No screenshots in 1.0.45 with Chrome driver #50

hwellmann · 2015-04-21T08:48:02Z

After upgrading from 1.0.23 to 1.0.45, I no longer get any screenshots. I'm using the Chrome driver, configured via webdriver.driver in serenity.properties.

Stepping through the code, I can see that BaseStepListener.take() gets hit, but BaseStepListener.browserIsOpen() returns false, since proxiedWebDriver is null in WebDriverFacade so that no screenshot is taken.

I also observed two instances of WebDriverFacade being created, one for an empty/default driver (i.e. firefox) and another one for chrome, which might be the root cause - hope that helps.

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Issue still exists with 1.0.47

Please have a look

From the error message I think this is a Chrome or Chrome-driver related
issue. Could you see if screenshots work in raw Selenium (create a simple
test that opens a URL and takes a screenshot)?

Hi John,

please find below 2 updates

UPDATE 1:

import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;

public class testDriver {

@Test
public void startSite(){
     String url = "https://lovemusic.se";
     WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
     driver.get(url);
     String title = driver.getTitle();

     File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

    try {
        FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("screenshot.png"));
    } catch (IOException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }

     System.out.println("The title of " + url + " is: " + title);
     driver.quit();
}

}

UPDATE 2:

But other observation is , say I've 70+ test case and only in some cases framework fails to take screen shot and not all cases.

Please let me know if I can debug further and give more info

Thanks & Regards,
Vikram

Hi John,

Sorry for not searching in bug list earlier.

You're absolutely right , it is issue with selenium itself
https://code.google.com/p/chromedriver/issues/detail?id=1083

Hopefully they will release a new version sooner.

Regards,
Vikram

wakaleo · 2015-05-07T12:52:05Z

Thanks Vikram for confirming this - I'll close this issue then.

rakeshnambiar · 2017-05-05T16:08:16Z

Is this issue resolved? I am not able to take the screenshot.
(Session info: chrome=58.0.3029.96)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.29.461591 (platform=Windows NT 10.0.14393 x86_64)

chrome.switches=--disable-extensions,--test-type,--start-maximized,--incognito,--enable-automation

wakaleo · 2017-05-05T16:55:32Z

Yes, the latest version of Chrome works fine with Serenity 1.2.x

Nolyurn · 2018-02-23T11:13:40Z

Newbie to Selenium and Serenity,
I had the same problem using Serenity for steps but program as Selenium way.
It seem that using PageObject solved my problem.

See more about page object in Serenity documentation
http://thucydides.info/docs/serenity-staging/
And on github
