How to make the screenshot of the entire display containing the browser using webdriver?

Question

Does anybody know how to make full screenshot of display using webdriver? In Selenium documentation I read that it is possible: (http://selenium.googlecode.com/git/docs/api/java/org/openqa/selenium/TakesScreenshot.html)

..

The screenshot of the entire display containing the browser

..

I use Selenium Grid. My hub is on linux and node on windows. I tried to use Robot, however it takes screenshot on linux, however needs on windows

Answer 1

If you want a screenshot of your currently running browser instance then you can do it using following code:

  public static void captureScreen(WebDriver driver, String screenshotFileName)
    {
        String screenshotsFile = screenshotsFolder+screenshotFileName+imageExtention;

        try {
            File screenShot = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
            FileUtils.copyFile(screenShot, new File(screenshotsFile));
        } catch (IOException e) {

        }
    }

But if you want to take screenshot of your active window (other than browser only) then you can use Robot class.

You need to use FirefoxDriver to screenshot whole page. Chrome and IE doesn't support it.
