How to simulate Print screen button using selenium webdriver in Java?

We can simulate a Print screen button with Selenium. The screenshot is captured with the Print screen button. Capturing a screenshot is a three way process. It is an important step towards failure analysis.

We shall convert the driver object to TakeScreenshot interface.

Syntax

TakesScreenshot s = (TakesScreenshot)driver;

Then, with the getScreenshotAs method we shall have an image file and copy that file to a location with FileUtils.copyFile method.

Syntax

File sp=s.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); FileUtils.copyFile(sp, new File("path of image file"));

Example

import org.openqa.selenium.By; import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType; import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot; import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils; import java.io.File; public class PrintScreenSimulate {    public static void main(String[] args) {       System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver",       "C:\Users\ghs6kor\Desktop\Java\chromedriver.exe");       WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();       driver.get("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm");       // screenshot capturing       File src = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);       FileUtils.copyFile(src, new File("logopage.png"));       driver.quit();    } }
