Imagesearch stopped working without Console ERROR - (Moved)

[Peter_isnotmyname]

Well well,

I have this problem for a long long time and I tried to fix it on my own well it did not work. I know the Image search library is buggy but I don't want to learn a new Programming language. Anyway, let me describe my Problem: Image search works fine or at least it does it at the beginning after some time without any reason the function can't find the picture anymore there is no reason why. The example file worked at the beginning as well but now even the example file cant find images anymore. That's the first File of my larger project, which also worked at the beginning as all other files.

I tried: 

- Run the script as x86 (I use Windows 7, 64 bit)

- Use a different functions -> imagesearcharea etc.

- Play with the Parameters (tolerance etc) 

- Use a different imagesearch version

- Use a different Autoit version

-  Put the DLL files inside of the script folder + delete the x64, run the script, and the same with x86

- Run the script as Admin

-  Replace the Image with different formats and sizes (.jpg, png....)

- Add time to the Function

You should consider using WebDriver instead of using ImageSearch.  It would make your script way more efficient and far more robust.  Take a look at it :

 

ps. Since you are using Chrome, this is the tool you need.  But you can do everything with IE UDF also.  Just wanted to let you know that those are 2 extremely powerful solutions to fix your issues.
