Capturing Screenshot in Parallel Execution of TestCases in Selenium Webdriver

Question

I m using Page Object Model (POM) Design Pattern and Selenium Webdriver. I want to catch the screenshot when assertion fails in Catch block as shown below

try{
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/table[2]/form/table/tbody/tr/td/font"));
        String strngAcc = element.getText();
        System.out.println(strngAcc);
        AssertJUnit.assertEquals("Account Information Created Successfully",strngAcc);

        }
        catch(WebDriverException ex) {


          // Take **Screen Shot** here by Calling ScreenShot Capture Method


        }

Does Screenshot Capture works in Parallel Execution ?

Help me in providing the screenshot capture method and calling the same in Catch block

Does it not work in parallel execution with the method mentioned by Praveen? — Seanny123, Nov 22 '13 at 07:00
Screen Shot works in parallel execution with / without using grid based on the POM Automation Architechture you are using — Harshavardhan Konakanchi, Nov 24 '13 at 04:08

As praveen mentioned, you can get the screenshots in catch block. In case if you are running in the grid, the Remotewebdriver need to be augmented.

Create a webdriver object called driver and augment the remote driver to the local drive.

WebDriver  driver= new Augmenter.augment( RDriver);
( (TakesScreenshot)driver ).getScreenshotAs( ... );

Where RDriver is your remoteWebDriver.

hope this would help you

try{
        WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//html/body/table[2]/form/table/tbody/tr/td/font"));
        String strngAcc = element.getText();
        System.out.println(strngAcc);
        AssertJUnit.assertEquals("Account Information Created Successfully",strngAcc);

        }
        catch(WebDriverException ex) {


          // Take **Screen Shot** here by Calling ScreenShot Capture Method
          ScreenShot.takeScreenShot(driver, "AccountTest", "createAccount");

}

and ScreenShot Method is as below which Is used for Both Sequential Execution and Parallel Execution

       static Properties prop = null;
       public static void takeScreenShot(WebDriver driver, String className,
        String methodName) {

    try {

        prop = PropertiesLoader.getPropertiesLoader();
        File scrnsht=null;
        String isSequential = prop.getProperty("isSequential");
        if (isSequential.equalsIgnoreCase("true")) {
            scrnsht = ((TakesScreenshot) driver)
                    .getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);


        } else {

            WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
            scrnsht = ((TakesScreenshot) augmentedDriver)
                    .getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

        }

            Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat(
            "yyyy/MMM/dd HH:mm:ss");
    String date = formatter.format(currentDate.getTime()).replace(
            "/", "_");
    String dateFormatetd = dateN.replace(":", "_");
    FileUtils.copyFile(scrnsht, new File(
            "D:\\SeleniumScreenShots\\" + className + "\\"
                    + methodName + dateFormatted + ".png"));

P.S : The ScreenShot Capture Used here is Driver Level and Not the Desktop Level
