SikuliX

How to deploy SikuliX 1.1.0 to many computers?

Asked by ChauMing Lim

Hi!

I'm managing an automated testing system (Windows based) and Sikuli is used for automating some of the test steps.

With Sikuli 1.0.1, I was able to copy sikuli-ide.jar file and the libs folder to the test computers, and I could run the Sikuli scripts without any problems (the libs folder is in %PATH%). The copying is done automatically by the test system, so no manual installation of tools is needed when a new test computer is added to the system.

I've just installed SikuliX 1.1.0 and noticed that files needed by SikuliX are stored in %APPDATA%\Roaming\SikuliX, SikulixLibs_201510051707 for example. How does SikuliX know to look for files there?

Is it possible to store all the files needed by SikuliX in one folder?

Regards,
Lim

with 1.1.0 you only need the sikulix.jar in some folder on a system.

- no need anymore to have anything in %PATH% or environment (the libs are exported automatically at runtime and the path is handled internally)
- same goes for %APPDATA%\Roaming\SikuliX - it is dynamically setup at runtime if not there already

so simply let your workflow copy sikulix.jar to the place where it need to be and use it.

Not needed to care about anything else than sikulix.jar or sikulixapi.jar.
Everything that SikuliX needs is done automatically at runtime.
