Sikuli Error

Asked by Milena Paz

Hi, I'm having a really hard time trying to find a solution to an error that I am getting upon debugging/running my test. Im using macbook pro & no matter what I do, I cannot get it to work.

The error i'm getting: [error] Settings: load version file sikulixversion.txt did not work

Sikuli is installed, I am using Java version 8 with TestNG version 6.12.0

Some of my debugging log:

what version of SikuliX?

Is a correctly setup sikulixapi.jar on classpath at runtime?

Thank you very much for your quick response RaiMan! I was able to find the solution to my problem. What I needed was 2 things. First, I needed to completely uninstall Java 9 in order to insure I am only using Java 8. Also, I needed to go through the Sikuli installation again & this time choose option 1 so that i could get the Sikuli IDE. Once having the Sikuli IDE, i used that to take my image screenshots instead of using my default macbook pro screenshot tool & I also was able to take screenshots of the regions I am working with. Its a little bit confusing at this time figuring out where Sikuli is storing my images on my computer but other than that everything is now working fine. I created tests to locate elements (images) using TestNg, not using TestNG, using native apps & using web apps. Thanks again!

well done ;-)

where images are stored:

When using the IDE to shoot your images, you should create a script folder using save in the IDE and then use the ImagePath feature in your Java code, to access the images.

Very important: have a strict naming convention for everything concerning your images.
