Similar Function App.waitVanish('someapp')

already checked the observe feature?

Error is :
"AttributeError: type object 'App' has no attribute 'waitVanish'

Regards

Already looked into the docs?

what about comment #1?

yes ...but i am not an expert :-)
I looked again the last docs "Sikulix 2014 - 01 2018" (very nice)
i wanted to try the function " "myApp.windows"

for exemple -1- with Firefox NOT starting and command "if not"
myApp = App('Firefox')
if not myApp.window():
      App.open ('gnome-terminal')
wait(1)
--> OK its Working a gnome-terminal Start

for exemple -2- whith Firefox STARTING and command "if"
myApp = App('Firefox')
for step in range (60):
if myApp.window():
      wait(1)
App.open ('gnome-terminal')
Not OK --> a gnome-terminal starting immediatly.

My problem comme from whit an another app i lauch it by start a Gnome-Terminal and paste "LD LIBRARY PATH ....... ./myApp "
i think sikuli don't know "myApp" is lauched or not whit this method.

I need to try another method to lauch myApp.

Thanks RaiMan for the help you gave me!

Hello,

After some Holidays and few tests. For information the solution for me is the following script :
myApp=App('PathtoMyApp')
myApp.open()
wait(1)
for n in range (30): #time out at 30s
       if myApp.window() :
             wait(1)
       else : break
....
....

Whit this script during the loop of 30s, if i kill by myself the application " myApp", immediatly the loop stops to keep the script.

If i change "myApp.window()" by "myApp.isRunning()"
--> Its works if the application is stoped by Sikuli Script like "myApp.close()"
--> It doesnt work if i kill the application by myself
...i don't know if my explainations are so clear :-)

Thanks

Thanks for the information - very clear ;-)

I guess the problem is, that for Linux the App features are not all completely implemented - sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks for your reply, your support and Sikulix !!!

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.
