hasWindow always returns False

Asked by Michael

Hi!

I am writing a basic script and want to print some information about my app, like isRunning(), getPID() etc. Everything works fine until hasWindow() is run, after that getPID returns -1 and isRunning() returns False. Here's my code and the output:

calc = App("myApp")
calc.open()
print 'Running: ' + str(calc.isRunning())
print 'Window title: ' + str(calc.getWindow())
print 'PID: ' + str(calc.getPID())
print 'Name: ' + calc.getName()
print 'Has window: ' + str(calc.hasWindow())
print 'Running: ' + str(calc.isRunning())
print 'Window title: ' + str(calc.getWindow())
print 'PID: ' + str(calc.getPID())
print 'Name: ' + calc.getName()

Output:

[log] App.open [23902:myApp]
Running: True
Window title:
PID: 23902
Name: myApp
Has window: False
Running: False
Window title:
PID: -1
Name: myApp

What causes this problem? Is something wrong with hasWindow()?

I'm using Linux and SikuliX version 1.1.0.

I checked some source files on git and realized that hasWindow() returns false because getWindow() returns "". I think? I still don't understand why getPID() returns -1 and isRunning() returns False though.

If the first started process has been completed after a few seconds and another process is running, such a phenomenon occurs .
It is necessary to confirm whether this phenomenon occurs regardless of hasWindow.

[example:]
calc = App("myApp")
calc.open()
sleep(5)
print 'Running: ' + str(calc.isRunning())
