Hello all,

Hoping someone might be able to offer some advice.

First a little background... I have written a script that automatically enters test cases into a UI I am testing. The UI contains around 90 fields each of which is populated from a CSV file (which is read by the Sikuli script). The script is perfectly functional and enters the test cases without issue if left for several days. 

The problem I have is the speed at which keys are typed gradually slows down the longer Sikuli runs. To start with a test case takes around 19 seconds to enter. After 1000 test cases the execution has slowed to 43 seconds and by the end of the file it's several minutes. The java memory use peaks at 750mb which is absolutely fine (the machine has 8gb RAM). I'm unsure how to prevent the degredation in peformance. A few pieces of key info:

• The tests themselves do not appear to be the cause as I tried running some of the later tests (800-1000) at the beginning of the batch and they averaged 19 seconds. It purely seems to be the length of time Sikuli has been running.

• Ending the script (Shift-Alt-C) and immediately restarting it from the point it had reached results in the script immediately speeding back up. The increase in speed is quite noticeable.

• No memory problems are encountered no matter how long the script has been running.

• The system is responsive after the script is stopped.

• CPU use is not excessive whilst running.

• The slow down appears to be in the time it takes to enter a key. For instance two consecutive

• The Sikuli script is 806 lines in length which doesn't seem to be excessive.

Is anyone else having trouble?

Thanks,

Nathan
