Automating a Browser

As a beginner like me, you will be very keen to take screenshots of a specific page. Here is a simple script for taking a screenshot of any URL. I have used "http://www.flipkart.com/" as my URL.

package login;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;

public class Screen_shot
{

    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
    {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        // Initialize WebDriver
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();
        // Wait For Page To Load

        driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
        // Go to URL
        driver.get("http://www.flipkart.com/");
        // Maximize Window
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        // Take ScreenShot
        File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
        FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("D:\\selenium\\screenshot1.png"), true);
        // Close Driver
        driver.quit();
    }
}

The following are a few points with images.

• For the preceding image you need to Import this package only [ 'FileUtlis' (org.apache.commons.io) ]
• After completion of the script, the PNG file will be stored in your given location. I have given [ "D:\\selenium\\screenshot1.png" ]. Here is the screen shot below.

• The file has been saved in the "png" format as specified in the script. We can save the image in various other file types, like PNG, JPEG, GIF or BMP.

I hope this helps Beginners like me. :)
