Sikuli's Official BlogExamples and Tutorials of Sikuli | Share your scripts to the world!

We thought one thing Sikuli can not automate is itself, since it hides itself every time when it executes a script. We are proven wrong by Koichi Tamura, who has demonstrated it is possible to run a command-line Sikuli script to click on the buttons of another Sikuli IDE in the foreground in order to run other Sikuli scripts. More interestingly, the process of loading Sikuli scripts into the IDE is automated by yet another automation tool. This tool is a visual programming tool Koichi is currently developing himself. Below is the example demonstrated by Koichi. Two Sikuli scripts are represented as two nodes connected by an arrow. One script opens a “hello world” popup, while the other opens a new tab in a web browser and loads his blog in the tab.

Watch the video in YouTube to see this example in action:
