[1.0.1] tessdata folder not found after setup with option 5 --- workaround --- fixed with 1.1.0-Beta2

Hi

I'm using Sikuli for the first time and got the sames error when I'm running the windows tutorial.

[error] TextRecognizer: init: tessdata folder not found at C:/Sikuli/libs/
[error] Region.find(text): text search is now switched off

[error] script [ *Untitled ] stopped with error in line 1
[error] FindFailed ( Text search currently switched off )

I have done as described for the workaround and the libs folder was created but no tessdata folder.
The only thing that has to do with tessdata is the file: libtesseract-3.dll under the libs folder.

Regards
Glenn

Sikuli IDE 1.0.1
Win 7 x64

Steps:
1) run Sikule IDE
2) type a code "wait()" (for example)
3) Take screenshot

! get message "[error] TextRecognizer: init: tessdata folder not found at C:/Program Files (x86)/sikuli/libs/"

4) click the icon of this pattern and go to Matching Preview

! Sikuli don't find the pattern in screen and do not stop searching

Comment: if the project saved on disk, the bug do not reproduced

the bug's reproduced

I just checked with a fresh setup on Win 7 (32-Bit or 64-bit does not matter here):
It works acccording to the specified workaround at the top.

To clarify your situation:
- delete the folder: C:/Program Files (x86)/sikuli/libs/
- in a commandline window start the IDE using:
runIde.cmd -d 3 -c

among other messages there should be this one:
... Found 30 files in META-INF/libs/tessdata

which means, that you now have a valid tessdata folder in libs.

BTW: against the recommendation you seem to run SikuliX from a program folder. There might be problems because the program folders are blocking write accesses to some extent.
SikuliX MUST be in a folder that is fully accessible for write operations in the users current context.

I have just downloaded "tessdata" stuff and then Text search was switched on now.

I want to find a file named "helloworld.txt" in a folder, and I use find("helloworld.txt") but

[error] FindFailed ( can not find helloworld.txt on the screen. )

and then I had tried to type "helloworld.txt" in a .txt file, and find("helloworld.txt") again, but it still
[error] FindFailed ( can not find helloworld.txt on the screen. )

So does the Text Search is OK with the latest version? Or I had used it in a wrong way?

If it works, could you give me a example or using scenario of Text search.

Thank you!

I have done this for you this time.
But it is nearly always a better, to start your own question.

--- your question
The OCR and text search feature in Sikuli still is weak, especially with smaller fonts or text on not-plain backgrounds.
So before starting complex things with it, you should test, wether it works in your situation.

easy test:
print selectRegion().text()

you simply select a specific region containing the text (the file name) in your case and look what Sikuli reads.

If it works, the you have to find an approach with find(text), that works.
Restricting the region as small as possible is always a good idea in any case of finding something.

@RaiMan
Thank you for your quick response and kindly suggestion. I'll start my own question next time.

 I tried your solution and it didn't work well. Hope you can arrange the schedule and enhance this feature.
Thanks!

Its working for as solution provide by Raiman to delete file inside libs folder and run sikuli-ide.jar .It ll create tessdata folder after that just copy that tessdata to default path.As per my linux machine i created SikulitTesseract folder inside .SikuliX folder and pasted tessdata folder it worked for me Thanks Raiman
