[Bug 887242] [NEW] Sikuli becomes unreliable after running for a long time

 

Public bug reported:

I've been using sikuli recently to automate tasks that are impractical
for a human to do and I've begun encountering issues in any script that
runs for more than a couple of hours.

For example, I have a script which is essentially just locating a button
and clicking on it, locating it again and clicking on it, etc. for a
given number of loops.  It works fine for a while, and then after about
500 loops (running for over 2 hours) Sikuli stops being able to locate
the image and flops into it's exception state on every subsequent loop.
This is bad.

I've been able to repro this on mac and windows.
