saveScreenshot

Save a screenshot of the current browsing context to a PNG file on your OS. Be aware that some browser drivers take screenshots of the whole document (e.g. Geckodriver with Firefox) and others only of the current viewport (e.g. Chromedriver with Chrome).

Usage

browser.saveScreenshot(filepath)

Parameters

Name	Type	Details
filepath	String	path to the generated image (.png suffix is required) relative to the execution directory

Examples

saveScreenshot.js

it('should save a screenshot of the browser view', async () => {
    await browser.saveScreenshot('./some/path/screenshot.png');
});

 running from a hook, make sure to explicitly define the hook as async:

wdio.conf.js

afterTest: async function(test) {
    await browser.saveScreenshot('./some/path/screenshot.png');
}
