Selenium Screencapture

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

If you get this error: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsILocalFile.initWithPath] foll. is the solution:

selenium.capture_entire_page_screenshot works only with absolute path for eg.,

self.sel.capture_entire_page_screenshot("C:\\out.png,"background=#CCFFDD") - for windows

self.sel.capture_entire_page_screenshot("/Users/abc/tests/testresults/out.png,"background=#CCFFDD") - for Mac

Alternatively,capture_screenshot can be used which takes relative path. Tested the foll. in both Mac and windows. Drawback is, it doesn't get the entire page. Just gets the visible portion of the webpage :(

self.sel.capture_screenshot("testresults/out.png")
