SikuliX

Cannot save scripts using IDE on Mac

Asked by Ira Fuchs

I am running the sikuli IDE jar from terminal.app on MacOS v10.14.6. It runs but every time I go to run a script, the dialog to save the script comes up but it does not save it. Also, the dialog to save comes up at /Users and I cant find a way to select another path (double clicking does not work). The script runs but is never saved.
My objective is actually to be able to run sikuli from a python script so that I can feed it text from another source but I thought I could get started with the IDE and work from there.

I am sorry, but I cannot test on macOS 10.14 (already on macOS 12).

There I tested with a 2.0.5 on Java 8 (supposing you are on Java 8) and had no problems with IDE -> File -> Save dialogs.

May be it is a Java problem.
You should try with a latest Java OpenJDK 8 (AdoptOpenJDK or from Azul)

I installed the latest Java SDK but I don't think that is what I am seeing when I run sikuli from the CLI.

%java --version
openjdk 13.0.2 2020-01-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 13.0.2+8)
Eclipse OpenJ9 VM AdoptOpenJDK (build openj9-0.18.0, JRE 13 Mac OS X amd64-64-Bit 20200118_155 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
OpenJ9 - 6968c18d7
OMR - 7a1b0239a
JCL - 9c5a41bd5f based on jdk-13.0.2+8)

Not sure how to get sikuli to run with newer java.

When I run sikuli from terminal, it says it is running under Java 13. Is that what it should say?

Revision history for this message

use on Terminal:
/usr/libexec/java_home -V

to see what Java versions you have installed where.

If on Terminal you run
java -version

what is shown is the Java version used when you issue a java command on command line

So to run the SikuliX IDE with a suitable java version use in Terminal
java -jar <path-to>/sikulix.....jar

Before this you can select the java version for this Terminal session using
/usr/libexec/java_home -v x.y
where x.y is a suitable version number

I just tried launching it using the Java Launcher app and it seems to work correctly. I surmise that the problem is that I am not getting the same version of java or the SDK when I start from the CL. I don't know howto fix that but at least I can run the IDE.
Thanks for your help.

Uuuups not complete ;-)

Before this you can select the java version for this Terminal session using
/usr/libexec/java_home -v x.y
where x.y is a suitable version number

you get the path to the executables Home folder.

To activate it, use:
export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v x.y`

I am not clear on what I need to specify to get the right version of Java. This is what I seem to ahve installed:

these are outdated and should be purged (simply delete the folders in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/

Currently one should only have the LTS versions 8, 11 and 17
https://adoptium.net (formerly AdoptOpenJDK)

The 13 is an intermediate version and no longer valid.
Your 17 looks odd.

Honestly, there are few casinos that provide great bonuses. I am pretty sure that casino syndicate online ( https://syndicatecasino.at/ ) will make your life better because it's goal is not to steal money but to be honest with you. If you want to quit your job and make a living from playing a casino it's your best choice!
