SikuliXRobotLibrary supports Jython interpreters supported by the Robot Framework.
SikuliXRobotLibrary depends on a few other Jython libraries, including of course Robot Framework. All dependencies are declared in setup.py.
SikuliX must be installed with the Tesseract based OCR features. When running the sikulixsetup-1.1.0.jar, make sure to select the second and third options.
The source code can be retrieved either as a source distribution or as a clone of the main source repository. The installer requires Jython version 2.7 or newer. Install by running:
jython setup.py install
Note: In most linux systems, you need to have root privileges for installation.
Uninstallation is achieved by deleting the installation directory and its contents from the file system. The default installation directory is [JythonLibraries]/site-packages/robotframework_SikuliXRobotLibrary-1.0.0-py2.7.egg.
Once you have installed SikuliXRobotLibrary it is a good idea to verify the installation. To verify installation start jython:
C:\> jython
and then at the Jython prompt type:
>> import SikuliXRobotLibrary >>
If the jython command line interpretor returns with another prompt ('>>' as shown above) then your installation was successful.
The most common issue with installing SikuliXRobotLibrary is missing dependencies. An error like:
ImportError: No module named sikuli
indicates that you are missing the sikulixapi.jar package. To correct this problem, install the sikulixapi.jar with tesseract then add the following in the environment variables:
CLASSPATH = <path to sikulixapi.jar> JYTHONPATH = <path to sikulixapi.jar>\Lib
Similarly if you receive "No module named ..." error message then you have another missing dependency. To correct, use easy_install to install the missing package.
