Taking Screenshot of nature using Camera

n

nSolution:-We would achieve it using the TakeScreenshot Interface.
n
nSyntax:-
n
n1.Capture Screenshot

n

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

n

nOutputType.FILE:- We have used Interface Output and we have taken the screenshot as “File” type
nwe can also take screenshot as Byte and  base64 data
nExample:-

n

String screenshotBase64 = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.base64);

n

ngetScreenshotAs:– Method that Captures the screenshot
nsScreenshot:- It holds a temporary  file that will be deleted once the JVM exits. Thus in the next step we would be saving this file.
n
n2.Saving Screenshot by making a copy of this file.
n
nCreating the Copy of Screenshot file and Saving it on required destination path and with given name.For this we have used copyFile(source,target) method of the FileUtils class
n

n

FileUtils.copyFile(sScreenShot, new File("E:\screenshot.jpg"))

n

Code:-

n

import java.io.File;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.AfterTest;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;
public class ScreenShot {
 private static WebDriver driver; @Test
 public void launch() throws Exception {
 //Luanch browser
 driver = new FirefoxDriver();
 driver.manage().window().maximize();
 driver.get("http://www.uftHelp.com");
 //Making the code to fail
 try{
 driver.findElement(By.id("uftHelp")).sendKeys("Selenium"); }
 catch (Exception e){
 //Capture Screenshot on error. ScreenShot(); } } 
 //Function to capture Screenshot
 public void ScreenShot() throws Exception {
 //Taking the Screenshot
 File sScreenShot = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
 //Saving the Screenshot
 FileUtils.copyFile(sScreenShot,new File("E:\screenshot.jpg")); } @AfterTest
 public void afterTest() {
 //Closing the browser
 driver.quit();   }}

nOutput:-
nWe can open the path and observe the created screenshot.
