[Bug 1178428] [NEW] Can't use a folder named "libs" in Eclipse project

 

Public bug reported:

Sikuli version: r930
Operating system: Mac 10.7.5, 64 bit

Hello!

For some time I have been having troubles with getting a Sikuli test to
run in my Eclipse project on my Mac until today. In the project I have a
folder named "libs" in which all the necessary .jar files are stored to
be used by the automated tests. It works fine to have this "libs" folder
while on a Windows machine, however no Sikuli tests will run when it is
on a Mac. I found that if I changed the name to something else, e.g.
"libraries", it will work perfectly. My guess is that Sikuli is getting
confused and trying to access the wrong "libs" folder, accessing the one
in the Eclipse project instead of a different one.

Here are some step by step instructions:

1.  Set up Eclipse to use 32 bit Java 6 and have the SikuliScript variable pointing to /Applications/Sikuli-IDE.app/Contents/Resources/Java/sikuli-script.jar in the build path (standard Sikuli installation)
2.  Open Eclipse and create any project, for example "TestProject"
3.  Create a package for your test "com.test.bug"
4.  Create a class called "BugTest"
5.  Copy and paste the following code into BugTest:

package com.test.bug;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.sikuli.script.App;

public class BugTest
{
     @Test
     public void testBugTest()
     {
          App.open("Safari");
     }
}

5.  In the project, create a folder called "libs"
6.  Import any .jar file into this folder
7.  Try to run BugTest as a JUnit 4 test and notice it will fail
8.  Rename the "libs" folder created in step 5 to be "libraries"
9.  Run BugTest
10.  Notice that the test now runs as expected

I was very surprised that this was the problem because using "libs" as a
folder name seems to be pretty standard. Please let me know if you need
any more information, I'd be happy to help.
