Troubleshooting- Full Page Screenshots on Fail

Example

[TestFixture]
public class FullPageScreenshotsOnFailTests : WebTest
{
    [Test]
    public void PromotionsPageOpened_When_PromotionsButtonClicked()
    {
        App.Navigation.Navigate("http://demos.bellatrix.solutions/");
        var promotionsLink = App.Components.CreateByLinkText<Anchor>("Promotions");
        promotionsLink.Click();
    }
}

Explanations

The engine checks after each test its result, if failed, it takes the screenshots. We have a unique engine for screenshots. We do not use vanilla WebDriver. If you use the WebDriver method, it makes a screenshot only of the visible part of the page. If you have to do it precisely by yourself, you need thousands of lines of code.

Configuration

If you open the testFrameworkSettings.json file, you find the screenshotsSettings section that controls this behaviour.

"screenshotsSettings": {
    "isEnabled": "true",
    "filePath": "C:\\Troubleshooting\\Screenshots"
}

You can turn off the taking of screenshots for all tests and specify where the screenshots are to be saved. In the extensibility chapters read more about how you can create a different screenshots engine or change the saving strategy.
