waitBest returning Null pointer exception

Asked by Chetan

we are passigng an array of image names and it is returning null exception when using latest methdod waitBest.
however we earlier used findbest like SearchRegion.findBest(name) and it used to work fine
search regrions is defined as
  SearchRegion= Region(width//2,0,width//2,height//2)

# passed png names with wait time as 5 seconds
name: ['ExtensionPinDropDownFeat', 'ExtensionPinDropDownLocal']
waitTime: 5
code
ctrl=SearchRegion.waitBest(waitTime,name)

If you have got the names of the images in an array, then you should use waitBestList instead of waitBest

https://sikulix-2014.readthedocs.io/en/latest/region.html#find-more-than-one-image-in-a-region-at-the-same-time

@RaiMan:
There is a error in the documentation:
The waitTime parameter is missing in waitBestList(ListPS), should probably be waitBestList(waitTime, ListPS)

Hi Manfred
Thanks for the reply.i have made the changes and used waitBestList but i doubt that it will work as if i use waitBest then same code works on my machine but when i run it on deployment machine then it fails
however findBest that we were using earlier works on both machines

fingers cross will update results soon.
however if we have anything else that i can try then let me know

i tried using waitBestList() but saw the same exception
[printSikuliLogs@244] ctrl=SearchRegion.waitBestList(waitTime,name)

any workaround would be appreciated here as it is blocking us

General advice (not sure whether involved here):
Avoid "common" words for variable names, like "name" etc.
This may lead to a clash with internally used objects,

however issues is not related to it
