Paste() doesn't work "perfectly"

should have been posted as a question

usually a timing problem: the GUI is not yet ready to accept the paste, because your script is too fast ;-)

put a short but sufficient wait (try wait(0.5)) before the paste()

sleep(1)
should be enough normally.

But you should somehow check/assure, that the target has focus in these cases.

BTW: give 1.1 1 a try (http://sikulix.com) is pre-final

I tried the 1.1.1.
It looks like everything works now =)

Thanks !

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

After many test;
I still have the same problem. Even with a wait(1) or wait(0.5) before the paste
Did I do something wrong ?
Why ?

Since I do not know your app situation, I can only guess:
- either a timing problem
- or a focus problem

try a type("x") before the paste, to see, wether the input field has focus.

OK I tried;

Sometime I got in the field :
"XBOGOTA LONG DRYSTAR NOIR/GRIS FONCE L"
and sometime I got :
"X"

So that's mean that the focus is good.

Here the part of the script :

wait(0.5)
type("x");
paste(ucode("BOGOTA LONG DRYSTAR NOIR/GRIS FONCE M"))
wait(0.5)

I have to specify that, I am not starting the script from the Sikuli's GUI.
I launch it by CMD using this command : runsikulix.cmd -r path/of/my/script.sikuli

type("xxxx") works every time, the only problem is that we can't write special characters with this function.
So when I am trying to, the script failed and stop.

That's why I am using paste() associated to ucode().

is it a local application or a web app?

I want to setup a testcase myself.

It's a local application.

The problem is that's a licensed software so you can't get it for free.

Maybe you can try with the "DEMO" version.
It's "Point de Vente G5" :

I'll keep in touch if you have questions.

ok, I will try it.

Did you got time to try it ?

sorry, not yet.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

Did you got time to try it ?

apparently not, sorry.
Will try it today.

No problem, take your time =)

ok, I made some tests and had no problems.
