Getting Nullpointer Exception while taking screen shot

[Harish Dhage]

Hi Guys,

I am getting nullpointer exception for taking screen shot, please check the code

public void grabScreenShot() throws IOException{

System.out.println("in grap screen shot method");  // till here it will work

File screenShotFile = ((TakesScreenshot) drive).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

FileUtils.copyFile(screenShotFile, new File("D:\\screenShot.jpeg"));

System.out.println("Screen shot is taken");

}

public void getScreenShot() throws IOException{

System.out.println("x"); // till here it will work

EventFiringWebDriver edrive= new EventFiringWebDriver(drive);

File srcImgFile = edrive.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

System.out.println("y");

File dstImgFile = new File("D:/Study/Selenium practices/HybridFramework/src/screenShot/screenShot.jpeg");

FileUtils.copyFile(srcImgFile, dstImgFile);

System.out.println("z");

}

There is no sign of the "drive" object being declared or instantiated in your code.

It is impossible to have two terminal errors in a single program, and the is no indication of how either of your two methods are called. There's obviously more involved than you have shown us.

Uttam, how does your post answer the question?

Hi,

As PeterJeffreyGale said, you did not initiated driver object as per code provided.. let see below simple code to take screen shot, off-course you may know it..

WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
driver.get("http://web page url");
File src=((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(src, new File("E:\\screen.png"));

Thank You
