[Bug 1317813] Re: Clipboard issues, old data isnt cleared

 

There are some known issues with paste.

In this case, you could try to guard your paste this way:

pasteText =  u"V\xC4GD 1"
paste(pasteText)
if pasteText != Env.getClipboard().encode('iso-8859-15'):
    print "some error message"
    exit(1)

BTW:
the IDE editor window accepts utf-8 characters produced by your keyboard and shows them as such.
Python at script run is told, that the script is encoded in utf-8

So you could use:
pasteText =  u"VÄGD 1"

… and why are you not completely working in utf-8?

Title:
  Clipboard issues, old data isnt cleared

Status in Sikuli:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hi.

  I ran across an issue (it occurs in about 1 out of 30 trials) where
  old data gets passed from the clipboard to the paste function.

  Code:
          tripleClick(Pattern("1392988992662.png").targetOffset(70,2))
          type("c", KEY_CTRL)
          adress = Env.getClipboard().encode('iso-8859-15').strip()

  and paste part... about 350 SLOC later:
          paste(u"V\xC4GD 1")

  For some reason it picks a random object from the clipboard (and
  sometimes its not even the last copied item either...)

  And why am I doin it this way? Well, its because special characters
  (like ÅÄÖ) arent very popular and cant be written using the type()
  function. But paste(u"") works.

  Is this a problem in SikuliX or the Clipboard or somewhere else?

  Machine = Win7 Pro SP1
