FindFail VS null pointer #62

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Hi sikuli team !

sikuli script was throwing a findfail exception when no match were found on the 
screen whereas sikuli API simply returns a null match pointer.

Is there any philosophical/design reason behind this change of behavior ?

Can a flag (to switch between those two behaviors) be considered a new feature ?

Thanks

Hi all!

I've been wondering the exact same thing!

Exception vs null behavior is always subject to debate but to my opinion 
sticking to Exception behavior in Sikuli API would be way more flexible 
especially as it would allow for distinction between not found element and 
timeout.

Thanks.
