ScreenCapture

[Joseph Adams]

hi all,

I installed a gem (ScreenCapture) on my machine but the drive crashed and I lost my setup.

I am trying to install this gem again, but cannot seem to find it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Joe

There's screen capture functionality built into Watir itself, but as
it uses Paint,
I prefer to use the Win32 Screenshot gem instead (assuming you're on
Windows
that is...):

gem install win32screenshot

It was the paint one I used...

I found Rmagick very dificult to set up.

Its probably cheaper to spend $40 on snag it ( which is what Im about to do ;-)

Then you don't need to install a gem...

There's a script called "screen_capture.rb" in your watir installation
folder and including that in your scripts gives you the screenshot
capability via Paint as you're used to it...

Hmmm, wasn't happy paying for SnagIt, and had some teething problems
with those recommended gems. So I've rolled my own solution ...

First thing I did was created a small app called snapit.exe which you
can download <a href='http://90kts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/
snapit.exe' title='snapIt.exe by 90kts'>here</a>. If anyone is
interested in improving the code, you're welcome to get a copy of my
source code <a href='http://90kts.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/
snapit.zip' title='snapIt Source Code'>here</a>. In short, all this
app does is take a screenshot of the entire screen, and save it to a
default location (currently C:\snapit.png). Repeated use of the app
will increment the filename by 1 i.e. snapit1.png, snapit2.png ...

You can change the default file path by passing it a parameter at
runtime
e.g. D:\snapit.exe D:\images\testcase.png

Next thing to do is call it from your watir code. In Ruby, this is as
simple as:
cmd = 'D:\\snapit.exe'
puts %x{#{cmd}}

Putting it all together with some watir as an example:
require "watir"
test_site = "http://www.90kts.com"
ie = Watir::IE.new
ie.goto test_site
ie.link(:text, "Contact").click
cmd = 'D:\\snapit.exe D:\\images\testsuite.png'
puts %x{#{cmd}}

Cheers,
Tim

Watir now has screen shots built in:

Lose the "driver" part - this makes the code work in both of watir-webdriver and watir-classic. So you would do like this instead:

b.save_screenshot("screenshot.png")

I do it as simple as that: 

b.driver.save_screenshot "#{__FILE__}.png"

Where it saves renames the screen after .rb script name.
