Why is there no option to take screenshot after each step automatically during web UI automation?
There is option to take screenshot on failed step, but I need to take screenshots for all steps?. I see older posts but no resolution.
Does anyone have a solution for it?
There is the option to “Enable Video Recorder During Execution”. A video is just a collection of still frames, isn’t it?
And, how about:
WebUI.takeScreenShot()
even better, make use of a Global Variable and save your screen shots in a specific TC folder:
GlobalVariable.gReportPathway = ".\\Reports\\Screenshots\\MyTestCase\\"
WebUI.takeScreenShot(GlobalVariable.gReportPathway + "screenshot1.png")
As well, if you can program, then maybe you can do something like kazurayam has done below:
Because nobody would use it, perhaps.
Automated screenshooting for every single steps will more annoy you than help. It would take far longer time to run a Test Case with automated-screenshooting; as taking a screenshot requires a few seconds (say 5 seconds) each. If your Test Case has 40 steps, then running it would take 3 minutes longer. Also you would have to spend long hours to look up a single valuable image out of dozens of garbages. A PNG image file occupies so much disk space (e.g, 2 mega bytes) that you would have to swipe the garbages away manually.
You should focus tight when taking a screenshot.
