Selenium webdriver screenshot not being taken from django
Question: I have a functional test 'y1.py' which I have exported from the selenium IDE.
It looks like:

    
    
    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
    from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
    import unittest, time, re    
    
    class Y1(unittest.TestCase):
        def setUp(self):
            self.driver = webdriver.Firefox()
            self.driver.implicitly_wait(30)
            self.base_url = "https://www.yahoo.com/"
            self.verificationErrors = []
            self.accept_next_alert = True
    
        def test_y1(self):
            driver = self.driver
            driver.get(self.base_url)
            driver.find_element_by_link_text("Weather").click()
            driver.save_screenshot('out11.png')    
    
        def tearDown(self):
            self.driver.quit()
            self.assertEqual([], self.verificationErrors)    
    
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        unittest.main()
    

I have created a django app 'fts' and have placed the script in 'fts/tests.py.
I added the line:

    
    
    driver.save_screenshot('out11.png') 
    

to the end to get a screenshot.

When I run the script from the command line using:

    
    
    $ python manage.py test fts
    

the test passes but no screenshot is taken. How can I fix this?


Answer: I personally use `get_screenshot_as_file` instead, this is my code :

    
    
    from selenium import webdriver
    
    if __name__ == '__main__':
    
       browser = webdriver.Firefox()
    
       try:
          browser.get('http://www.google.com')
          browser.get_screenshot_as_file('screenshot.png')
    
       except Exception as e:
        print e
    

With `save_screenshot` you have to write the image to a file to keep in
memory.
