Question #819694 on SikuliX changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/819694
scarley jeo posted a new comment: The issue you're encountering is likely due to Sikuli's reliance on visual recognition, which requires the screen content to remain static and visible in order to successfully identify and interact with the UI elements. When you switch to another tab or browser, Sikuli cannot "see" the elements on the screen, leading to test failures. Here are a few potential solutions: Use App.focus() Method: In Robot Framework with Sikuli, you can use the App.focus() method to bring the PowerBuilder application window back into focus before performing actions. This ensures Sikuli can locate and interact with the UI elements without issues. Regards https://ejhrc.com/ Example: robot Copy code App.focus("PowerBuilderAppName") Ensure the Application Window is Active: Before performing any interaction with PowerBuilder, ensure that the application window is active. You can use a command like bring_to_front() or focus() in Sikuli to make sure the window is in focus and visible on the screen. Disable or Minimize Other Windows: You can programmatically disable or minimize other windows that might be obstructing the PowerBuilder application during test execution. This will help Sikuli to focus solely on the desired screen. Avoid Switching Tabs During Test Execution: Since Sikuli depends on the screen's current state for image recognition, avoid switching tabs or using other applications during the test. If you must, ensure that the application window you’re interacting with is not minimized or covered. Use wait() or sleep() to Ensure UI Elements are Ready: If there's any delay in UI rendering or a transition between tabs, use wait() or sleep() to give time for the screen to stabilize before Sikuli tries to interact with it. Example: robot Copy code wait("image_of_element.png", 10) # Wait for the element to appear Consider Using a More Robust Framework for GUI Testing: If Sikuli's dependency on screen focus is too limiting for your automation, you might want to consider a more robust framework or tool designed for PowerBuilder automation, such as a tool that supports application-level APIs or automation with a more direct approach (e.g., using Pywinauto, AutoIt, or PowerBuilder's own scripting capabilities). -- You received this question notification because your team Sikuli Drivers is an answer contact for SikuliX. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~sikuli-driver More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
