filename directory name volume label syntax is incorrect while taking a screenshot using webdriver

[Raghu veer]

Hi

I am using the below function to take a screen shot and my framework is hybrid-driven + page factory

 public  void captureScreenShot(String obj) throws IOException {

  

   File screenshotFile=((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

     FileUtils.copyFile(screenshotFile,new File("Screenshots\\"+obj+""+GetTimeStampValue()+".png"));

}

when i use this function in some class and wanted to pass a string as a filename i am getting the error filename directory name volume label syntax is incorrect

EX: regprocess.captureScreenShot(validation);

validation is a string in which i am getting a validation message of the site , i wanted to save a snapshot with filename same as the validation message to identify.

Thanks

I would use:

    File screenshotFile=((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

    String file = String.format("Screenshots%s%s%s.png", System.getProperty("file.separator"), obj, GetTimeStampValue());

    // check to see if the directory Screenshots exists, if not, create it.

    FileUtils.copyFile(screenshotFile, new File(file));

Concatenating strings the way you are is not very efficient. It is better to use String.format to build a string from the other parts. Additionally, your code assumes a file separator is \ but this is only true for Windows. If you use the property file.separator this will work on non-Windows machines as well.

I put a comment in about creating the Screenshots directory if it doesn't already exist. As part of creating this directory you can also check for things like permissions and security. It is possible that the user you are running the tests under does not have write permission on the directory specified.

Also, I'm assuming GetTimeStampValue() returns a string. If it returns a int or long, change the last %s in the format string as necessary.
