How do i take a screenshot of parallel running web drivers tests ? I can't define webdriver as static when I'm running parallel. Every test will have it's own instance how will I know which test failed? any suggestions 

my code goes like this 

public class WebDriverTest {

public WebDriver webDriver;

public void setUpProperties(String seleniumHostAddress, int seleniumPort,

String browser, String appHost, String dbDriver,

String url, String userName, String password, String busDbUrl, String busUserName,

String busPassword)

throws Exception {

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = null;

if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("*firefox")) {

desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

}

else if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("*chrome")) {

desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

}

else if (browser.equalsIgnoreCase("*iexplore")) {

desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();

}

stdout.print("http://" + seleniumHostAddress + ":" + seleniumPort + "/srm");

webDriver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://" + seleniumHostAddress + ":" + seleniumPort + "/wd/hub"), desiredCapabilities);

webDriver.get(appHost);

webDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(500, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);

}

}

Thanks

After you look at the post Krishnan has suggested you will see it shows you have to create ONE WebDriver which has an event listener. If you want to create multiple WebDrivers then you need to create multiple EventFiringWebDrivers. If you have a loop which creates multiple WebDriver instances then change it to a loop which creates multiple EventFiringWebDriver instances PLUS have a static counter. After each new EventFiringWebDriver, increment the counter. From within the WebDriverEventListener, store the current counter. This way you end up with each event listener having a different counter. You can then use the counter variable as part of the snapshot name. So if the snapshot is name "foo-inst1.jpg" you know that WebDriver number one caused the snapshot.

Thanks I implemented using ThreadLocal so that I have seperate instances of webdriver and take a screenshot

I updated my Selenium maven template today to use TestNG (as it seems to be what all the cool kids are using) and added in a screenshot listener that will take a screenshot if the test fails.

 

It’s also on its way to being configured to use multiple threading at method level:
