03. Capture Screenshot

Capturing screenshot of software web application page is very easy in selenium webdriver.

As we knows, It is very basic required thing in software automation tools to capture screenshot on test case failure or whenever required during test case execution.

In Selenium WebDriver/Selenium 2, we need to capture screenshot of web page using bellow syntax.

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

Then we have to store it in our local drive using bellow given syntax. You can change/provide your own file destination path and name.

FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("D:\\screenshot.jpg));

Now we need to import bellow given header files to get support of capture screenshot in webdriver.

import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;

import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;

Sample Script:

package Others;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;

import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;

import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

import org.testng.annotations.Test;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;

public class testsample {

            @Test

            public void Capturing_Screenshot() throws InterruptedException, IOException

            {

                        //1. Open the Chrome Browser

                        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\Softwares\\chromedriver_win32\\chromedriver.exe");   

                        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();                

                       

                        //Open the URL

                        driver.get("http://www.google.com");

                        // Cature the screenshot

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

                        FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("D:\\screenshot.jpg"));

                        System.out.print("Screenshot is captured and stored in your D: Drive");

            }

}
