[Bug 1251957] Re: Sikuli Automation fails for lock machine.

 

Might be, that "In software industry automation executions are done with locked screen only", but again: the currently used approach in Sikuli (using Java Robot) does only allow to access the real screen (which is what you see when looking at the monitor).
It does not work on headless machines either.

The only available workaround is to run the script in a virtual machine,
that simulates real screen, keyboard and mouse while the real screen
might not show the VM window (VM window minimized or screen locked). The
convenience options to automatically catch the mouse must be switched
off.

Until someone has a good idea how to overcome that generally, things
will not change in Sikuli.
