Selenium Webdriver - Capture URL in screenshot using Robot

Question

Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage screenShot = robot.createScreenCapture(new 
Rectangle(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize()));
ImageIO.write(screenShot, "JPG", new File("ScreenShot.jpg"));

This code will capture the screenshot of whatever is present on the desktop screen when test cases fail. But I need to take screenshot of chromedriver browser screen with URL. How can I capture the error scenario in selenium?

Write the current URL to an error log that accompanies the screenshot. — JeffC, Jul 28 '17 at 16:07

Normal way to get screenshot

WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

// Now you can do whatever you need to do with it, for example copy somewhere
FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("c:\\tmp\\screenshot.png"));

if you need failing scenario exits to capture a screen shot you can check this post How to capture Server Error Pages using selenium Web driver

For taking screenshot using robot your window must be visible if not Robot won't help – kvizer Jul 28 '17 at 13:47

Chrome driver appears to be an issue for fullsize screenshots. You can see that people have written a work around here

Or you can reference the screenshot here
