*.sikuli folder extracted to "tmp -- *" folder in java tmp path , from *.skl file during execution, is not removed at the end of the JVM termination . Accumulation of these "tmp -- *" folders may create space issue.
1. The version of Sikuli you were using.
=> sikuli X-1.0rc3 ( r905 )
2. Your operating system, 32-bit or 64-bit, and its version.
=> Windows XP SP3 - ( 32 bit OS )
3. The procedure to reproduce the bug.
=> run any sikuli executable ( *.skl ) file using "Sikuli-IDE.bat"
4. Any information that might help us to locate the bug.
=> tempDir.deleteOnExit() method is not working as expected. [ method createTempDir() in org.sikuli.ide.Utils.java file ]
There are lot of discussion about why deleteOnExit() not working. Bug reported and never arrived solution . Please refer http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=4171239
I would suggest to use tmpDir.delete() in runSkl method in org.sikuli.ide.SikuliIDE.java ,
public static int runSkl(String filename, String[] args) throws IOException{
_runningSkl = true;
File file = new File(filename);
if(!file.exists())
throw new IOException(filename + ": No such file");
String name = file.getName();
name = name.substring(0, name.lastIndexOf('.'));
File tmpDir = Utils.createTempDir();
File sikuliDir = new File(tmpDir + File.separator + name + ".sikuli");
sikuliDir.mkdir();
Utils.unzip(filename, sikuliDir.getAbsolutePath());
int returnCode = runSikuli(sikuliDir.getAbsolutePath(), args);
tmpDir.delete();
return returnCode ;
}
