Question

How to take the screen shots in selenium 2.0?

Explain with code.

Answer 1

You can use below function to capture screenshot.

 

/**

* This function is used to capture screenshot and store it in directory

* @param driver -Pass your WebDriver instance.

* @param screenshotdir - Pass your screenshot directory

* @return - Returns location where screenshot is stored.

* @throws IOException

     */

public static String captureScreenshot(WebDriver driver,

String screenshotdir) throws IOException {

String randomUUID = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

String storeFileName = screenshotdir + "\\"

+ getFileNameFromURL(driver.getCurrentUrl()) + "_"

+ randomUUID + ".png";

String[] screenshotdirsplit = screenshotdir.split("\\\\");

String fileName = screenshotdirsplit[screenshotdirsplit.length - 1] + "\\"

+ getFileNameFromURL(driver.getCurrentUrl()) + "_"

+ randomUUID + ".png";

File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver)

.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File(storeFileName));

return fileName;

}

 

In above function, I am accepting WebDriver object and screenshot directory. I generate random UUID so that my image file name can be unique all the time. I take screenshot and store it in a file and return the File name.

In C#:

 

screenShot = ((ITakesScreenshot)_driver).GetScreenshot();

 

screenShot.SaveAsFile(fileName, ImageFormat.Png);
