PhantomJS vs. Sikuli

Asked by Joe

Is it possible to use Sikuli similar to the way PhantomJS is used? Basically, can it be scripted in such a way that the automated scripts are run in the background utilizing a headless browser concept.

simply no.

Sikuli has nothing to do with any application like a browser.
it is simply visual about the pixels on the screen.

PhantomJS can somehow be compared with concepts like Selenium.

The only possibilities to push a Sikuli run to the background is to use VM's or any VNC based solution, that creates a virtual screen, that a Sikuli script can be run against (some X-Windows solution).
