selenium.captureEntirePageScreenshot does not work but selenium.captureScreenshot works

Question

Hi,

I'm running Selenium with TestNG using Eclipse and Selenium RC. I used the command:

selenium.captureEntirePageScreenshot("\\test.png","");

but got the following error:

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: ERROR: Command execution failure. Please search the forum at http://clearspace.openqa.org for error details from the log window.  The error message is: Component returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsILocalFile.initWithPath]

Can someone please suggest why this error is occuring? I have already tried the following:

1)Replaced "" (String kwargs parameter) with "background=#CCFFDD"

2)Running in Firefox in chrome mode

3)Changed the path to the following values and I'm still getting the error: "\test.jpg", "c:\test.jpg", "c:\test.png", "c:\folder1\test.png", (folder1 exists) "c:\folder1\test.jpg",

4)Tried with - selenium.captureScreenshot("\test.png"); and it works fine but it does not solve my purpose and I dont want to use awt.

Can someone please suggest what could be wrong?

Thanks,
Mugen

Answer 1

To whomsoever it may concern,. the problem was solved after I kept fiddling with the code for a while and restarted my system. I came to know that captureEntirePageScreenshot works only on absolute paths so I made sure I kept trying with just that.

Answer 2

I got it working after looking at this page.
