Getting a full page screenshot?

[Nick]

My site has a lot of long-form content, so most pages have a scrollbar. Trying to use the Capture method on the browser to get a screenshot works, but only for the visible frame. Is there a way to capture the entire contents of the page to a screenshot?

I was thinking about doing scrolls, but I can't seem to find a scroll / page height that I can use to calculate how far and how many times I need to scroll so I can stitch together an image. Is it possible to get such information?

Thanks,
Nick

I don't think you could capture all screen. You can try by capturing just an object from page. If this will do any help

try
           {
               System.Drawing.Bitmap image = ActiveBrowser.Capture();
               if (image != null)
               {
                   var fileName = TypeName + "_" + DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy_MM_dd_HH_mm_ss_ffff");
                   string testFilePath = System.IO.Path.Combine(Logger.TestRunScreenshotFilesFolder, fileName);
                   fileName = Path.ChangeExtension(testFilePath, ".png");
                   image.Save(fileName, ImageFormat.Png);
                   Logger.Error(String.Format("System wasn't working as expected. You can see screenshot of it here '{0}'", testFilePath));
               }
           }
           catch (Exception)
           { }

Hello Nick,

Yes, you can capture the entire window or a targeted portion of that window using the Window.GetBitmap() method. Please follow this article for more information. Unfortunately we can only capture what is currently visible. We do not have a method in which you can capture the entire contents of the web page, scrolling along the way.

can u pls tell me how you took the screen shot of client machine (browser) in session enabled website...
Thanks in advance..

Hello Rizwan,

You can capture an image of the browser at any point in the test and save that image to the hard drive. Here's how it looks in code:

System.Drawing.Bitmap image = ActiveBrowser.Capture();
image.Save("C:\\MySavedImages\\CurrentBrowser.png", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);

Some other ways of capturing the browser state are listed in the replies above as we as this article. 

Kind regards,

Hello Nabil,

Please be more specific on what exactly you are experiencing. This thread was updated last year and it seems the last response solved the problem. 
Please refer to the code provided in the previous post and give it a try, it is quite straight forward and it should work without any issues.

Hello, Nick. Why not try some screenshot tools like screenshot extensions? There are tons of these extensions, such as Awesome Screenshot, Fireshot, Nimbus Screenshot and so on. If you don't want to install any plug-ins, you can make use of some online screenshot applications like Webpage Screenshot Capture.

Hi,

This code works correctly on my side and it capture an image without issues. See that video.

Could you please try changing the folder or run Test Studio as Administrator?

Hope to hear from you soon.
