How to capture Screenshot in Selenium2 using Java, need to capture popup window with its parent window(Browser) when browser is minimized

Question

I tried using Robot class with BufferedImage screenImage = robot.createScreenCapture(screenRect) but it captures the active Screen only. Consider the Browser(Firefox) launched by Webdriver is minimized then this method doesn't capture Browser screen, instead it captures the active screen.

Answer 1

Please try below code if you are working with webdriver & java. It will capture the screenshot.

File ScreenShot = ((TakesScreenshot) driver)
        .getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
StringBuilder FileName = new StringBuilder("Path or FolderLocation");
FileName.append(ScreenshotFirstName);
FileName.append("_");
FileName.append(dateFormat.format(date).toString());
FileName.append(".jpeg");
FileUtils.copyFile(ScreenShot, new File(FileName.toString()));

It will save the screenshot file with date and time appended to it and to a specific folder location.
