SikuliX

Unable to start SikuliX 2.0.5 in Java 10

Asked by Nathan

Sikuli used to work great for me. But since a while it doesn't work anymore. When I start Sikuli I get the message: SikuliX is starting with Java 10. Then I have a icon in my taskbar for SikuliX, but when I click this icon nothing happens.

I tried downloading SikuliX again and moving the folders, without results.
Starting Sikuli with "java -jar sikulixide-2.0.5-win.jar -v -c" gives me the following output, but I have no idea what to do with this:

Did the problems start, when you started using Java 10?

you should use Java LTS versions (8, 11 or 17).

I develop and test with OpenJDK versions (non-commercial).

I do not have any problems running SikuliX 2.0.5 on Windows 11 (before on Win 10) using Java 11 or 17.

Thanks for your response RaiMan!
Nope, I already used Java 10 beforehand as well.

I have just downloaded Java 17 LTS. When I start SikuliX it says "SikuliX is starting on Java 17" but it still doesn't work :(

I find it very weird that Sikuli does seem to start but it just doesn't operate correctly. I can hover over the taskbar icon like in this image: http://prntscr.com/1zrjhd5
But when I click it nothing happens. Hope this detail may help someone in finding the solution.

So, if it worked before with the same setup (Java, SikuliX) then you have to find out, what has changed in your config or usage.

Check your monitor setups (should be 100% scaling).

Wow, it seems that I found the solution: I changed which one of my two screens is the left screen and now SikuliX works again! :o
Apparantly I changed this and Sikuli didn't properly process this change.

Changing the left screen while SikuliX is loaded also works, so now I can use my favorite setup and Sikuli works like a charm again.
