Taking Screen Shots using Cucumber

[Swaroop Swaroop]

Hello Everyone,

I have been trying to implement how can the different capabilities of Cucumber can be utilized in an automation Framework.

I have come across the following on my research on the internet.

1. Animated Results can be attached to Final Reports of cucumber - Could anybody give a small example with Cucumber Webdriver.
2. Screenshots taken can be attached into the reports.html

However when i tried to implement it in my automation framework which integrates WebDriver and Cucumber; I am unable to get the proper integration.

Attached is the screenshot of my project. Please help and suggest asap. I have the code inserted here with @After annotation. However i do not know where and how it will be called when steps fail during execution.

1. I have tried failing the steps but at that time this screenshot must have been called. I did not receive any indication of this.
2. I have created this method under a Java class. Should i create it under a Separate class and if yes how do i call it since step definitions do not allow extending to other classes.

Appreciate your time and help in this regard.

Regards,
Swaroop

Can you be more specific what you mean by animated results? Do you mean an .mp4 file? Something else?

Don't you feel a bit weird using the word "asap" when you're not paying the people you're asking for help?

The 2nd argument to the Scenario.embed method should be a MIME type, not a file path. Try this:

scenario.embed(screenshot, "image/png");

Dear Aslak,

Thanks for the quick response.

I found about the Animated reports at the below link:
https://advancedweb.hu/2015/04/28/animated-failure-reports-with-selenium-and-cucumber/

Next regarding taking screenshots i also have tried mime type. But not able to get it.

Below is the code I am using with @After annotation.

@After
public void embedScreenshot(Scenario scenario) {
	if (scenario.isFailed()) {
		try {
			byte[] screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot) FeatureTest.driver)
					.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);
			scenario.embed(screenshot, "image/png");
		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}
}

Regards,
Swaroop
