Selenium RC how make screenshot of html code while tests execution? - html

Question

I use selenium RC. My tests are failed after waiForPageToLoad() method. It doesn't find element on the page. I see on my browser what page is still loading while waiForPageToLoad() "said" that page is already loaded. How can I check how looks my HTML code just after waiForPageToLoad() method finished its execution?
One more thing. In one of occasions Element which sould be finded after waiForPageToLoad() is between the
<h1><script language="Javascript" </script>
<a id="some" class="some" onclick="">Text</a>
Text
</h1>
So could be that page is loaded but javascript is not yet executed. How to fix this?

Answer 1

1) waiForPageToLoad() does not prove that you have all elements on the page. It is better to use waitForElementPresent, or check isElementPresent to find out if the element is on the page.
2) you did not mention what language you use in RC.
if java - you may use
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Rectangle;
import java.awt.Robot;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
...
public void captureScreen(String fileName) throws Exception {
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Rectangle screenRectangle = new Rectangle(screenSize);
Robot robot = new Robot();
BufferedImage image = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRectangle);
ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File(fileName));
}
if C#:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using System.Threading;
using NUnit.Framework;
using Selenium;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
namespace SeleniumTests
{
[TestFixture]
public class ImageCapture
{
private ISelenium selenium;
private StringBuilder verificationErrors;
public static string CaptureScreenshot()
{
Bitmap bmpScreenshot = new Bitmap(1024, 768, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
Graphics Screenshot = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenshot);
Screenshot.CopyFromScreen(0, 0, 0, 0, new Size(1024, 768));
string name = (System.Convert.ToString(System.DateTime.Now).Replace("/", "_")).Replace(":", "_") + ".jpg";
bmpScreenshot.Save(name, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
return name;
}
3) if you develop in java - consider using Sikuli. It is a tool that works with images on the screen (you may use as java library). You may combine Selenium and Sikuli to get fantastic flexibility and functionality.
