autokey - issue #204

Keyboard or mouse recording not working


Posted on May 23, 2012 by Quick Hippo

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Start Autokey in the command prompt with autokey-gtk -l 2. In Autokey Main Window menu select File -> New -> Script 3. With the newly created script selected go to the Main Window menu and select Tools -> Record keyboard/mouse 4. Nothing happends and in the command prompt the result is the following: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/gtkui/configwindow.py", line 1228, in on_record_keystrokes self.getCurrentPage().record_keystrokes(widget.get_active())
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/gtkui/configwindow.py", line 511, in record_keystrokes dlg = RecordDialog(self.ui, self.on_rec_response) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/autokey/gtkui/dialogs.py", line 603, in __init
self.ui.set_transient_for(parent) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gi/types.py", line 43, in function return info.invoke(*args, **kwargs) TypeError: Expected Gtk.Window, but got GObjectMeta

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The expected output is a window to start recording the keyboard or mouse actions, but instead nothing happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Autokey 0.90.4 in Ubuntu 12.04

Previously I used Autokey 0.71.4 and the keyboard recording did work.
