What's the command to take a picture in Sikuli

Question

I\'m using Sikuli IDE. I\'d like to know what the command to take a screenshot is, so I can capture the screen at the end of a test.

Something like this

Answer 1

Cheap Sikuli trick for screencaps is to have a defined region, then capture the region.

So if you've got a Chrome browser you want to cap, just set it up something like this:

App.focus('Chrome.app')

ChromeWindow = App('Chrome.app').window()

That will both focus the computer to the target application, and define a region composed of the window parameters of the application. Then run this:

capture(ChromeWindow)

Then use shutil (import shutil) to move the file around to wherever you need it in your local directories. I usually put that code pile into a function I can call when needed TakePicture(Name) where Name is what I want to call the screencap when called in a particular test. Sikuli is both powerful and easy!
