RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot (Java)

[Zvi Fried]

I'm trying to take a screenshot with RemoteWebDriver of Winium.Desktop. As RemoteWebDriver does not implement TakesScreenshot I declared the object as WebDriver.

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(remoteUrl), desiredCapabilities);

WebDriver augmentedDriver = new Augmenter().augment(driver);
File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

When I try to cast it to I get: java.lang.ClassCastException: org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver cannot be cast to org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot

When I print the driver class name I get RemoteWebDriver although it was declared as WebDriver.

What am I missing?

RemoteWebDriver does implement TakesScreenshot for a long time that I can remember. So can you please try accessing getScreenshotAs() directly via the RemoteWebDriver instance ?

Thanks & Regards

When I try to access the method directly through RemoteWebDriver I get the following Exception (although Eclipse does not give any error on missing method):

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver.getScreenshotAs(Lorg/openqa/selenium/OutputType;)Ljava/lang/Object;

Can you please share your dependencies ? That looks like a case of mismatch in jars (especially with the selenium-api jar wherein TakesScreenshot interface resides whereas RemoteWebDriver resides in selenium-remote-driver jar)

You should only need to call:

File screenShot = ((TakesScreenshot) webDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE)

No need to call Augmenter() unless webDriver is instanceof HtmlUnitDriver
