[Bug 1188186] Re: [1.0] IDE: Importing doesn't work when imported file changes: Requires Sikuli restart

 

** Description changed:

+ *** possible workaround ---------------------------------
+ use 
+ import functions
+ reload(functions)
+ 
+ ... but this only works if the module is fully reloadable (means: does not contain code, that should only run once)
+ ----------------------------------------------------------
+ 
  Sikuli cannot import changes from another sikuli project to main sikuli
  project without restarting Sikuli.
  
  Let say we have main.sikuli and some functions on separate sikuli
  project (let say functions.sikuli).  Importing works fine but doesn't
  work when doing changes on the imported Functions.sikuli. Both projects
  are open simultaneously and I do quite often changes to functions when
  developing because on test automation chains can be very long and
  reusable code is needed.
  
  This is very annoying to shut down Sikuli always when changing other
  project and then restarting it. It causes sometimes really strange
  errors if forgot to restart...
  
  Basically this happens always for me. Below is import part of the main.sikuli.
  # coding: utf-8
  from sikuli import *
  import os
  import Functions
  
  OS: Windows 7 SP1 64 bit
  Sikuli v1.0.0 32bit on 64bit platform because Java is forced 32bit
