SikuliX

Can't launch mac desktop app from SikuliX

Asked by Melvin Raymond

I'm running SikuliX on Mojave. I can open apps like Text Editor, and other apps via the IDE, but I do not seem to be able to launch our application that I want to write tests for.

This works: App.open ("/Applications/TextEdit.app") and will open the Text Editor
This fails: App.open("/Applications/Viewer.app") and posts an error "...Viewer.app not found"

I can invoke the Viewer.app from the Mac terminal
I can also create a "thing.py" file and run it with "./thing.py" from the terminal but even that when configured in SikuliX won't invoke even though it invokes the app fine from the terminal.

I've looked around in the forums and Google and worked with a developer to try and get this working. Both of us are new at Python and SikuliX. I have been able to run a Demo to test my setup and that worked fine.

Using Python 2.7.10
Using SikuliXIDE 1.1.3
Using Mac os: Mojave 10.14.2

Try with latest 1.1.4

Thank you Raiman for the quick turn around!

OK, I got that up and running and it does appear to let me invoke my app now. So just to clarify, this is a nightly build and I'll need to upgrade once 1.1.4 is released?

While using 1.1.4 nightly, you should check for new builds from time to time.

... and yes: once the final is out, you should upgrade to it.

Thanks Raiman. Good to stay on top of it. Our main projects will be
starting soon so I'll probably end up backing off it once that starts.
