Hi guys!

I would like to specify the folder where the screenshots are saved when I use 'run_on_failure=Capture Page Screenshot' setting on library import.

For that I packed 'Capture Page Screenshot' in my own user keyword 'Capture Screenshot'

***Settings***
| Library | Selenium2Library | run_on_failure=Capture Screenshot


***Keywords***
| Capture Screenshot
| | Capture Page Screenshot | | error_screenshots/error.png

Q1. Of corse that way the filename has no counter. How can I add a counter or a timestamp to the filename or give only a folder as argument to keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot'?

Q2. Another question (which is a little offtopic). How can one add a timestamp to the results folder where log.html, report.html etc are save? I set this folder with the '-d' or '--outputdir' option when I start the test from command line.

Cheers

Tset

1) If you install S2L from source, it has commit [1] to add index in the filename with Capture Page Screenshot keyword. Please see the keyword documentation for better details.

2) I usually do it with a script. Create required folder in the scrip and use the folder as input to the --outputdir option.

Thank you,Tatu!

Meanwhile In Selenium2Library 1.7.4 the issue with the folder for screenshots is already implemented, right?

And when using Jenkins one actually does not need to take care of the created artifacts as Jenkins does it for me. Thus artifacts can be overwritten on each test run and it does not hurt because the last results are backed up on Jenkins server.
