click() doesn't click

[kenorb]

I've this Python script on macOS Sierra:

app = App("BlueStacks")
app.focus()
region = Region(App.focusedWindow())
region.click("1496165553436.png")

when run in SikulixIDE 1.1.1 against BlueStacks, the search image is highlighted (which means it's found), mouse moves on the right spot, but the click is not registered, despite in log it's successful:

[log] App.focus: [28084:BlueStacks]
[log] highlight M[970,408 93x130]@S(0) for 2.0 secs
[log] highlight M[970,408 93x130]@S(0) for 2.0 secs
[log] CLICK on L(1016,473)@S(0)[0,0 1920x1200] (522 msec)

Screenshot of the app:

already tried: hover(image) wait(someShortTime) click()

So what's point of click(some_img) syntax (having image to find as argument), when you need to still hover on the image and click it.

Although I've tried suggested code, but it doesn't work as expected either.

app = App("BlueStacks")
app.focus()
region = Region(App.focusedWindow())
region.hover("search_button.png")
wait(2)
click()

After clicking Run from editor, the window gets focused correctly, the right image is blinking for a second (twice), then mouse moves on it from Run button (in IDE) into that image, nothing happens for 2 seconds, then mouse moves back to the middle of the screen. What I'm doing wrong?

Maybe I need to move the mouse first using different function, then click on it, as it seems hover doesn't move the mouse cursor.

If you're using region.hover, you'll need to use region.click(). Each region's recent matches are tracked separately.

@glitchassassin Thanks for the comment ;-) Too fast 4 me ;-)

So what's point of click(some_img) syntax (having image to find as argument), when you need to still hover on the image and click it.

This is only to test possible timing problems with your GUI. Hover moves the mouse pointer to the location (your image in this case). This "mouse over" might be registered by your GUI. the region.click() just clicks the last match in region.

Another option instead of region.click() would be to use

click(Mouse.at())

which would simply click at the current position of the mouse pointer.

For some reason it doesn't click, despite the right location and that the click is registered in the log:

[log] App.focus: [343:BlueStacks]
[log] highlight M[71,474 85x82]@S(0) for 2.0 secs
[log] highlight M[71,474 85x82]@S(0) for 2.0 secs
Before wait: L(113,515)@S(0)[0,0 1920x1200]
After wait: L(113,515)@S(0)[0,0 1920x1200]
[log] CLICK on L(113,515)@S(0)[0,0 1920x1200] (523 msec)
[log] CLICK on L(113,515)@S(0)[0,0 1920x1200] (524 msec)

Code:

app = App("BlueStacks")
app.focus()
region = Region(App.focusedWindow())
image = region.hover("1496310394356.png")
print "Before wait: ", Mouse.at()
wait(2)
print "After wait: ", Mouse.at()
click(Mouse.at())
wait(2)
click(Mouse.at())

Maybe it's just BlueStacks app specific issue. I'll try to find some workaround and test that with different app or on different operating system.

Is BlueStacks running as root? Is Sikuli running as root?

[kenorb]

All apps default ran as a user. The mouse moves fine (so SikuliX has access to control it), but it doesn't click (it 'think' it did, but there is no any after effect). Manually clicking on the same region works fine.

Tested also with Screen Sharing app by sharing screen locally (so it's different app), but it is the same issue with click(). Mouse is on the right spot, but click doesn't do anything. However it works with region.doubleClick(png) (despite I need only single click)! Maybe it's possible to longer the effect of click() (press and release time), so I can test? How?
