Running installer via App.open() leads to App.focus failed error.

Asked by sdraganov

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.17134.407]
Sikuli 1.1.4 (201810311629)
java version "1.8.0_171"

I'm trying to run an installer on windows but I got an error - App.focus failed: no window error when using the following command:
App.open("D:\builds\vray_adv_40205_max2019_x64.exe")

Despite that installer is successfully launched, but script is already terminated.

If I run installer through terminal with following command everything works fine:
#App.open('CMD /C ' + "D:\builds\vray_adv_40205_max2019_x64.exe")

Any idea why this is happening?

Yep, I already realised, that there is still a quirk in the revised App.open implementation.

You might try this:
installer = App("D:\builds\vray_adv_40205_max2019_x64.exe")
installer.open(10) # waits for max 10 secs for the app to get ready

feedback appreciated

nevertheless: your situation is a bug, which I will post and relate here.
