[2.0.x] Citrix issue with keyboard --- use Settings.AutoDetectKeyboardLayout = False

Asked by filleton

I'm actually working on a citrix app, when i'm trying to use some keyboards inputs, it does not work.

Example :
type(Key.ENTER) #does not work
type("\n") #does not work

I also tryed this : but it does not work either
keyDown(Key.ENTER)
wait(0.5)
keyUp(Key.ENTER)

How can I fix it?

type("Some text") #Works

Note that all works in a local app (ie: notepad)
Thank you.

You have to find out, wether Java AWT Robot actions (internally used by SikuliX) are restricted against a Citrix window.

Does click() work?

Try to run from a administrator command line.

Yes, click() works

Ok, thank you for the answer.

No, with the administrator command line it does not work.

Maybe it's a hint, but I have sometimes this error on the 'type' instruction :
[error] script [ test ] stopped with error in line 3
[error] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException ( java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key: Not supported character: B )
[error] --- Traceback --- error source first

--- [error] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException ( java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Key: Not supported character: B )

... and what is the related type(???)

Are there any special setups in your context with relation to KeyBoardLayout (which is autodetected in latest SikuliX on Windows)?

We use SikuliX with Citrix quite frequently. Had no issues so far concerning keyboard layout.

Do you have the same keyboard layout inside the Citrix session and on the machine you run the test from?

You can also try to disable automatic keyboard layout detection at the very start of your script:

Settings.AutoDetectKeyboardLayout = False

But then you have to ensure that both sides have the en_US layout configured and active.

Sorry for the late answer :

Settings.AutoDetectKeyboardLayout = False is working, I have access to the 'Enter' key with this instruction first.

Thank you everybody!
