Sikuli - NameError: global name 'openApp' is not defined

I'm calling a sikuli function, inside Sikuli IDE, but I get this error "NameError: global name 'openApp' is not defined"...

If I try to do openApp('calc') in a new Sikuli blank file, it works, but if I use in another .sikuli file like:

def sample():
    import myLib
    # my Lib is .py file that I've created and put it on sikuli-script.jar
    var = somevalue
    myLib.myFunction(something)
    openApp('calc')

I get the error with "openApp" and other sikuli funcions like "Key" (ex: Key.ENTER) too...

Hope I had explained that well

Solution

  • By default, Sikuli will insert a from sikuli import * into all main files. This error tends to occur when you import sikuli modules. If you are importing modules, you will need to add the import manually. See the documentation for more advice.
