Jenkins is throwing exception error for robot sikuli script

[Sayali Waghmare]

Hi,

I have a robot sikuli script when run from terminal it just runs fine.

When executed from jenkins as a job it is throwing a exception as om.github.rainmanwy.robotframework.sikulilib.exceptions.TimeoutException: Timeout happend, could not find P(signin.PNG) S: 0.7.

Jenkins is installed as a service on windows machine.

Attached are the logs.

Thanks.

Since SIkuli is a screen capture and replay based testing framework, it needs access to the Windows desktop.  Running as a Windows service does not give access to the Windows desktop by default.

I suggest that you should configure a dedicated Windows machine that is logged into the Desktop automatically when Windows starts and automatically starts the JNLP based agent to connect to the Jenkins server.  Assign a label to that agent (maybe 'sikuli') and run your sikuli tests on that agent.

There are other techniques that attempt to give Windows desktop access to a Windows service.   I'm not persuaded that they are worth the effort.  Windows services generally are not expected to interact with the Windows desktop.
