When my test case fails, especially on our build server, I want to take a picture / screenshot of the screen to help me debug what happened later on. I know how to take a screenshot, but I was hoping for a way in JUnit to call my takeScreenshot()
method if a test fails, before the browser is closed.
No, I don't want to go edit our bazillions of tests to add a try/catch. I could maybe, just possibly be talked into an annotation, I suppose. All of my tests have a common parent class, but I can't think of anything I can do there to solve this.
Ideas?
A few quick searches led me to this:

Basically, he recommends creating a JUnit4 Rule
that wraps the test Statement
in a try/catch block in which he calls:
imageFileOutputStream.write(
((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES));
Does that work for your problem?
If you want to quickly add this behavior to ALL your tests in the run you can use the RunListener
interface to listen for test failures.
public class ScreenshotListener extends RunListener {
private TakesScreenshot screenshotTaker;
@Override
public void testFailure(Failure failure) throws Exception {
File file = screenshotTaker.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.File);
// do something with your file
}
}
Add the listener to your test runner like this...
JUnitCore junit = new JUnitCore();
junit.addListener(new ScreenshotListener((TakesScreenShots) webDriver));
// then run your test...
Result result = junit.run(Request.classes(FullTestSuite.class));
