How to see sikuli logs during execution?

Question

I'm trying to output some debug info in a Sikuli script using print but I can see this info only after the script has finished execution because the IDE hides itself while the script is running. Is there a way to see those logs during execution? Like outputting this info to console or (better) not hiding IDE during execution?

Answer 1

(1) You could use a pop-up:

popup("Hello World")

(2) You can use Jython's File IO

f = open("myLogfile.txt", 'a')
f.write("Log Message")
f.close()

Now if you open the log file in a text editor that warns about changes made to the file (ie NOT Notepad.exe), you can then see your print statements every time the file is appended by your script.
