[Bug 1000502] Re: same image of text not recognized on windows and mac

 

This is not a bug, this is one of Sikuli's features ;-)

Since text rendering can be very different on different systems (even among Windows or Macs) or browsers, you need a different set of images for the respective system.
Sikuli tries to solve this with its OCR feature, but this is not yet mature.

With Sikuli's  current approach how to find images, there is no way to
get this problem solved by Sikuli itself.

So I changed this to a request bug.

** Summary changed:

- same image of text not recognized on windows and mac
+ [request] same image of text should work on windows and mac

** Changed in: sikuli
   Importance: Undecided => Wishlist

Title:
  [request] same image of text should work on windows and mac

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  Trying to do an click on an image i have captured that is a text, but
  it is not finding it when trying with a different platform. yet when
  verifying with an assert it passes.  If started with capturing the
  text image using mac, then re-running the test on windows it fails.

  sample code.
  assert exists(<some image of the text>)
  click(<some image of the text>)

  if I have those code written (and image captured on a mac), it runs
  perfectly on a mac; but when running the same code on windows it
  fails.

  Is there a way to click on a text (knowing that mac and windows may
  have different behavior on displaying fonts). I am not planning to do
  any cut&paste but basically just click on a text.
