--- Paste doesn't work with yosemite.

please be more specific.

what version of Sikuli?
what Java version?

Hy,

Sikuli : 1.1.0-20150626.231021.115

Java : 1.8.0.31-b13

When I use paste, nothing is send to Mac OS X Yosemite.

It's seem OK on windows (I work actually to validate windows 10 with own
products)

My solution today is use the virtual keyboard in Yosemite and "click" each
special key, but it's very hard ......

ok, thanks. I will make some tests on my Yosemite.

--- virtual keyboard ??
the small overlay window with the clickable keys in a keyboard layout image, that can be activated from the menu bar after having set the "show…" option in the preferences?

just tested:
paste principally works (checked with Textedit)

So could you give me some more details (locale, what special characters, where did you try to paste).

BTW: sure, that the app has focus at time of paste() ?

a) virtual keyboard : in preference system, i use "Visualiseur de clavier"
. Sorry, i use a french configuration !!!

b) I use Firefox 38.0.5. The focus is correctly in URL area. type is ok
(except @ caracter for example), paste don't work.

I'am with a french keyboard configuration ...

just tested with Firefox 38…

switchApp("Firefox")
type("l", Key.CMD) # switch to address entry field
paste("<email address hidden>")

simply works.

Ooops, i've just forgot on think : Sikuli 1.1.0 is running on a PC (windows
7 ) and I use uvnc to access Mac.

So, your script doesn't work with me :(

If I adapt like this :

click("Firefox.png")
type("l", Key.CMD)
paste("<email address hidden>")

a) Firefox is correctly open
b) the URL access bar isn't selected. I've just à "l" in search box

If I use Mac keybord abd select URL access bar :

paste don't write anythink ....

ok, that changes things a bit ;-)

… nevertheless: forgot to mention, that FF should be started before running my snippet.

click("Firefox.png") # guess the icon on your desktop
wait(3) # give FF time to come up
# now still the focus is on the desktop, despite the fact that it might be visible
switchApp("Firefox") # to give focus to FF
type("l", Key.CMD)
paste("<email address hidden>")

I think my problem is link whit a combo proxy ... Finally, I don't know
exactly where is the focus ???

And, switchApp("Firefox") failled .....

????

you might try with
click()

to activate the window and to give focus to a GUI element in that window.

Goog Morning !!!

still no solution !

I've tested with Firefox and Safari same result.
can not use the command : 'paste'

in fact, when I test :

type("l",KEY_CMD)
or
type("l",KeyModifier.META)

I've just the letter "l" in the URL area.... and the command paste('test@//')
no give result.

I tested with textedit and I have the same problem ....

News !!!!

I've just make the same operation directly on the Mac, with sikuli install
on it ....

It's running ....

So, the problem is clearly with access via VNC between Windows and Mac .....

can you test with a such configuration ???

Thanks in advance

what about
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility

are SikuliX.app and Terminal.app listed and activated?

... and the VNC app in this case ?

--- can you test with a such configuration ???
sorry, no - at least not within the next 2 weeks.

But latest beginning mid August with version 2, I will focus a bit more on remote processing including VNC.

Thanks a lot.

I'am standing now for the new version.
