Initialize Brobot's Environment

Configure Spring to Automate the GUI​

In the executable class, we need to add the following lines for Brobot to be able to execute real runs:

    SpringApplicationBuilder builder = new SpringApplicationBuilder(Run.class);
    builder.headless(false);
    ConfigurableApplicationContext context = builder.run(args);

These lines should replace any other code involving SpringApplicationBuilder and the ConfigurableApplicationContext.

Setup Brobot​

This needs just one line to specify the folder with images to reference, and one line to turn on mocking.

    // setup brobot
    ImagePath.setBundlePath("images.sikuli");
    BrobotSettings.mock = true;

Set the Active States​

The InitialStates class allows you to specify various groups of states that could possibly exist when your application starts. This is practical if the program(s) you are controlling have different starting configurations. InitialStates can also be used for a more targeted search if Brobot gets lost, instead of searching for all states with the StateFinder.

We allow for two possible single-state starting points: HOME and WORLD. These states don't exist yet, but we will add them soon. The first parameter in addStateSet gives the probability of these states appearing as the starting point.

    // find initial active States
    InitialStates initialStates = context.getBean(InitialStates.class);
    initialStates.addStateSet(90, WORLD);
    initialStates.addStateSet(10, HOME);
    initialStates.findIntialStates();
