Taking screenshots on SauceLabs using "report" prevents successful execution

[medv...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I experience a strange behavior during test execution using IE11 on Win10.

There is a strange surge, bump, vibration or bounce every couple of seconds.

This strange short vibration is experienced during the whole execution.

This prevents running all our tests using IE11.

The exact same test is running perfectly fine in a k8s environment inside the company using Chrome.

I use

groovyVersion = '2.4.7'

gebVersion = '2.0'

seleniumVersion = '3.9.1'

We figured out with SauceLabs Support that if “report” is not used this strange behavior disappears.

 

EDGE works fine with the same test using “report”.

Is there any other way for taking screenshots?

Thank you,

Roland

Would you mind providing a bit more context?

What vibrates?

The screen itself bumps, which can be seen on the video recordings of SauceLabs.

The bump or strange behavior even gets much worse when using IE11 on Win8.1.

According SauceLabs Support this appears to be a Selenium/InternetExplorerDriver issue. Is this known by the community here eventually?

Geb build on top of Selenium WebDriver, so if this is a driver issue probably it cannot be solved by Geb. Can you refer to any videos, links to IEDriver oder Selenium issues? Does it only happen at SauceLabs or also when executing the same test locally? In my previous project we also used a cloud testing service in addition to running tests locally and on a local CI/CD server. We tested SauceLabs, BrowserStack and finally opted for TestChameleon. I can remember IE issues, but nothing like you describe. But I left that project as an Agile Coach by March 2017 after two years, so I cannot say anything about the problem maybe occurring later with newer versions of IE or Selenium.
