[Bug 1409298] Re: [1.0.1] WinXP: type() not working at all

 

HI,

Currently, I encountered this issue
but I have a different solution :
- VM Jenkins slave which has the job, under Debian Wheezy
- VM with my targeted environment to test, under Windows 7 enterprise

Execution of Jenkins job :
- script shell to set/inject environment variables 
- run vnc client (full screen mode) to connect to VM to test
- run robobot framework + sikuli script


All works fine, except type() command

As vnc client running in fullscreen mode, the keyboard is disabled by
default

Just do the following steps in command line :

echo "Vncviewer*grabKeyboard:true">>~/.Xresources
xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources

And now, it works fine for type() command

Title:
  [1.0.1] WinXP: type() not working at all

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  I have just installed Sikuli on the 5th system in our company.  We are
  using it to automate some tasks that have to be done every day exactly
  the same way and are easily enough scripted with Sikuli.

  It is on this 5th and final system that I ran into trouble.  There is
  nothing that I can tell which is different on this system than any
  other that I have installed it on previously.  Windows XP 32 bit
  operating system.  Java 7 installed, Python 2.74 installed, and Sikuli
  1.0.1.

  So now, on this one, the type() function does not seem to work at all.
  Any of the other visual functions seem to work perfectly.  It is just
  this type() function I am having trouble with.   The log in the IDE
  shows that the command was sent (example: [log]TYPE "www.google.com".
  Can anyone shed any light on this problem?  I will be happy to provide
  any additional information that is requested.  Thanks in advance.
