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

Using RemoteWebDriver, after augmenting the Node with screenshot capability, I would store the screenshot like so:

void takeScreenShotMethod(){
    try{
        Thread.sleep(10000);
        long id = Thread.currentThread().getId();
        BufferedImage image = new Robot().createScreenCapture(new Rectangle(
            Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()));
        ImageIO.write(image, "jpg", new File("./target/surefire-reports/"
            + id + "/screenshot.jpg"));
    }
    catch( Exception e ) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

You may use this method wherever required. Then, I assume you can customize the style sheet of maven-surefire-report-plugin at surefire-reports/html/custom.css so that your reports include the link to the correct screenshot for each test?
