I want to automatic capturing screenshots if my webdriver tests failed (any exception or assertion error). I am using Python unittest and Selenium Webdriver. Does anyone have any solution to this problem?
Here is a solution using a decorator that wrapps every method on a class that starts test_ with a wrapper that takes a screenshot if the method raises and Exception. The browser_attr is used to tell the decorator how to obtain the web browser (driver).
from functools import partialmethod
def sreenshotOnFail(browser_attr='browser'):
def decorator(cls):
def with_screen_shot(self, fn, *args, **kwargs):
"""Take a Screen-shot of the drive page, when a function fails."""
try:
return fn(self, *args, **kwargs)
except Exception:
# This will only be reached if the test fails
browser = getattr(self, browser_attr)
filename = 'screenshot-%s.png' % fn.__name__
browser.get_screenshot_as_file(filename)
print('Screenshot saved as %s' % filename)
raise
for attr, fn in cls.__dict__.items():
if attr[:5] == 'test_' and callable(fn):
setattr(cls, attr, partialmethod(with_screen_shot, fn))
return cls
return decorator
@sreenshotOnFail()
class TestDemo(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self):
"""Set up the Firefox Browser and the Tear Down."""
self.browser = webdriver.Firefox()
def test_demo2(self):
"""A test case that fails because assert."""
self.driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com")
self.assertEqual(True, False)
You can start form exploring self._outcome.errors[1] where it is possible to find information about the errors.
i.e. below code will work only for assertion errors
def tearDown(self):
if self._outcome.errors[1][1] and hasattr(self._outcome.errors[1][1][1], 'actual'):
self.driver.save_screenshot(self._testMethodName + '.png')
try:
page2.fill_up_company_info()
except Exception as e:
with pytest.raises(WebDriverException):
pytest.fail( f"{e} for error message",
allure.attach(self.driver.get_screenshot_as_png(),name="screenshot",attachment_type=AttachmentType.PNG))
For Django 2.2.2 (which uses unittest) in my class for selenium tests, which inherited from StaticLiveServerTestCase I've overrided _feedErrorsToResult method. Also this approach provides tricky way to know name of called method for convinient screenshot investigation.
@classmethod
def _feedErrorsToResult(cls, result, errors):
"""
Overriding private method at %library root%/Lib/unittest/case.py
so you can take screenshot with any failed test and find name of the method
"""
if SELENIUM_TAKE_SCREENSHOTS:
for test, exc_info in errors:
if exc_info is not None:
now = datetime.now().strftime('%y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')
test_name = exc_info[2].tb_frame.f_locals["test_case"]._testMethodName
# noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
cls.selenium.get_screenshot_as_file('%s/%s-%s-%s.png' % (SELENIUM_SCREENSHOTS_PATH, cls.__name__, test_name, now))
# noinspection PyUnresolvedReferences
super()._feedErrorsToResult(cls, result, errors)
