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

C#

public Bitmap TakeScreenshot(By by) {
    // 1. Make screenshot of all screen
    var screenshotDriver = _selenium as ITakesScreenshot;
    Screenshot screenshot = screenshotDriver.GetScreenshot();
    var bmpScreen = new Bitmap(new MemoryStream(screenshot.AsByteArray));

    // 2. Get screenshot of specific element
    IWebElement element = FindElement(by);
    var cropArea = new Rectangle(element.Location, element.Size);
    return bmpScreen.Clone(cropArea, bmpScreen.PixelFormat);
}

Answer 2

Jython

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType as OutputType
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils as FileUtils
import java.io.File as File
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver as FirefoxDriver

self.driver = FirefoxDriver()
tempfile = self.driver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE)
FileUtils.copyFile(tempfile, File("C:\\screenshot.png"))

Answer 3

Java

Seems to be missing here - taking screenshot of a specific element in Java:

public void takeScreenshotElement(WebElement element) throws IOException {
    WrapsDriver wrapsDriver = (WrapsDriver) element;
    File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) wrapsDriver.getWrappedDriver()).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
    Rectangle rectangle = new Rectangle(element.getSize().width, element.getSize().height);
    Point location = element.getLocation();
    BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(screenshot);
    BufferedImage destImage = bufferedImage.getSubimage(location.x, location.y, rectangle.width, rectangle.height);
    ImageIO.write(destImage, "png", screenshot);
    File file = new File("//path//to");
    FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, file);
}

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);
   }
}

C# (Ranorex API)

public static void ClickButton()
{
    try
    {
        // code
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        TestReport.Setup(ReportLevel.Debug, "myReport.rxlog", true);
        Report.Screenshot();
        throw (e);
    }
}

Answer 6

Java (Robot Framework)

I used this method for taking a screenshot.

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

You may use this method wherever required.
