SIKULI INSTALLATION AND INTEGRATION WITH WEBDRIVER

Sikuli: Sikuli automates anything you see on the screen. It uses image recognition to identify and control GUI components. It is useful when there is no easy access to a GUI’s internal or source code.

For Installation of Sikuli and its Integration with Selenium Webdriver follow the steps given below:

Sikuli Installation

Step : 1  Download sikuli-setup.jar

Step 2: Go to this path and downlaod https://launchpad.net/sikuli/+download

Step 3 : sikuli-setup.jar

Step 4: Now open the command Window go to folder where this jar file is present

C:/<path to the jar file> and then type runSetup.cmd  (note no spaces between runSetUp.cmd)incommandprompt

Step 5 : the a pop-up will open saying “Please read carefully before proceeding” click “OK”

Step 6: Sikuli Setup window will open select first 3 checkboxes and click on “Setup Now” then click “Yes”

Integration with Selenium Webdriver

1.Add the following jar files to the project in which you want to integrate Sikuli tool.

i.Sikuli-api-1.0.2-standalone.jar

ii.Sikuli-webdriver-1.0.2-standalone.jar

iii.Selenium-server-standalone-2.33.0.jar

iv.selenium-java-2.25.0.jar

Here is an e.g to click on a flash button.

Screen screen = new Screen();
Pattern image = new Pattern("path to flash button image");
screen.click(image);

3.After placing this code you will see some errors as libraries are not imported. Just mouse over where errors are showing and include those libraries which eclipse is suggesting.Those libraries are below:

import org.sikuli.script.Pattern;
import org.sikuli.script.Screen;
import org.sikuli.script.FindFailed;
