Hi there, I’ve run a several test suites and no screenshot is taken when test failed. I’ve tried to find any workaround, but without success. ![](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/s2/pdq7e3niy0jn.png "Image: https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/s2/pdq7e3niy0jn.png") When I use: ```auto WebUI.takeScreenshot ``` it works OK, but I need to perform this action only if test failed. Video is recorded OK. Any ideas? I cannot find anything usefull on forums or documentation… [image.png](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/s2/pdq7e3niy0jn.png) [aaa.png](https://s3.amazonaws.com/katalon-forum/editor/k7/xq456bckfw0b.png) ---

Hello community its a bug, but I have solved for it Step to fix it : 1. Default true for this option screenshot on fail 2. Create new project / open existing 3. Create one sample test case 4. Drag this into test suite 5. Do fail in test case (\*3) eg. WebUI.Check in text input 6. Run this test suite 7. See result in raports - no screenshot 8. Go again into Settings uncheck option screenshot fail 9. Run test suite 10. raports ? no screenshot ! 11. Go again into yo options - now check again (true) option screenshot fail 12. Run test sutie 13. Work brushy brushy good you can find png file, screenhot in pdf / html etc. yu welcom ---

HI Team, I am using the katalon version 7.3.0. I am able to find the screenshot for failed test cases and I able to take the folder/log path of the captured screenshot. But on what basis screenshot name is generating. I am finding the captured screenshot starts with numbers and not relates to date and time stamps. Could you please suggest how this screenshot file is generating. Thanks ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/katalon/original/2X/2/269fb2f4d1031bedf372f0ba26c40c215174f5e6.png) ---

I am using Katalon Studio 7.5.5. The option ‘take screenshot on failure’ just works on test cases failed by click object or set text…the screenshots appears in report folder. Test cases failed at verify step (eg: WebUI.verifyEqual(a,b)) will not generate screenshot. in my case, i want to capture screen on failure at verify step, i add ‘FailureHandling.CONTINUE\_ON\_FAILURE’ and put ‘WebUI.takeScreenshot(‘test/demo.png’)’ in the end of my script. it worked ---

> [@1753102](#): > > Test cases failed at verify step (eg: WebUI.verifyEqual(a,b)) will not generate screenshot. [verifyEqual(Number a, Number b)](https://docs.katalon.com/katalon-studio/docs/common-verify-equal.html#description) does not require TestObject as argument. In other words, verifyEqual() has nothing to do with browsers. It should run without opening browser at all. For example, the following 2 lines is a valid Test Case (though useless). ```auto import com.kms.katalon.core.webui.keyword.WebUiBuiltInKeywords as WebUI WebUI.verifyEqual(10, 999) ``` Here we have no browser opened background, therefore it makes sense that a failure at `verifyEqual(x,y)` does not take a screenshot; as it is impossible to take a screenshot without a browser being opened. There are a few other built-in `verify*` keywords that do not take TestObject as argument. These will not take screenshot at failure: - [https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-studio-testing-framework/tree/master/Include/scripts/groovy/com/kms/katalon/core/keyword/builtin](https://github.com/katalon-studio/katalon-studio-testing-framework/tree/master/Include/scripts/groovy/com/kms/katalon/core/keyword/builtin) * * * If you want KS to take screenshot on Keyword failure, you should choose those keywords which take a TestObject as argument, for example `verifyText(TestObject)`, `verifyElementPresent(TestObject)` ---
