Screenshots are not generating for failure cases using robot framework if i am doing execution through Jenkins in Linux slave machine

[mani Punnavalli]

In Robot framework by default screenshots are generating for failure cases.I tried using Get page screenshot keyword, but still i can't see screenshots. Using the same script i can see screenshots if i am doing the execution in local machine.

I am executing with headless chrome in Linux slave with Jenkins. Same scripts are working in local but failing in Jenkins. I want to see screenshots for failures, but screenshots are not generating.

   Input Text                           ${login_password}    ${password}
capture page screenshot              password.png
click on next                        ${password_next}       ${login_password}
capture page screenshot              next.png

I tried with below script to store the screenshots. It is working in Local. But screenshots are not generating if i m doing execution in Linux slave.
   Capture Image
    [Arguments]  ${imagename}
    ${path}=        Catenate   SEPARATOR=       ${EXECDIR}      /      Screenshots     /      ${imagename}  .   png
    capture page screenshot      ${path}

Hi

The screenshots are taken, the picture shows that there is empty image location in the log.html. Because Jenkins can be used in many different ways, I am going to assume few things. I think you are using a plugin or something else which copies the report and log files to a new folder/location. But you don't copy the screenshots files to the same folder and therefore log is not able to display the pictures for you. To solve this issue, fix your Jenkins configuration also to copy the screenshots to the new location. 

Also, let's fix your assumption. Robot Framework doesn't interact with your application. The libraries you are using does the interaction. Therefore it's not correct to say that Robot Framework is not working, because it's the library that might be miss behaving.
