Screenshot with Selenium WebDriver

Question

I’m working on a code using Selenium Webdriver Java and TestNG. How can I take a screenshot using Boolean

public boolean test()throws Exception  {}

Below are the steps I used but it is showing error:

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"));

The error is showing in this line for the copyFile as

The method copyFile(File, File) is

undefined for the type FileUtils

 FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png"));

Answer 1

Try the below code:

import java.io.File;

import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;

import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;



public  class Test {

public void screenShot() {

    // driver is your WebDriver

    File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) driver)

                            .getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

    FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File(fileName));

}

}

copyFile method not getting in selenium

Check if you have import FileUtils, it's an apache commons library, you need to download the jar if not yet in your workspace.
