SikuliX

click inconsistencies

Asked by Gary Paschke

We are trying to use SikuliX-1.1.1 to automate regression testing. The tool works fine for several simple menu clicks. However, it fails to 'Click' the menu sometimes. We always run the application on the same Windows 10 PC 64bit at Full screen mode, so we are not moving anything on the screen. The cursor goes to the correct position and highlights the button, but fails to actually activate (Click) and just hangs there. We’ve tried to modify the ‘Matching Preview’ and Target Offsets’ of the image with no better results.

I do not accept such kinds of problems as bugs, since based on the Java Robot used underneath: If a click sometimes works and sometimes does not (supposing the click position is correct), it is usually a timing problem: the GUI is not yet ready to accept the click at the time it is issued. Adding short waits before actually clicking sometimes helps.

maybe try

    while True:
        if exists(image):
             click(image)
        else:
            wait(5)

Can you help with this problem?
