[1.1.4] IDE crashes on taking screenshots --- Jython must be available

System?

The machine this is running on is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 - 64 bit.
Thanks!

How do you run the IDE?

I just run this from cmd:
java -jar C:\MyPythonScripts\SikuliX\sikulix.jar
Thanks!

I just tested on Win 10-64 with Java 8 latest: works

I know that there are various smaller problems with the IDE GUI on Java 9+.
Currently I am developing on Mac with Java 11 and testing on Windows 10 with Java 8.

So if possible, go back to Java 8 and try again.

I make this question a bug, until I have tested on Win10 with Java 11 the next days.

I tested on Win10 with Java 11 now: everything works as it should.

Please go back and use the latest build 1.1.4 according to the steps as mentioned on the Downloads page.

... it looks like you did not activate Jython as mentioned there.

Cheers, tried this and got a similar log running the same on Java 8 Update 181:

please run so:

java -jar C:\MyPythonScripts\SikuliX\sikulix.jar -v

and send the debug output to my mail: sikulix---at---outlook---dot---com

Thank you, email was sent

please go back to comment #6 and do what I recommended.

Jython is missing still!

Jython must be available

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.

Hi,

Thanks for this, I've installed 2.7.0 version of Jython and the same problem occurs.

I do not understand, what you are doing or even reading ????

in comment #6 already I clearly said:

Please go back and use the latest build 1.1.4 according to the steps as mentioned on the Downloads page.

... it looks like you did not activate Jython as mentioned there.

All you need is available on the Downloadpage including information.

Had same behavior going on with Sikulix.jar standalone on my Mac and found this thread. Thanks Raiman for the debug java jar switch -v out of the terminal in comment #8.

Running that in terminal here I got output (don't recall exact) about Text Initializer some-such not finding native libraries and the program bailed out. Tesseract? Weird I thought; installed brew and installed Tesseract and problem solved.

Then I remembered...I had gone into settings and set the screen cap utility to prompt for filename on capture. Tesseract fires there with that option set, but doesn't obviously with the auto-naming.

Anyways, thanks again for the thread it was very useful (like Sikulix!).

Thanks for the pointer:
The Tesseract libs bundled with SikuliX where not handled correctly.
It is revised now and works with the latest build (no need to brew tesseract any more ;-)
