Best way to take screenshots of tests in Selenium 2?

Question

I need a way to take screenshots of my functional tests. Right now I\'m using Selenium 2 with C# bindings. I pretty much want to take a screenshot at the end of the test to

Answer 1

Just use the extension method TakeScreenshot() in one line of code.

IWebDriver driver = new InternetExplorerDriver();
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("Your_Homepage_Url");

driver.TakeScreenshot().SaveAsFile("file_name_string", ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Answer 2

driver.Url = "https://www.amazon.in/";
//Store image in bin folder
((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot().SaveAsFile("CurrentPage.png"); 
//Store image in D drive        
((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot().SaveAsFile(@"D:\CurrentPage.png");

        ScreenCaptureJob scj;
        scj = new ScreenCaptureJob();
        // Specify the path & file name in which you want to save         
        scj.OutputScreenCaptureFileName = @"C:\Users\jpavankumar\Desktop\Screencaptuere\ScreenRecording4.wmv";
        // Start the Screen Capture Job
        scj.Start(); scj.Stop();

1. Add a reference of System.Drawing in your solution/project.
2. Use System.Drawing.Imaging namespace in your test.

Here I am capturing the screen shot of Facebook Home page.

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using NUnit.Framework;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

namespace FacebookRegistrationUsingC_Sharp
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class ScreenShot
    {
        IWebDriver driver = null;
        IWebElement element = null;

        [SetUp]
        public void SetUp()
        {
            driver = new ChromeDriver("G:\\Selenium_Csharp\\Jar\\chromedriver_win32");           
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.Facebook.com");
            driver.Manage().Window.Maximize();

        }
        [Test]
        public void TestScreenShot()
        {           

            Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
            ss.SaveAsFile("e:\\pande", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        }

        [TearDown]
        public void TearDown()
        {
            driver = null;
            element = null;
        }
    }
}

Best way to take screenshot and store in the file location in a generic way in python :

def screenShots(self):
        fileName= NewFile + "." + str(round(time.time() * 1000)) + ".png"
        screenshotDirectory = "../screenshot/"  #Move to that directory where you want ot store the screenshot
        relativeFileName = screenshotDirectory + fileName
        currentDirectory = os.path.dirname(__file__)
        destinationFile = os.path.join(currentDirectory,relativeFileName)
        destinationDirectory = os.path.join(currentDirectory,screenshotDirectory)

        try:
            if not os.path.exists(destinationDirectory):
                os.makedirs(destinationDirectory)
            self.driver.save_screenshot(destinationFile)

            self.log.info("Screenshot saved to directory" + destinationFile)

        except:
            self.log.error("Exception Occured")
            print_stack()

I don't know if it matters, but I ended up having to cast the driver when i was writing in c#.

something like:

Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
