Answer 1

"As per your statement Exception is : FindFailed: can not find C:\Users\Inknopwledge\Desktop\Sikuli\Capture.PNG on the screen.
This exception occurs when image with given path not found on screen within 3 second (default auto wait timeout for find operation in sikuli is 3 seconds) with default simillarity 0.7
You can make wait to load image then use find command or use:
Screen s = new Screen();
Pattern p = new Pattern ("img path/path").similar( (float) 0.7);
if (s.exists(p , 7) != null) {
Match match = s.getLastMatch();
}
Above command wait for 7 sec for image to appear on screen. Change your similarity percentage to get match. you image may be different form that displayed on app.

Answer 2

I had the same issue when using this in conjunction with Appium Driver. I realized that the image that I was snipping using my mac was not the one Sikuli could find. There are two resolutions then:
Download and install Sikuli IDE and use that for the snaps
Use the following code:
import org.sikuli.script.FindFailed;
import org.sikuli.script.Screen;
public void capture (String path){
Screen screen = new Screen();
screen.userCapture().save(path);
}
This would basically freeze the screen and allow you to snip the image and store it in the path which you mention. You can use an IDE to run this or create an executable jar file to run it from command line
