Not able to take screenshot in iphone webdriver

[vishal]

Hi

I tried using following code while writing tests with iPhone webdriver
File scrFile =
((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

This resulted in an error java.lang.ClassCastException:
org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to
org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot
com.minime.IphoneTest.crickInfo(IphoneTest.java:184)
sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)

and if use File scrFile =
((Screenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); then my code
doesnt compile as it doesnt identify Screenshot interface.

Any pointers what i might be doing wrong.

Thanks Vishal

just to add to it..this is how i am setting up my webdriver.

DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.setPlatform(Platform.ANY);
driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(webdriverAddress),capability);

Vishal,

RemoteWebDriver doesn't implement TakeScreenshot interface, which explains why you get the classcast exception.

You would have to extend RemoteWebDriver and have your class implement TakeScreenshot interface and then work with it instead.

RemoteWebDriver doesn't implement TakesScreenshot.

You can augment the RemoteWebDriver to give it all of the interfaces
its proxied driver implements:

WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);

((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(...); //should now work
