Answer 2

Use driver.save_screenshot('/path/to/file') or driver.get_screenshot_as_file('/path/to/file'):

import selenium.webdriver as webdriver
import contextlib

@contextlib.contextmanager
def quitting(thing):
    yield thing
    thing.quit()

with quitting(webdriver.Firefox()) as driver:
    driver.implicitly_wait(10)
    driver.get('http://www.google.com')
    driver.get_screenshot_as_file('/tmp/google.png') 
    # driver.save_screenshot('/tmp/google.png')

Answer 3

Have a look on the below python script to take snap of FB homepage by using selenium package of Chrome web driver.

Script:

import selenium

from selenium import webdriver

import time

from time import sleep

chrome_browser = webdriver.Chrome()

chrome_browser.get('https://www.facebook.com/') # Enter to FB login page

sleep(5)

chrome_browser.save_screenshot('C:/Users/user/Desktop/demo.png') # To take FB homepage snap

chrome_browser.close() # To Close the driver connection

chrome_browser.quit() # To Close the browser

I understand you are looking for an answer in python, but here is how one would do it in ruby..

If that only works by saving in current directory only.. I would first assign the image to a variable and then save that variable to disk as a PNG file.

eg:

 image = b.screenshot.png

 File.open("testfile.png", "w") do |file|
  file.puts "#{image}"
 end

where b is the browser variable used by webdriver. i have the flexibility to provide an absolute or relative path in "File.open" so I can save the image anywhere.

Answer 5

This will take screenshot and place it in a directory of a chosen name.

import os
driver.save_screenshot(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__)), 'NameOfScreenShotDirectory', 'PutFileNameHere'))

Answer 6

Inspired from this thread (same question for Java): Take a screenshot with Selenium WebDriver

from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com/')
browser.save_screenshot('screenie.png')
browser.quit()
