Python example to take screenshot for test failure

[Wayne Ma]

Do you have an example on Python Appium AltUnity test to do screen capture when test is failed?

Thanks.

Hi,

We have a Python Appium AltUnity example project here: https://gitlab.com/altom/altunity/examples/alttrashcat-tests-python-appium

You can also read about Appium and AltUnity here: https://altom.gitlab.io/altunity/altunitytester/pages/tester-with-appium.html#

To capture screenshots on test failures, you would first need to create an "on_fail" method specific for the test framework that you're using for Python. This might be a bit complicated to achieve, so I would just capture a screenshot in the test tearDown method, regardless of the result.

Then you can either use the default Appium driver method to capture screenshots, (http://appium.io/docs/en/commands/session/screenshot/)

screenshotBase64 = self.driver.get_screenshot_as_base64()

or you could use the AltUnity method instead:

self.altdriver.get_png_screenshot(png_path)

Thanks.  I can use save_screenshot method to save the screenshot in the tearDown.  However, I am not sure how it can be linked to the corresponding testcase in the test report.  I will explore the pytest fixture to see if this can be done.
