Getting WebDriverException when using AShot in my project to capture a webelement

[abhishekkyd]

Hi AShot Team,

When I am executing below Java program, I am getting WebDriver Exception for takescreenshot method. Please look into the issue and help me to resolve this. I am using AShot version 1.4.12

System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",
                "src/main/resources/drivers/chromedriver");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
        driver.manage().window().maximize();

        driver.get("http://www.bbc.com");
        Thread.sleep(10000);

        WebElement element = driver
                .findElement(By.cssSelector("#worldService"));

        final Screenshot screenshot = new AShot().shootingStrategy(
                new ViewportPastingStrategy(500)).takeScreenshot(driver,
                element);
        final BufferedImage image = screenshot.getImage();
        ImageIO.write(image, "PNG", new File(System.getProperty("user.home")
                + "/Documents/AShot_BBC_WebElement.png"));

        driver.quit();

Exception:

Hi. I see that you are using JqueryCoordsProvider(as default). This provider requires jQuery to be included on page. In this case you can use WebDriverCoordsProvider.

new AShot().coordsProvider(new WebDriverCoordsProvider) ...;

[shahankit783]

The above code i.e.
final Screenshot screenshot = new AShot().coordsProvider(new WebDriverCoordsProvider()).takeScreenshot(driver);
will capture only the current visible screen picture in Chrome browser. It will work fine for Firefox browser.

I import ashot-1.5.3.jar, when run the test with below keyword, got "ERROR] - unknown error: $ is not defined".
Below is the keyword method:

class ScreenshotHelper {
@Keyword
public void takeWebElementScreenshot(TestObject object) {
WebElement element = WebUiCommonHelper.findWebElement(object, 20)
WebDriver driver = DriverFactory.getWebDriver();
Screenshot screenshot = new AShot().takeScreenshot(driver, element);
}
}
