Sikuli RIDE combination: How to enable use of Sikuli functions? "global name 'exists' is not defined"

[David Scheele]

Hi there,

I'm just getting started with Sikuli and RIDE. Sikuli seems to be the perfect approach for our purposes. After playing a round a bit I wrote a simple test script to get started. Mind that I have never before worked in python and am just learning as i go along.so I might just make a simple mistake and not know it.

Here is my simple script:

class ExampleLib:

    def my_keyword(self):
        """does nothing"""
        print("Yes mykeyword works for some reason")
        pass

    def your_keyword(self, arg):
        """Takes and Argument, does nothing"""
        print("yourkeyword too... weird")
        pass

    def verifyApp(self):
        if exists("1427206879174.png"):
            print("yes!")
        else:
            print("no!")
        pass

Now, in RIDE I can successfully import the lib and execute testcases with my_keyword and your_keyword. As expected, this is not rocket science.

But verifyApp wont fly. RIDE cant find "exists" and gives me:

<Date here> : FAIL : NamError: global name 'exists' is not defined

Is there a way to get this to work? Can't i just somehow import some sikuli library into RIDE?

Thanks for your help and time!

Best,

David

By all means I'm not guru on the subject. I think that the solution to the riddle is:

1. your 2 first keywords are working because you just print something on the screeen. It doesn't matter if you pass arg or not.

2. verifyApp - it's problem with python syntax. To check if file exists you should use os module.

import os.path
if os.path.isfile(....)
   print(....)

For more information check:

Kind Regards, Greg.

Check out this Tutorial:

It's not about sikuli + ride in special but it shows u the concept of how sikuli can be used with RF. So if u get this u also will be able to use it with Ride. And actually u dont necessarily need Ride for this. You will See, I promise. I also started with ride but now I have all the stuff in 'IntelliJ Idea Community Edition' IDE.
