Re: [Question #234686]: Sukuli easy interaction with any software/OS

 

Question #234686 on Sikuli changed:

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
I do not really understand the approach:
- a Sikuli script is a text file
- and it contains the image file names

So why an additional text file?

Only having a bunch of image files and check wether they can be found or
not is not a real problem, because you always need the information/setup
of the screen (the visual context), to have a chance to find the image.

This is in the end, what makes up a Sikuli script: a workflow simulating
user interactions, that drive the application state from one point to
the next and using images on the screen to act on or to check what is
the status.

There are 2 things, that are currently missing with Sikuli:
- a recorder, that intelligently observes user actions and produces a runnable workflow as Sikuli script
- a top level DSL (domain specific language), to define some visual workflow including decisions and repeats
