taking snapshots of browser windows

lausser

Hi,
i wanted to share what i just set up.

function takeShapshot() {
   var $scriptPath = ('' + ScriptRunner.getScript().getFilePath());
   if ($scriptPath.search(/\\/)) { // Windows
     var $arrScriptPath = $scriptPath.split(/\\/);
   } else {
     var $arrScriptPath = $scriptPath.split(/\//);
   }
   var $testScript = $arrScriptPath.pop().replace(/\.sah/,'');
   var $now = new Date();
   var $snapfile = $testScript + '_' +
       $now.getFullYear() + '_' +
       String("0" + $now.getMonth() + 1).slice(-2) + '_' +
       String("0" + $now.getDay()).slice(-2) + '__' +
       String("0" + $now.getHours()).slice(-2) + '_' +
       String("0" + $now.getMinutes()).slice(-2) + '_' +
       String("0" + $now.getSeconds()).slice(-2) + '.jpg';
   // this gives you a filename like <scriptname>_2009_04_09__14_59_12.jpg
   // the date/time would ideally be the same as the protocol file
   // first i wanted to use this:  
   //var $snapfilefile = _callServer("net.sf.sahi.util.Utils.createLogFileName") + '.jpg';
   // but i didn't manage it to work
  _execute('\"C:/Program Files/IrfanView/i_view32.exe\" /capture=2 ' +  '/convert=C:\\\\Users\\nagios\\\\sahi\\\\snapshots\\\\' + $snapfile);
}

You need the excellent image processing tool from www.irfanview.com for this. Now when you call snapshot() in your tests, you'll find a picture of the failed page in your snapshots/ directory.
There's another thread about how to get browser windows to execute in the foreground.

Wow! Thats great work done

Thanks for the reply to my "_callServer"-post. This makes the function simpler and the screenshot's filename now corresponds to the logfile.

function takeShapshot() {
   var $testScript = ('' + ScriptRunner.getScript().getScriptName()).replace(/\.sah/,'');
   var $snapfile = Packages.net.sf.sahi.util.Utils.createLogFileName($testScript) + '.jpg';
  _execute('\"C:/Program Files/IrfanView/i_view32.exe\" /capture=2 ' + '/convert=C:\\\\Users\\nagios\\\\sahi\\\\snapshots\\\\' + $snapfile);
}

e.g. app_web_naprax_contact_check_feedback__09Apr2009__18_33_30.jpg

Can anyone post the java equivalent for the above implementation please ?

Also, is it possible that this code would work even if:
1. The browser window is minimized
2. There are multiple instances of the browser open.
Would it capture the exact screen where the error was caused.

Thanks,
Ajay

is there another way in taking snapshots..,, and it can be shown on log reports???

Hi benj0143,

Have a look at : http://sahi.co.in/forums/viewtopic.php?id=1200

Also, there is a API called

_takeSnapShot(); and

_takeSnapShots(toggle); which will take snapshot and show it on the log reports.This is available only in Sahi Pro version.

lausser: Your code works fine for me when I playback a sahi script from Sahi-pro controller. But when I try to execute the script from a Java program no images are getting captured. What could be the reason for this? My Java code:-

import java.io.IOException;

import net.sf.sahi.test.TestRunner;

public class SahiScriptLauncher {

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub


final String suiteName = "path_to / abcd.sah"; //consider here a path to file

final String browserType = "chrome";

String base = "url"; //consider an actual url here

String threads = "1";

TestRunner testRunner = new TestRunner(suiteName, browserType, base, threads);

String status = testRunner.execute();



}

}
