[John F Leach <1013396@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Can one of the Sikuli/Java experts revisit this issue?

We have a simple script which is similar to the code below:

while True:
    while not exists(image_name):
        sleep(0.25)
    click(image_name)

Is there anything we can do to prevent the out of memory issue?  If I
add gc.collect() within the infinite loop, is it going to fix the
problem?  This is a major problem when anyone considers using Sikuli for
stress and performance testing; adding a wrapper to re-launch Sikuli
isn't acceptable.

Title:
  X-1.0rc3-931: Java heap space exhausted with long running script using
  Region.right() .below() .nearby().

Status in Sikuli:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  ******** details - workaround

  only Region.right() and .below() and .nearby() are affected.
  .above() and .left() are ok.

  There is no other workaround, than to make your own functions, to get
  a Region right or below or nearby of a given region.

  It took me a while* to track this one down:

  NO memory leak:

  def getNumbers(numType, region):
       return 0

  def test()
      x=regions['topLeft'].find("JI.png")
      getNumbers("topLeft", x) # <----<----<---- Region

  while True:
       test()

  
  MEMORY LEAK:

  def getNumbers(numType, region):
       return 0

  def test()
      x=regions['topLeft'].find("JI.png")
      getNumbers("topLeft", x.right(75)) #<---<---<--- Region.right(x)

  while True:
       test()

  System: win7 64bit
  JRE 1.6.32 (JRE1.7.04 tested as well)
  Sikuli X1.0rc3(905) (1.0RC930 tested as well)

  I've tested a few variations of the code above already. I will go on,
  since that script is essential to a project I am running.

  PS: getNumbers is my own text (number) recognition algorithm since
  region.text() isn't working yet.

  * "a while" == 12 days - anyway, sikuli is really good for it's
  purpose
