How can I take a screenshot with Selenium WebDriver?

Is it possible to take a screenshot using Selenium WebDriver?

(Note: Not Selenium Remote Control)

Java

Yes, it is possible. The following example is in Java:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
// Now you can do whatever you need to do with it, for example copy somewhere
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png"));

Python

Each WebDriver has a .save_screenshot(filename) method. So for Firefox, it can be used like this:

from selenium import webdriver

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

Confusingly, a .get_screenshot_as_file(filename) method also exists that does the same thing.

There are also methods for: .get_screenshot_as_base64() (for embedding in HTML) and .get_screenshot_as_png()(for retrieving binary data).

And note that WebElements have a .screenshot() method that works similarly, but only captures the selected element.

C#

public void TakeScreenshot()
{
    try
    {            
        Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
        ss.SaveAsFile(@"D:\Screenshots\SeleniumTestingScreenshot.jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}

JavaScript (Selenium-Webdriver)

driver.takeScreenshot().then(function(data){
   var base64Data = data.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/,"")
   fs.writeFile("out.png", base64Data, 'base64', function(err) {
        if(err) console.log(err);
   });
});

Ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :ie
driver.get "https://www.google.com"
driver.save_screenshot("./screen.png")

More file types and options are available and you can see them in file takes_screenshot.rb.

Java

I got this issue resolved. You can augment the RemoteWebDriver to give it all of the interfaces its proxied driver implements:

WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(...); // It works this way

PHP (PHPUnit)

It uses PHPUnit_Selenium extension version 1.2.7:

class MyTestClass extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase {
    ...
    public function screenshot($filepath) {
        $filedata = $this->currentScreenshot();
        file_put_contents($filepath, $filedata);
    }

    public function testSomething() {
        $this->screenshot('/path/to/screenshot.png');
    }
    ...
}

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);
}

Java

public String captureScreen() {
	String path;
	try {
		WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
		File source = ((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
		path = "./target/screenshots/" + source.getName();
		FileUtils.copyFile(source, new File(path)); 
	}
	catch(IOException e) {
		path = "Failed to capture screenshot: " + e.getMessage();
	}
	return path;
}

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"))

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.

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);
}

C#

using System;
using OpenQA.Selenium.PhantomJS;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;

namespace example.com
{
    class Program
    {
        public static PhantomJSDriver driver;

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            driver = new PhantomJSDriver();
            driver.Manage().Window.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(1280, 1024);
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.example.com/");
            driver.GetScreenshot().SaveAsFile("screenshot.png", ImageFormat.Png);
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

It requires NuGet packages:

1. PhantomJS 2.0.0
2. Selenium.Support 2.48.2
3. Selenium.WebDriver 2.48.2

It was Tested with .NET Framework v4.5.2.

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);
   }
}

PowerShell

Set-Location PATH:\to\selenium

Add-Type -Path "Selenium.WebDriverBackedSelenium.dll"
Add-Type -Path "ThoughtWorks.Selenium.Core.dll"
Add-Type -Path "WebDriver.dll"
Add-Type -Path "WebDriver.Support.dll"

$driver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.PhantomJS.PhantomJSDriver

$driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.google.co.uk/")

# Take a screenshot and save it to filename
$filename = Join-Path (Get-Location).Path "01_GoogleLandingPage.png"
$screenshot = $driver.GetScreenshot()
$screenshot.SaveAsFile($filename, [System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat]::Png)

Other drivers...

$driver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver
$driver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Firefox.FirefoxDriver
$driver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.IE.InternetExplorerDriver
$driver = New-Object OpenQA.Selenium.Opera.OperaDriver

There are multiple methods through Selenium's Java and Python client to take a screenshot using Selenium WebDriver.

Java Methods

The following are the different Java methods to take a screenshot:

• Using getScreenshotAs() from the TakesScreenshot interface:

• Code block:

       package screenShot;
  
       import java.io.File;
       import java.io.IOException;
  
       import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
       import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
       import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
       import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
  
       public class Firefox_takesScreenshot {
  
           public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
  
               System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
               WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
               driver.get("https://login.bws.birst.com/login.html/");
               new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("Birst"));
               File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
               FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File(".\\Screenshots\\Mads_Cruz_screenshot.png"));
               driver.quit();
           }
       }
  

• Screenshot:

  

• If the webpage is jQuery enabled, you can use [tag:ashot] from the pazone/ashot library:

• Code block:

       package screenShot;
  
       import java.io.File;
       import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
       import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedConditions;
       import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
  
       import ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.AShot;
       import ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.Screenshot;
       import ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.shooting.ShootingStrategies;
  
       public class ashot_CompletePage_Firefox {
  
           public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
  
               System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
               WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
               driver.get("https://jquery.com/");
               new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.titleContains("jQuery"));
               Screenshot myScreenshot = new AShot().shootingStrategy(ShootingStrategies.viewportPasting(100)).takeScreenshot(driver);
               ImageIO.write(myScreenshot.getImage(),"PNG",new File("./Screenshots/firefoxScreenshot.png"));
               driver.quit();
           }
       }
  

• Screenshot:

  

• Using [tag:selenium-shutterbug] from assertthat/selenium-shutterbug library:

• Code block:

       package screenShot;
  
       import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
       import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
       import com.assertthat.selenium_shutterbug.core.Shutterbug;
       import com.assertthat.selenium_shutterbug.utils.web.ScrollStrategy;
  
       public class selenium_shutterbug_fullpage_firefox {
  
           public static void main(String[] args) {
  
               System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\geckodriver.exe");
               WebDriver driver =  new FirefoxDriver();
               driver.get("https://www.google.co.in");
               Shutterbug.shootPage(driver, ScrollStrategy.BOTH_DIRECTIONS).save("./Screenshots/");
               driver.quit();
           }
       }
  

• Screenshot:

Python Methods

The following are the different Python methods to take a screenshot:

• Using save_screenshot() method:

• Code block:

       from selenium import webdriver
  
       driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
       driver.get("http://google.com")
       driver.save_screenshot('./Screenshots/save_screenshot_method.png')
       driver.quit()
  

• Screenshot:

  

• Using the get_screenshot_as_file() method:

• Code block:

       from selenium import webdriver
  
       driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
       driver.get("http://google.com")
       driver.get_screenshot_as_file('./Screenshots/get_screenshot_as_file_method.png')
       driver.quit()
  

• Screenshot:

  

• Using get_screenshot_as_png() method:

• Code block:

       from selenium import webdriver
  
       driver = webdriver.Chrome(r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
       driver.get("http://google.com")
       screenPnG = driver.get_screenshot_as_png()
  
       # Crop it back to the window size (it may be taller)
       box = (0, 0, 1366, 728)
       im = Image.open(BytesIO(screenPnG))
       region = im.crop(box)
       region.save('./Screenshots/get_screenshot_as_png_method.png', 'PNG', optimize=True, quality=95)
       driver.quit()
  

• Screenshot:

  

Ruby (Cucumber)

After do |scenario| 
    if(scenario.failed?)
        puts "after step is executed"
    end
    time = Time.now.strftime('%a_%e_%Y_%l_%m_%p_%M')

    file_path = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../../../../mlife_screens_shot')+'/'+time +'.png'

    page.driver.browser.save_screenshot file_path
end

Given /^snapshot$/ do
    time = Time.now.strftime('%a_%e_%Y_%l_%m_%p_%M')

    file_path = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + '/../../../../../mlife_screens_shot')+'/'+time +'.png'
    page.driver.browser.save_screenshot file_path
end

Ruby

time = Time.now.strftime('%a_%e_%Y_%l_%m_%p_%M_%S')
file_path = File.expand_path(File.dirname(__FILE__) + 'screens_shot')+'/'+time +'.png'
#driver.save_screenshot(file_path)
page.driver.browser.save_screenshot file_path

PHP

public function takescreenshot($event)
  {
    $errorFolder = dirname(dirname(__FILE__)) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . "ErrorScreenshot";

    if(!file_exists($errorFolder)){
      mkdir($errorFolder);
    }

    if (4 === $event->getResult()) {
      $driver = $this->getSession()->getDriver();
      $screenshot = $driver->getWebDriverSession()->screenshot();
      file_put_contents($errorFolder . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'Error_' .  time() . '.png', base64_decode($screenshot));
    }
  }

C#

public static void TakeScreenshot(IWebDriver driver, String filename)
{
    // Take a screenshot and save it to filename
    Screenshot screenshot = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
    screenshot.SaveAsFile(filename, ImageFormat.Png);
}

Java

Using RemoteWebDriver, after augmenting the Node with screenshot capability, I would store the screenshot like so:

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

You may use this method wherever required. Then, I assume you can customize the style sheet of maven-surefire-report-plugin at surefire-reports/html/custom.css so that your reports include the link to the correct screenshot for each test?

Java

String yourfilepath = "E:\\username\\Selenium_Workspace\\foldername";

// Take a snapshort
File snapshort_file = ((TakesScreenshot) mWebDriver)
        .getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
// Copy the file into folder

FileUtils.copyFile(snapshort_file, new File(yourfilepath));

Java

public void captureScreenShot(String obj) throws IOException {
    File screenshotFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
    FileUtils.copyFile(screenshotFile, new File("Screenshots\\" + obj + "" + GetTimeStampValue() + ".png"));
}

public String GetTimeStampValue()throws IOException{
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    Date time = cal.getTime();
    String timestamp = time.toString();
    System.out.println(timestamp);
    String systime = timestamp.replace(":", "-");
    System.out.println(systime);
    return systime;
}

Using these two methods you can take a screen shot with the date and time as well.

Selenese

captureEntirePageScreenshot | /path/to/filename.png | background=#ccffdd

Python

def test_url(self):
    self.driver.get("https://www.google.com/")
    self.driver.save_screenshot("test.jpg")

It will save a screenshot in the same directory the where script is saved.

You can give a try to AShot API. It is on GitHub.

Examples of tests.

C#

You can use the following code snippet/function to take screenshot with Selenium:

    public void TakeScreenshot(IWebDriver driver, string path = @"output")
    {
        var cantakescreenshot = (driver as ITakesScreenshot) != null;
        if (!cantakescreenshot)
            return;
        var filename = string.Empty + DateTime.Now.Hour + DateTime.Now.Minute + DateTime.Now.Second + DateTime.Now.Millisecond;
        filename = path + @"\" + filename + ".png";
        var ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
        var screenshot = ss.AsBase64EncodedString;
        byte[] screenshotAsByteArray = ss.AsByteArray;
        if (!Directory.Exists(path))
            Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
        ss.SaveAsFile(filename, ImageFormat.Png);
    }

Java

A method to capture a screenshot for the failures in Selenium with TestName and Timestamp appended.

public class Screenshot{
    final static String ESCAPE_PROPERTY = "org.uncommons.reportng.escape-output";
    public static String imgname = null;

    /*
     * Method to Capture Screenshot for the failures in Selenium with TestName and Timestamp appended.
     */
    public static void getSnapShot(WebDriver wb, String testcaseName) throws Exception {
      try {
      String imgpath = System.getProperty("user.dir").concat("\\Screenshot\\"+testcaseName);
      File f = new File(imgpath);
      if(!f.exists())   {
          f.mkdir();
        }
        Date d = new Date();
        SimpleDateFormat sd = new SimpleDateFormat("dd_MM_yy_HH_mm_ss_a");
        String timestamp = sd.format(d);
        imgname = imgpath + "\\" + timestamp + ".png";

        // Snapshot code
        TakesScreenshot snpobj = ((TakesScreenshot)wb);
        File srcfile = snpobj.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        File destFile = new File(imgname);
        FileUtils.copyFile(srcfile, destFile);

      }
      catch(Exception e) {
          e.getMessage();
      }
   }

You can create a webdriverbacked selenium object using the Webdriverclass object, and then you can take a screenshot.

Python

You can capture the image from windows using the Python web driver. Use the code below which page need to capture the screenshot.

driver.save_screenshot('c:\foldername\filename.extension(png, jpeg)')

C# (Ranorex API)

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

Java

I thought I would give my full solution since there are two different ways of getting a screenshot. One is from the local browser, and one is from the remote browser. I even embed the image into the HTML report:

@After()
public void selenium_after_step(Scenario scenario) throws IOException, JSONException {

    if (scenario.isFailed()){

        scenario.write("Current URL = " + driver.getCurrentUrl() + "\n");

        try{
            driver.manage().window().maximize();  // Maximize window to get full screen for chrome
        }
        catch (org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException e){
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }

        try {
            if(isAlertPresent()){
                Alert alert = getAlertIfPresent();
                alert.accept();
            }
            byte[] screenshot;
            if(false /*Remote Driver flow*/) { // Get a screenshot from the remote driver
                Augmenter augmenter = new Augmenter();
                TakesScreenshot ts = (TakesScreenshot) augmenter.augment(driver);
                screenshot = ts.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);
            } 
            else { // Get a screenshot from the local driver
                // Local webdriver user flow
                screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);
            }
            scenario.embed(screenshot, "image/png"); // Embed the image in reports
        } 
        catch (WebDriverException wde) {
            System.err.println(wde.getMessage());
        } 
        catch (ClassCastException cce) {
            cce.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    //seleniumCleanup();
}

Selenide / Java

Here is how the Selenide project does it, making it easier than just about any other way of doing it:

import static com.codeborne.selenide.Selenide.screenshot;    
screenshot("my_file_name");

For JUnit:

@Rule
public ScreenShooter makeScreenshotOnFailure = 
     ScreenShooter.failedTests().succeededTests();

For TestNG:

import com.codeborne.selenide.testng.ScreenShooter;
@Listeners({ ScreenShooter.class})

Robot Framework

Here is a solution using Robot Framework with the [Selenium2Library][1]:

*** Settings ***
Library                        Selenium2Library

*** Test Cases ***
Example
    Open Browser               http://localhost:8080/index.html     firefox
    Capture Page Screenshot

This will save a screenshot in the working space. It is also possible to supply a filename to the keyword Capture Page Screenshot to change that behavior.

[1]: http://robotframework.org/Selenium2Library/doc/Selenium2Library.html#Capture%20Page%20Screenshot "Selenium2Library"

C# code

IWebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
File scrFile = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

// Now you can do whatever you need to do with it, for example copy somewhere
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png"));

Yes, it is possible to take a snapshot of a web page using Selenium WebDriver.

The getScreenshotAs() method provided by the WebDriver API does the work for us.

Syntax: getScreenshotAs(OutputType<X> target)

Return type: X

Parameters: target – Check the options provided by OutputType

Applicability: Not specific to any DOM element

Example:

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

Refer to the below working code snippet for more details.

public class TakeScreenShotDemo {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        driver.get(“http: //www.google.com”);

        TakesScreenshot screenshot = (TakesScreenshot) driver;

        File file = screenshot.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

        // Creating a destination file
        File destination = new File(“newFilePath(e.g.: C: \\Folder\\ Desktop\\ snapshot.png)”);

I use the following code in C# to take the full page or only a browser screenshot

        screenshot.SaveAsFile(screenShotName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
        if (driverScript.last == 1)
            this.writeResult("Sheet1", "Fail see Exception", "Status", driverScript.resultRowID);

Python

webdriver.get_screenshot_as_file(filepath)

The above method will take a screenshot and also store it as a file in the location provided as a parameter.

Yes, it is possible to take screenshots via Selenium WebDriver. I currently use Chrome Driver for snapping images of websites. Please refer the following method captureScreenshot().

You can also add restriction towards web driver, such as

• use headless version of web browser
• disable notification when page loads
• start full screen, etc.

If a website is equipped with Alert Box, your web driver will not be able to capture screenshot since exception will be thrown. In that scenario you need to close the alert box and then get the screenshot. Following code fragment does the closing of alert box.

    public void captureScreenshot() throws InterruptedException, IOException {

        System.out.println("Creating Chrome Driver");

        // Set Chrome Driver
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "D:\\chromedriver.exe");

        // Add arguments to Chrome Options
        ChromeOptions chromeOptions = new ChromeOptions();
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--headless");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("start-maximized");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--start-fullscreen");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-popup-blocking");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--disable-notifications");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--window-size=1920,1080");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--no-sandbox");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("--dns-prefetch-disable");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("enable-automation");
        chromeOptions.addArguments("disable-features=NetworkService");

        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(chromeOptions);
        driver.get("https://www.google.com");
        System.out.println("Wait a bit for the page to render");
        TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(5);
        System.out.println("Taking Screenshot");
        File outputFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        String imageDetails = "D:\\Images";
        File screenShot = new File(imageDetails).getAbsoluteFile();
        FileUtils.copyFile(outputFile, screenShot);
        System.out.println("Screenshot saved: {}" + imageDetails);
    }
}

In order to accept Alert Box and Get Screenshot:

String alertText = alert.getText();
System.out.println("ERROR: (ALERT BOX DETECTED) - ALERT MSG : " + alertText);
alert.accept();
File outputFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
String imageDetails = "D://Images"
File screenShot = new File(imageDetails).getAbsoluteFile();
FileUtils.copyFile(outputFile, screenShot);
System.out.println("Screenshot saved: {}" + imageDetails);
driver.close();

Java

For newer version of Java, the FileUtils function doesn't work. Here the following function worked perfectly for screenshot copying.

import java.io.File;
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.io.FileHandler;

File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
File destfile = new File(destination folder /filename.extension);
FileHandler.copy(scrfile, destfile);

/**
 * Take a screenshot and move to the given folder location.
 *
 * @param driver
 * @param folderLocation
 * @return screenShotFilePath
 */
public static String captureScreenshot(WebDriver driver, String folderLocation) {

    // Variable to store screenshot's file path.
    String screenShotFilePath = null;

    // Generate unique id for screen shot name.
    String uniqueId = UUID.randomUUID().toString().substring(31);

    if (driver != null) {

        // Generate screenshot as a file
        File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

        // New screenshot file path with having file name
        screenShotFilePath = folderLocation + File.separator + uniqueId + ".png";

        // Move file to the destination location.
        FileUtils.moveFile(scrFile, new File(screenShotFilePath));
    }

    return screenShotFilePath;
}

Using C# and MSTestframework, Here I have created a static method. Taken a path where I can store the images as jpeg format. to make more clear I am naming those screen shots with current Executing Testcases and date and time of the failure.

          /// <summary>
            /// This method is used to screen shot where test method failed 
            /// </summary>
            /// <param name="testCase">TestCaseName</param>
            public static void Capture(string testCase)
            {
                try
                {
                    StringBuilder path = new StringBuilder("C:/Logs/Screenshot/");
                    Constant.screenshot = ((ITakesScreenshot)Constant.browser).GetScreenshot();
                    string fileName = path.Append(string.Format(testCase + "-at-{0:yyyy-MM dd_hh-mm-ss}.jpeg", DateTime.Now)).ToString();
                    Constant.screenshot.SaveAsFile(fileName, ScreenshotImageFormat.Jpeg);
                }
                catch (Exception e)
                {
                    File.AppendAllText("C:/Logs/FailedTestCasesLogs.txt", "\nCOULD NOT CAPTURE THE SCREENSHOT!\n");
                    Log(e);
                }
    
            }

You can take screenshot of webpage visible portion in browser as:

First import:

import java.io.File;
import com.google.common.io.Files;

Then

File src=((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenShotAs(OutputType.FILE);
Files.copy(src,new File("new path/pic.jpeg"));

Plus after Selenium4 you can also take screenshot of webelement as:

WebElement element=driver.findElement(By.xpath("xpath 
 here"));
File src=element.getScreenShotAs(OutputType.FILE);
File.copy(src,new File("new path/pic.jpeg"));

JAVA

Hi, you can take screenshot in selenium and here is the code given below with the help of which you can create screenshot in any selenium project and we can also generate screenshots for the failed scenario's in aws too.

    public boolean takeScreenshot(final String name) {
    String screenshotDirectory = System.getenv("WORKING_DIRECTORY");
    File screenshot = 
    ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
    return screenshot.renameTo(new File(screenshotDirectory, 
    String.format("%s.png", name)));
    }

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.maven.surefire.shade.org.apache.maven.shared.utils.io.FileUtils;
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
/**
 * @author Jagdeep Jain

 */
public class ScreenShotMaker {
	
	// take screen shot on the test failures
	public void takeScreenShot(WebDriver driver, String fileName) {
		File screenShot = ((TakesScreenshot) driver)
				.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
		try {
			FileUtils.copyFile(screenShot, new File("src/main/webapp/screen-captures/" + fileName + ".png"));

		} catch (IOException ioe) {
			throw new RuntimeException(ioe.getMessage(), ioe);
		}
	}
