Selenium Interview Questions | PART-6 | Different ways to take screenshot | Tamil

Taking screenshot is one of the very important things in selenium automation. Screenshot gives us a better understanding of where the issue has happened. Suppose if we are doing headless testing then screenshots are the only way of identifying the issue with related to UI. There are two ways where we can take a screenshot. One is TakesScreenShot Interface provided by Selenium itself. The problem with this built-in option is, it can take the snap on only a particular portion but not the entire screen. If there are any alerts present on the screen and if we want to take the screenshot then, TakesScreenshot is not suitable. We can use the Robot class's createScreenCapture method to capture the full-screen screenshot.
Steps to take Screenshot using TakesScreenshot interface:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Using Selenium's TakesScreenshot
2. call GetScreenshotAs method and store it in a file
3. Create an image file in any location
4. copy the screenshot in destinationFile (image) file, using FileUtils.(commons-io) or we can use Selenium's FileHandler as well to copy the file.
Steps to take Screenshot using Robot class:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Create an object of Robot class.
2) Get the screen size and store.
3) Use the Rectangle class and pass the screen size.
4) Use createScreenCapture(rectangle) of Robot class and capture screenshot. (source)
5) Define destination path file for the screenshot.
6) Write temp file into the destination file. (ImageIO)

Hi Arul, Thank you so much. You played a vital role to teaching this automation for easy understandable method. I have seen your videos. Your Live Example is fantabulous. Whenever we perform that method or try to put coding means that examples comes in mind for easy way of execution. Thanks a lot!!!

thanks a lot Tanya and sorry you couldn't make the most out of my videos due to language constraint. I believe, only the examples which am sharing will be difficult, but the coding part, even if there is no audio, you can grab I guess.

Hi Bro. I have one ques. I want to run multiple test case n I want to take screenshot too. So each cases I have to mention the name like D://sample.png

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

When do you want to take a screenshot, when the test case fails? Watch extent report video in my channel. Search for extent report in my channel search button. Not the KZbin search. To run multiple test cases, you have to know TestNG. If you're not familiar with it, watch the TestNG playlist.

[@TheMadhiarasan]

@@LearnAutomationOnline extend report is not displayed anywhere. Yep I tried all the videos TestNg.Nw I m familiar in TestNg🙏🙏

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Extend report is only one video. If multiple videos only, I'm making it as playlist. Please search extend report, in my channel search. Not the KZbin search on top. This way you can find videos. Let me know if you don't find it. Wil share the link.

[@TheMadhiarasan]

@@LearnAutomationOnline Ya Got it bro.U mentioned as Creating beautiful report using extent report. Thank u so much.🙏

bro if the interviewer asks can we get the full page screenshot by maximizing the window by using TakesScreenshot what to answer bro kindly reply

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

Even if you maximize, there’s no surety that it’s going to be full page screenshot. In the screenshot video I have explained one more way

[@SantoshKumar-zc8gt]

@@LearnAutomationOnline ok bro thanks for your reply I got clear clarity

[@thinakaranrajendran2666]

Can we use robot.keypress to get screen shot?

[@LearnAutomationOnline]

I have made a video on taking screenshot with robot class. This may help you. But if you are asking whether if we can take screenshots via pressing print screen button, it's complex. Robot class has a dedicated way to take screenshots. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6q2mImri9GDoc0

Python has built in methods to take screenshot. We don't have to use selenium. Python itself is having options. Screenshot I think the method name.
