How can I take a screenshot with Selenium WebDriver?

Question

Is it possible to take a screenshot using Selenium WebDriver?

(Note: Not Selenium Remote Control)

Answer 1

Java

I could not get the accepted answer to work, but as per the current WebDriver documentation, the following worked fine for me with Java 7 on OS X v10.9 (Mavericks):

import java.io.File;
import java.net.URL;

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.Augmenter;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class Testing {

   public void myTest() throws Exception {
       WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
               new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub"),
               DesiredCapabilities.firefox());

       driver.get("http://www.google.com");

       // RemoteWebDriver does not implement the TakesScreenshot class
       // if the driver does have the Capabilities to take a screenshot
       // then Augmenter will add the TakesScreenshot methods to the instance
       WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
       File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).
               getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
   }
}
