How to take screenshots using Selenium

For your convenience and for debugging purposes, we gathered the relevant syntax for the different supported programming languages to show how to capture screenshots using Selenium:

Java:

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(); 
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png"));

Python:

#!/usr/bin/env python
from selenium import webdriver

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com/')
browser.save_screenshot('c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png')
browser.quit()

Ruby:

require 'rubygems'
require 'selenium-webdriver'

driver = Selenium::WebDriver.for :firefox 
driver.get "https://www.google.com"   
driver.save_screenshot("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png")

JavaScript:

driver.takeScreenshot().then(function(data){
   var base64Data = data.replace(/^data:image\/png;base64,/,"")
   fs.writeFile("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png", base64Data, 'base64', function(err) {
        if(err) console.log(err);
   });
});

public void TakeScreenshot()
{
    try
    {            
        Screenshot ss = ((ITakesScreenshot)driver).GetScreenshot();
        ss.SaveAsFile(@"C:\\tmp\\screenshot.png", ImageFormat.png);
    }catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
        throw;
    }
}
