Description

This is a placeholder ticket to track what’s part of the 2019-2020 roadmap on this front.

We don’t know yet what we’ll have to do among:

  • just fix the Sikuli situation
  • replace Sikuli but keep everything else
  • switch frameworks entirely (OpenQA?)

We’ll know better around January after we make more progress on Bug #15460.

It’s worth noting that we don’t use much of Sikuli. As long as we have an image matching primitive that returns the coordinates of the match, implementing the various find(), wait() etc we need is pretty easy. And something like xdotool (preferably something that will work in Wayland… if that is even possible?) can do the rest (mouse and keyboard interaction).

Right. I’ve added this info to the description of Bug #15460, which tracks the Sikuli-related problem.
