[1.1.0] OSX 10.7: Can't use App.open, openApp, App.focus running script from IDE started as app --- workaround: run script from Terminal

Anyone else seeing this or is it just on my machine?

I have revised the App class, to be more functional on Windows.
This seems to have some drawbacks on Mac (under investigation).

This works (tested on OSX 10.7):

bs = App("Safari")

bs.open() # open and focus
bs.focus() # has the same effects as open() on Mac currently

bs.close() # close the app

if I run it like that I'm getting the following error:
(maybe I should take a newer build of Sikuli 1.1? mine is from June 10th)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

[error] Runner: AppleScript:
tell application "System Events"
set found to "NotFound"
try
set found to first item of (processes whose unix id is equal to 0)
end try
end tell
if not found is equal to "NotFound" then
set windowName to ""
try
set windowName to name of first window of application (name of found)
end try
set found to {name of found, «class idux» of found, windowName}
end if
found

returned:

[error] script [ test ] stopped with error in line 3

yes, use latest build (sorry, for not mentioning it)

Hm, no, still getting the same error message..
Now running SikulixIDE 1.1.0 (2015-06-16_01:00nightly)

could you please paste the statements you used.

I just copied your code and ran it, nothing else;

bs = App("Safari")

bs.open() # open and focus
bs.focus() # has the same effects as open() on Mac currently

bs.close() # close the app

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also tried with "Safari.app" - same result.

bs.focus() does not throw the error, but it only works when app is minimized or behind another window, not when it's closed, then I get the same result as in original post (icon jumps in dock, then nothing happens)

bs.close() works fine.

Ok, confirmed.

Since I am testing from inside NetBeans, I did not realize, that it is not working, when you start SikuliX.app normally.
(on OSX 10.10 it works, since internally the open is implemented differently)

Until I found the reason for this odd difference, you should start the IDE from a Terminal session using:
<path-to>/runsikulix -c

Be aware: output goes to the Terminal.

or you might use the IDE normally, but run the script from the Terminal
<path-to>/runsikulix -r <path-to>/script.sikuli

Thank you, the workaround works fine!

With the latest build (2015-06-19) you have the option to easily start the IDE as "non-application"

After having moved the SikuliX.app to /Applications use the provided command scripts

- doubleclick runsikulix
- in a Terminal use runsikulix (if you want to provide parameters)
- in a Terminal use /Applications/SikuliX.app/run (equivalent to runsikulix)

running scripts from the so started IDE behave the same as when run from command line.
