Question

how to take screenshot in selenium

Answer 1

In order to capture a screenshot in Selenium, one has to utilize the method TakesScreenshot. This notifies WebDrive that it should take a screenshot in Selenium and store it.

File file = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
String screenshotBase64 = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BASE64);

Depending on the browser being used, the TakesScreenshot method can return the following:

• The entire page
• The current open window
• The visible segment of the current frame
• The whole display containing the browser
• The complete content of the HTML element. This essentially refers to the visible portion of the HTML element.
