1.1.4 collectWords() raises java NPE --- fixed buils#286

I have another script that fails, different error, but similar issue:

Settings.OcrTextRead=True
Settings.OcrTextSearch=True

match = find("1555512374529.png")
wait(1)
print(match.getTarget().getX())
print(match.getTarget().getY())
print(match.getW())
print(match.getH())
words = Region(match.getX(), match.getY(), match.getW(), match.getH()).findAllText("Process")
print(words)

#print(match.getText()) # does not even highlight the method as available
# print(">>" + r.collectWords())
# print(">>" + collectWordsText())
) raised: Traceback (most recent call last):

The fact that it fails on line: https://github.com/RaiMan/SikuliX1/blob/master/API/src/main/java/org/sikuli/script/Region.java#L3063

indicates that it did not find a match. Would lowering a matching threshold help? How to deal with this situation in general? Should I retry in a loop and with each iteration of the loop I should decrease the match threshold?

Sorry for the inconvenience. I will come back on this in the next 24 hours (night in europe now :-)

No worries and not too much rush! Thanks for looking into this!

Thanks a lot RaiMan, I think my problem might be with some libraries missing. I tried this script:

m = find("1555571349032.png")
words = m.findAllText(".jar")
print(words)

Gives this error:

Do you know if I'm thinking about this error correctly? What could I be missing?

Solved the last one by installing VC++ 2015 and deleting the ...User/AppData/Local/Test4J/win-xxx/ folder.

ok, good job ;-)

Thanks RaiMan, that solved my question.
