[Question #247422]: How To Resolve "cannot open system clipboard" error

 

New question #247422 on Sikuli:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/247422

Hi,
I am using the following code extensively to copy the contents of clipboard into a variable:

uid = Env.getClipboard().strip()
and
row = int (Env.getClipboard())

In the earlier version of Sikuli, the following error used to occasionally occur:

[error] java.lang.IllegalStateException ( java.lang.IllegalStateException: cannot open system clipboard )
[error] --- Traceback --- error source first line: module ( function ) statement 176: main ( open_Excel ) uid = Env.getClipboard().strip()
[error] --- Traceback --- end --------------

When this error occurs, I used to just re-run the script and the script would run fine.

But now, after upgrading to Sikuli 1.0.1, the frequency of this error has increased and re-running the script is not helping. Could you please let me me know if there is any other efficient way to get this done. 

This is my operating environment:
IDE: Sikli 1.0.1
OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)
Java 7 (Earlier I was using Java 6. This error was not frequent then.)

Thanks,
Rafiq
