Question #252079 on Sikuli changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/252079
RaiMan proposed the following answer: meanwhile you seem to have changed the content of the mentioned question. but anyway: if you do not get a match (exists returns None) you say return failed What is failed? if you now run the click with this whatever return value your have: click(failed-whatever-this-is) if failed can be casted to a string value, then it surely is not a valid filename and hence you get the mentioned error, since Sikuli tries to use the String for text search, but text search is switched off.
