Description

This is my use case

with seleniumlibrary, i take screenshot of the web browser.

engineering team release a new version

with sikuli i run test in order to undertand if something is different.

some area should to be different and this is ok,

some other area doesn't have to change, so if there are some change there are some regression.

good.

some time i'm in difficult to understand WHY a test fail versus image recognition.

if the image comparison was against the same screen area and same resolution , i can use pillow to make a image diff, but with sikuli, that search for an image everywhere in the screen, how i can obtain this result? any suggestion?

Research direction

Start by reviewing the SikuliLibrary image-recognition behavior alongside the SeleniumLibrary screenshot workflow and the proposed Pillow diff approach. Before implementation, define where a failed search should expose diagnostics and add a reproducible regression test; the issue provides no file, test, or acceptance criterion.
