SikuliX

Using open( ), where to find the output file?

Asked by John

I'm using the Python function open( ) to create and write to a .txt file, but where is this .txt file located?

Example SikuliX code:

with open('output.txt', 'w') as f:
    for k in range(n):
        f.write(c_str[k] + '\n')

I'm using a Mac.

I'm running from the IDE, not the terminal.

Running from terminal solved my problem.

For reference:

java -jar /Applications/SikuliX.app/Contents/Java/sikulix.jar

The output file is created in your user directory.

the best way always is, to decide for a folder yourself.

e.g the folder containing the script you are running:

dir = getParentPath()

with open(os.path.join(dir, 'output.txt'), 'w') as f:

here you find some more convenience functions for folder handling:
