[Bug 1850633] Re: [1.1.x] [2.0.0] Ubuntu 16.04: Unable to capture Eclipse dialogs --- workaround

 

Thanks for the detailed docs.

Such special problems are related to the combination of the respective
GUI manager and Java AWT Robot (which is used in SikuliX).

They cannot be fixed in SikuliX and will not be (due to the many
flavours of Linux and its GUI's).

possible workarounds:
- try with a newer Java version
- try with another GUI manager
- try with another capture tool and import the images to SikuliX
- find another workaround (as you did in this case)
- ... more ?

Title:
  [1.1.x] [2.0.0] Ubuntu 16.04: Unable to capture Eclipse dialogs ---
  workaround

Status in Sikuli:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  **************** workaround see comment #3
  ---------------------------------------------

  I'm using Sikuli 1.1.3 on Ubuntu 16.04 (Java8) to implement some smoke tests for an application based on Eclipse.
  The tool was quite promising on Windows, anyway I'm facing a strange behavior on Linux which is critical for the rest.

  The capture works well for the main window, but it fails with each
  popup dialogs. By fail I mean that I simply cannot capture those
  dialogs; they remain transparent with only the dialog border (see
  attachment).

  This is reproducible with any Eclipse dialogs (preferences, about, new
  wizard, etc...), and also with the recent 2.0.0 version.

  Any idea ?

  To reproduce download one of the Eclipse packages for Linux from
  https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ and try to capture the
  "Window > Preferences" dialog for example.
