sikuli is not finding image files

Question

Trying out Sikuli in Java with sikulixapi 1.1.0, but it doesn't find my image files.

      screen.click("images/Terminal.png");

Maven (shade) put my src/main/resources/images into the JAR's toplevel "images" directory as expected. But running the uberjar doesn't find the image.

~/hello $ java -cp target/hello.jar hello.TestSikuli
 [error] Image: could not be loaded: file://Users.../hello/images/Terminal.png

It's looking in the current directory (happens to be the project directory), not in the JAR. I printed out the imagePath in the program, and it's an empty array.

How do I get it (perhaps with imagePath.add?) to search the invoked JAR? I had imagined it would look there by default.

Another thing I tried:

URL u = this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("images/Terminal.png");
Region r = screen.find(u);

But that blows up; if I pass a URL as shown here, I get "invalid parameter"; if I pass the .toString, I get:

FindFailed: Region: doFind: Image not loadable:
jar:file:/Users/.../Sikulix/j/hello/target/hello-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar!/images/Terminal.png

There doesn't seem to be a stream input interface in Sikluix, so maybe this just can't be done.

Answer 1

This worked:

  ImagePath.add(TestSikuli.class.getCanonicalName() + "/images");

There may also be a workaround of loading the image into memory. https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/232217

Answer 2

import this library

import org.sikuli.basics.ImageLocator;

and use this function to locate your image directory path

ImageLocator.setBundlePath("path to img directory");

and to execute your jar file run the following commands

  cd "your directory"

  java -jar hello.jar

Answer 3

Screen s1 = new Screen();
s.dragDrop("Drag elemtn location.png","Drag elemtn location.png");

You can give the element path location which you want to drag and same as drop.
