What am I doing wrong?

Asked by Mark McGuinn

Hi,

I am writing a script to gather some info from a auction site. I ran into a problem and tried to use the debug features of Sikuli. However the simple script below hangs when it tries to print out a string and variable. Is there something I am missing or is this a bug:

rom sikuli import *

def end_loop(val):
    return val[1]

wait( "1575294322743.png")

# check if there are any auctions
#

auctions_reg = ("1575542482620.png")

if exists (auctions_reg):
    print("No Auctions")
    Debug.user("No Auctions")
    Auctions = False
else:
     print("Auctions ")
     Debug.user("Auctions ")
     lowestbid = 0
     lowestask = 0
     auction_count = 0
     Auctions = True
     Continue = True
     test_str = "true"

arrow_region = (Region(410,792,147,33))

#
# Here need to deal with th case where there is no downlit arrow
# This means there could be 1 - 4 auctions
#
if Auctions is True and arrow_region.exists(Pattern("downarrowlit.png").similar(0.91)) :
    Debug.user("Auctions True and downlit arrow exists")

elif Auctions is True:
       popup ("Auction true and count is-->")
       Debug.user("Auctions True but no downlit arrow-->", test_str,"<---")

else:
    Debug.user("Fell through to Pass")
    print"Passing "
    pass

The log file contains:

6/12/19 17:37:48)] Auctions
[user (06/12/19 17:37:53)] Auctions True but no downlit arrow-->

and the debug output in the ide is:

Apparently at this point
if Auctions is True and arrow_region.exists(Pattern("downarrowlit.png").similar(0.91)) :

the downarrowlit.png did not appear within 3 seconds:
Region: exists: downarrowlit.png did not appear [3002 msec]

Because the down arrow does not appear the system starts to print out the string:

Auctions True but no downlit arrow-->

It should add in test_string a variable which contains "true", however the system hangs and the only way to get it back is to kill the process.

ok, finally understood ;-)

 Debug.user("Auctions True but no downlit arrow-->", test_str,"<---")

is not possible this way

the parameter must be a string:

 Debug.user("Auctions True but no downlit arrow-->" + test_str + "<---")

or a Java format string and a list of parameters:
 Debug.user("Auctions True but no downlit arrow-->%s<---", test_str)

BTW: you should not use popup(), because this might interfere with your GUI. Either use print or Debug.user().

To make print more helpful, you should run your script in a commandline, so you can see the printout live.
In the IDE in parallel edit/save your script.
