Answer 1

The getScreenShotAs() method is not defined as part of the WebElement interface. Rather, it is included as part of the TakesScreenshot interface. If you want to take a screenshot and save it to a file, try the following:

File file = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
