@RunWith(SWTBotJunit4ClassRunner.class) won't catch screenshots on failure [message #879056]

Hi,

I followed all the instructions to use "@RunWith(SWTBotJunit4ClassRunner.class)" to capture screenshots on a test failure but i can't find the screenshot anywhere.
In addition I can't find any console entry that shows if it was successful or not.

Has anyone encountered this issue?

By the way, I debugged it and I can see that the screen is captured, the capture on failure returns 'true', the HTML report includes the reference to the file, but there's no file whatsoever in the screenshots directory...
Weird...

Hi Yoed,

If you debug it, then you should see what folder the SWTbot use for saving the snapshot, doesn't you?
Take a look at the ScreenshotCaptureListener.captureScreenshot(Failure failure) where is the path constructed and you'll see where the images go to.

Thanks Jan for the tip!
I checked it out, and indeed I had to set SWTBotPreferences.SCREENSHOTS_DIR for the screenshots to appear.

One problem though
SWTBot saves the screenshots on failures but they are all white. No window content whatsoever.

Does anyone know this phenomena?

Thanks

P.S I'm running my tests on Jenkins slave machine, using the headless framework. Is that the reason?

I observed similar, also when running SWTBot tests locally. As far as I
can tell, the screenshot is taken too late. In my case the screenshot is
taken after the tearDown (@After-annotated) method is executed.

The SWTBot runner would have to take the screenshot _before_ tear down.
Not sure though if custom JUnit runners have a chance to intercept at
that point.

I filed this bug, but there hasn't been any response so far:
372209: Take screenshot before teardown

I see that you filed this defect on February...
Unfortunately I've been trying to reach Ketan (Padegaonkar) myself for a few weeks already, but it seems that he hardly ever checks out the SWTBot forums and bugs.
Too bad.

Thanks Rüdiger for your attention... I hope that this issue will be resolved soon.
I'll monitor the bug too.

All current efforts around SWTBot are currently focused on support for
Eclipse Workbench 4.2.
If you want this issue to progress, you should consider providing a test
case and a patch.

I think that the feature is not usable if your unit tests do a proper cleanup even if they fail. So SWTBot should provide an API that does the same kind of thing (using the configured output directory and generating the file name for the test class and the test method name given as input). A method exists in SWTUtils but your have to deal with too much info.
