Re: I can run test by invoking sikuli-script.jar but not by invoking robotframework.jar

[Travis Thomas]

Alternatively, if there is a walkthrough for RIDE that can specifically demonstrate how to configure sikuli within it that'd be great.

I was able to get through almost all of this walk-through, but got stuck after running the test in the command line. I've tried a zillion combinations of Library imports and Jybot/Pybot arguments, but can't get RIDE to run the test. I just get the Java usage print.

Thanks for the help.

When I execute this in my Windows 7 environment, the test runs:

However, when I attempt to run the test through the Robot Framework, I can't get it to work. Here's my command: 

C:\Test_Cases>java -jar C:\Java_lib\robot.jar run webmin.txt

I have also run this command (I renamed robotframework-2.7.7.jar to robot.jar for brevity):

Here's the import statement it is barfing over from webmin_tests.py: 

from sikuli.Sikuli import *

In my webmin_tests.sikuli directory, I have both the sikuli-script.jar file and the extracted Lib directory. 

Thanks for any insight!

Worse case scenario, you could look into using Sikuli as remote library and import that from RIDE. Sikuli can be run as Jython remote library or pure Java remote library (using Sikuli Java API instead of Jython API).

[Teppo Testaaja]

Well, when running sikuli tests you always have to set the classpath explicitly to point to sikuli-script.jar. So in your case you could try:

set CLASSPATH=C:\Test_Cases\webmin_tests.sikuli\sikuli-script.jar;

java -jar C:\Java_lib\robot.jar run webmin.txt

The failure message in your post indicated that the sikuli-script.jar is not in the java classpath.
I am not sure if this proposal will work but hopefully this helps. I have been running Jython-based sikuli tests from Robot Framework using the jybot command, and I have managed to get it working, but I have not tried to run Robot Framework as a stand-alone .jar

Teppo is right in that the problem is the sikuli jar is not on the classpath, but the suggested command needs to be tweaked a bit.

When using the -jar argument to the JVM, the CLASSPATH environmental variable is ignored by design. This is explained on https://code.google.com/p/robotframework/wiki/JavaIntegration.

Try:

set CLASSPATH=C:\Test_Cases\webmin_tests.sikuli\sikuli-script.jar;C:\Java_lib\robot.jar

java org.robotframework.RobotFramework run webmin.txt
