Selenium screenshots using rspec
- by Thomas Albright
I am trying to capture screenshots on test failure using selenium-client and rspec. I run this command:
$ spec my_spec.rb \
--require 'rubygems,selenium/rspec/reporting/selenium_test_report_formatter' \
--format=Selenium::RSpec::SeleniumTestReportFormatter:./report.html
It creates the report correctly when everything passes, since no screenshots are required. However, when the test fails, I get this message, and the report has blank screenshots:
WARNING: Could not capture HTML snapshot: execution expired
WARNING: Could not capture page screenshot: execution expired
WARNING: Could not capture system screenshot: execution expired
Problem while capturing system stateexecution expired
What is causing this 'execution expired' error? Am I missing something important in my spec? Here is the code for my_spec.rb:
require 'rubygems'
gem "rspec", "=1.2.8"
gem "selenium-client"
require "selenium/client"
require "selenium/rspec/spec_helper"
describe "Databases" do
attr_reader :selenium_driver
alias :page :selenium_driver
before(:all) do
@selenium_driver = Selenium::Client::Driver.new \
:host => "192.168.0.10",
:port => 4444,
:browser => "*firefox",
:url => "http://192.168.0.11/",
:timeout_in_seconds => 10
end
before(:each) do
@selenium_driver.start_new_browser_session
end
# The system capture need to happen BEFORE closing the Selenium session
append_after(:each) do
@selenium_driver.close_current_browser_session
end
it "backed up" do
page.open "/SQLDBDetails.aspx
page.click "btnBackup", :wait_for => :page
page.text?("Pending Backup").should be_true
end
end
