WebElement#getScreenShotAs(OutputType.File) not working
The real reason for the error is that many / most WebDriver implementations do not actually support element-based screenshots, despite WebElement
extending TakesScreenshot
since 2.47.0. Perhaps someday this will change.
If you want screenshots you need to do them at the whole-browser level, in which case - as other answers have it - you need to pass the WebDriver
instance.
File ssFile = ((TakesScreenshot)(driver)).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
Strictly speaking you should probably do the following, since not all Drivers are guaranteed to support screenshots, e.g. HtmlUnitDriver
.
if (!(getDriver() instanceof TakesScreenshot)) { File ssFile = ((TakesScreenshot)(driver)).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); // ...}
There are alternate solutions for single-element screenshots, but they inevitably involve cropping of the full-browser screenshot. See, for example: https://stackoverflow.com/a/13834607/954442
Update: just to clarify that this is not a bug, it's that although element screenshots are a part of the W3C WebDriver spec, different browsers have different levels of compliance/coverage, and as far as I know this feature is only supported by Microsoft Edge.
Dont Import these lib from Suggestions,
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Response.OutputType;
import org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.Response.OutputType;
Import these lib.
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
It should be something like this.
File screenS = ((TakesScreenshot)(driver)).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);FileUtils.copyFile(screenS, new File("C:\\akshay\\del\\screenshots\\1.jpg"));
replace the above code with
element.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); File destination=new File("Image.png"); FileUtils.copyFile(null, destination);
