OS X - Firefox: Pattern misrecognition

[HellCook]

 Hi,

 I tried automating proxy activation in Firefox on OS X.
In the Firefox->Preferences->Advanced->Network->Connection Parameters:
 No matter how large (tried big and little patches) selecting the pattern centered on "Manual configuration of the proxy" when running the script:
- the first execution sometimes click on the good "Manual configuration of the proxy" (good recognition, no problem) and more often recognize "Use system's proxy's parameters".
- from the second execution the script always recognize "Use system's proxy's parameters" instead of "Manual configuration of the proxy".

NB: I use firefox localized in french, maybe this wrong recognition doesn't occur with english characters.

Anyway, it's a nice project.

If possible, can you please send us the images involved in the recognition. The images can help us debug the vision recognition system. Thanks!

Hi,

 For sure, I send you two screen capture, one of the problematic box, the
other one the same with more or less (painted with Gimp) the different
selections I tried.
 Hope this helps.

To use sikuli to reliably click on the right radio button, the best way is to find a larger region containing both the radio button and the text first then find within the region for the radio button. Sometimes using only the region surrounding the radio buttons does not work because it contains too little distinctive features (all radio buttons look the same).

Attached is the piece of code that can help you click on the right radio button (code1.png).

In the future release of Sikuli, we will consider adding built-in radio button support.

But for now, you can feel free to build your own click_button function (code2.png).

Hope this helps!!
