Update
Thank you to @HeleneB for helping me find the solution. For my script I got it to fully work with
WebUI.takeScreenshot('C:\\Users\\61352\\Pictures\\ExpectedBehavior\\screenshot.png')

Make sure you add the “Screenshot.png” to give the file a name.

Hi

https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/webui-take-screenshot.html#description-
The parameter have to be a file name

3

Is this not the correct format? Am I missing something on this line?

4

Check the doc link, one example is :

WebUI.takeScreenshot('E:\\screenshot.png')

one other

WebUI.takeScreenshot('Test/Demo.png')

File names, not directory

I added the
WebUI.takeScreenshot() code to my script, and it on the Screenshot page it mentioned it was going to the temp folder. Do you know where that lives? I’ve been searching through the Katalon folder for it.

So, use example #3 from the doc

  1. You want to take a screenshot of the current browser after logging in and store it current project by using relative paths.

But Temp folder is C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp on Windows

7

Nevermind I got it! So in order to save a screenshot in a certain directory

Example:
C:\\User\\61352\\Pictures\\ExpectedBehavior\\screenshot.png
