Sorry, I have just seen this for 1.1.4

"-- Real Screen needed

The system running SikuliX scripts or any apps using SikuliX features must have a real screen connected. So called headless systems are not supported (Java restriction). While using SikuliX features, the screen should not be in sleep mode nor show a screen saver. It must be in a state, that a user could work with the system and watch on the screen what is going on."

The question is now, there is no posibility to run in headless mode?

currently 1.1.4 blocks running on headless systems.

With my latest tests switching to OpenCV 4 (branch dev-opencv-4), I tested the Linux behavior on a Windows 10 system using WSL/Ubuntu18-04 which is restricted to headless by default.

I successfully used sikulixapi.jar to run a script, that did not touch any features, that are not available in a headless environment, after fixing some startup quirks, that leaded to crashes in headless.
I will add these fixes to master (and hence latest build) the next days.

I will keep you informed here.

OK, thank you.

We will use 1.1.3 still until there is a stable use for headless mode in 1.1.4 since we can only use with the whole configuration the headless mode.
