Description Len DiMaggio 2006-09-19 14:30:29 UTC 
This problem is seen on Fedora FC5 (686 - 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5) with Dogtail and PYSPI version 0.6x (the same problem is seen with PYSPI and Dogtail built from CVS head 20060918 22:00 EDT USA).

Recording scripts in the procedural API seems to be OK. Recording scripts in the object oriented API fails with the errors listed below.

For example - this script - recorded in the procedural API - locates a running gedit process/GUI and selects file/quit:

--------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
from dogtail.procedural import *

focus.application('gedit')
click('File', roleName='menu')
click('Quit', roleName='menu item')
--------------------------------------------------------

Repeating the same steps while trying to record a script in the objecct oriented API results in these errors - the script is not recorded beyond these lines:

--------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/python
from dogtail.tree import *
--------------------------------------------------------

The errors are:

Comment 2 Zack Cerza 2006-10-10 20:59:24 UTC 
Starting in 0.6.1 the OO recorder is disabled, due to it being unmaintained.

Comment 3 Fabio Durán Verdugo 2011-02-07 06:07:22 UTC 
dogtail development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few
years now.
Maintainers don't have future development plan so i am closing bugs as WONTFIX.
Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
