[1.1.4] Ubuntu: switchApp() is no longer functional

what system? what Java?

On Windows 10 Build #211, with a copy of calc.exe in the Sikuli directory, the following code starts the calc application:

switchApp("calc.exe")

or

a1 = openApp("calc.exe")

or

myApp = App("calc.exe")

Thanks Mike. But unfortunately my OS is Ubuntu 14.04 and may java is java 8.

Sorry for the typo. My java is java 8. And when I print the return of switchApp it gives me "[-1:myApp()]myApp". Is that normal?

how exactly are you using switchApp()?

already tried openApp()?

The App class internally is heavily revised for Windows/macOS, but not tested yet against Linux.
So there might well be problems.

When I run my script I need to make sure myApp's GUI should be at the front cause there are many terminals running on my desktop. So I use switchApp() to switch the focus to myApp. I try to read through the docs but it seems this is only way I can do in Ubuntu.And I tried openApp(), still not working though.

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

should stay open - has to be checked
