What are strategies to construct reusable Sikuli screen shot libraries?

Question

I would like to use Sikuli to automate both GUI apps and Web apps running within browser on Mac OS X and Windows. My purpose is currently less for testing, and more for GUI auto

Answer 1

Maybe this will give you some idea's.
I have a file where I have multiple definition that need to look for a certain image.
Somethimes the image they need to look for is different in different browsers.
So I use something like this:

File: ImageLib.sikuli

browser_Windows_Firefox = ("windowsFox.png")
browser_Mac_Firefox = ("macFox.png")

File: Execute.sikuli

from ImageLib import *

# Variable you can get set somewhere 
operatingSystem = 'Mac'

image = ()
if (operatingSystem == 'Windows'):
    image = browser_Windows_Firefox
elif (operatingSystem == 'Mac'):
    image = browser_Mac_Firefox
else:
    # Unknow option here.... 
    pass

# Find and highlight it. 
imageLoc = find(image)
imageLoc.highlight(5)
