Selenium Python Tutorial #32 - How to Capture Screenshot in Selenium

In this Selenium Python Tutorial, we will learn how to capture screenshot in selenium. When doing automation you need to take screenshots at many places like on failures or specific verification points so that you can see where the failure has happened and can debug it easily.

Selenium python provides built-in methods that you can use to capture screenshots.

get_screenshot_as_file(filename) - Saves a screenshot of the current window to a PNG image file. Returns False if there is any IOError, else returns True. Use full paths in your filename.

save_screenshot(filename) - Saves a screenshot of the current window to a PNG image file. Returns
False if there is any IOError, else returns True. Use full paths in your filename.

screenshot(filename) - Saves a screenshot of the current element to a PNG image file. Returns
False if there is any IOError, else returns True. Use full paths in your filename.
