taking screenshot in iOS resulting in image with Black color.

[Naidu A]

Hi,

I am using the below code to do take the screenshots.

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

                        File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)augmentedDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

                        FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File(filename), true);

Works perfectlu with Android in windows 8 OS.

But when i try to run the same code in iOS and Mac, it results in a image with black color.

Wondering what could be the issue?

Hi Naidu,

I won't comment about code but from settings point of view, possible reasons could be:

1) You are using HostGPU to take screenshot (this settings should be somewhere in iOS Simulator

2) Your .app (or .ipa) file is having a flag which is set to ON (ask someone in your dev team if you have any such thing implemented) - To cross check this try to take screen shot of your app using the Simulator or On physical device
