Hi @eduzortea ,

When you’re running your bot on Eclipse, the bot is looking for resources at:

/src/recources/

In that folder are all images used by the bot to recognize UI elements.

However, when you build a runnable jar, the resource images are placed in the jar root. Use o zip extractor to check it.

Therefore you need to change your addImage() methods to addImage(“label”, “label.png”) without “/src/resources/”
