balu

Now I have the same versions of software's that Mike mentioned in his blog : "https://github.com/Tset-Noitamotua/Sikuli-and-Robot-Framework-Integration."

Following is my system configuration now:
==================================

    - Windows 7 32 bit
    - Java version 1.8.0_31 (build 1.8.0_31) JRE
    - SikuliX 1.1.0
    - Jython 2.7 beta3 (Jython 2.7b3)
    - Robot Framework 2.8.7
    - Python 2.7.8.10

My robottest.bat contents:
======================

@echo off

set sikulix_jar=C:\robot\libs\SikuliX_110\sikulixapi.jar
set robot_framework_jar=C:\Users\symbol\Desktop\Verify_Step2\robotframework-2.8.7.jar

     org.robotframework.RobotFramework ^
     --pythonpath=calc.sikuli ^
     --outputdir=results ^
     --loglevel=TRACE ^
     %*

My "verify_operations.txt" contents:
=============================

***Settings***

Library C:/Users/symbol/Desktop/Verify_Step2/calc.sikuli/calc.py

***Test Cases***
Verify that 2 + 2 = 4

 Verify App
 Perform Action 2 + 2
 Verify Result 4

Verify that 2 + 2 = 5

Now If run the test, I am getting following error:

Please help me to fix this issue in your free time.

Thanks,
Balu.

fuc…. auto-correct.

--- make a test setup with RFW
- create a folder (e.g. c:\RFW)
- into this folder copy the jython…jar
- into this folder copy the calc.sikuli from the github site mentioned, take the one from step_2
- into this folder copy sikulixapi.jar
- into this folder copy the verify_….txt again from the github site and from step_2
- from the Python installation folder at Lib/site-packages copy the complete subfolder robot

the jybot.bat can be run from anywhere

… but the calc.sikuli as it is setup, needs the RFW test to be run being in the test folder (otherwise the images would not be found).

In a real production environment the .sikuli libraries should be organized as a tree with a main library, that imports other libs as needed (environment settings or any other suitable way) and one should have an image repository which is pointed to by addImagePath() (no images in the library.sikuli).

Thanks RaiMan,

I will try the above things that you mentioned above and let you know the result.

Thanks once again for your timely help.

Hi RaiMan,

   I did the same thing step-by-step that you mentioned above.

   I am getting following error:

C:\RFW>jybot.bat verify_operations.txt
Error: Could not find or load main class org.python.util.jython

C:\RFW>

Hi RaiMan,

 I given "java -cp %JYTHON_HOME%jython-standalone-2.7-b3.jar;%CLASSPATH% org.python.util.jython ^" in jybot.bat file.

Its working now.

C:\RFW>jybot.bat verify_operations.txt
==============================================================================

Seeing small errors. But i will fix that (2+2=5).

Thanks Thanks Thanks so much for your timely help. Really you are GREAT.

Thanks,
Balu.

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

Danke für die Blumen und alles Gute.
Du bist jederzeit willkommen.
