Hi, I am using Selenium2 Library, robot framework with python in PyCharm 2023.2.2 (Community Edition). I am not able to view the screenshots in log.html. Previously it was working fine but before couple of days I changed my system and suddenly it stopped showing the screenshots in log.html. Any sugg…

Hi Adi, Not sure why it suddenly stopped working, did you update robot framework or another library? Also wondering why you are using Selenium2 Library and not SeleniumLibrary? History Going forward, all new development will happen in the new SeleniumLibrary project. I would suggest trying wi…

Hi, Use below. First install this:- pip install robotframework-screenshot In RobotFramework there is a screenshot library which is independent of any specific browser automation library. *** Settings *** Library Screenshot Capture Page Screenshot # this keyword takes the screenshot Try th…

Hi Dave, Thanks but it needs to add SeleniumLibrary.Capture Page Screenshot everywhere so it is not feasible to change it across all the scripts. And for other functions also It asked to make it start with SeleniumLibrary. Any other solution?

Hi Shankar, There is no any libary with the name robotframework-screenshot. Well there is another libary pip install robotframework-screencaplibrary It takes the screenshots but when using set screenshot library it is not saving the screenshots in that libary and it is saving it in script folder. @…

Hi Adi, I meant to change your robot script to use SeleniumLibrary instead of Selenium2Library for everything: Library SeleniumLibrary instead of Library Selenium2Library Then you won’t need to update all your Capture Page Screenshot calls. As far as I know Selenium2Library is not being …

Hi Dave, That only change can be done but for all the functions in the script I need to add text SeleniumLibrary and hence it is huge work. Let me check if anything else can be work. Thanks!

Hi Dave I tried by using SeleniumLibrary but still not able to get the screenshots in log.html.

Hi Adi, Ok so I guess my next question is are the screenshots getting created in same folder as the log.html. file? And can you open the screenshots? If yes to that, which browser are you opening the log.html with? Have you tried a different browser? (don’t rule out the browser being the issue) I…

Hi Dave, Below are the details. Chrome : Version 119.0.6045.200 (Official Build) (64-bit) Pycharm : 2023.2.2 Community Edition Robot Framework : 6.1.1 My automation scripts are on same drive where I save screenshots. Only difference is Screenshot folder is in different folder as it is to avoid …

Hi Adi, I see, so I guess we just need to workout the difference between the 2 systems that’s causing the images not to load. The way the screenshots are shown in the log is pretty simple it’s just a standard html image tag, here is one from a Browser Library log that display’s screenshot correctl…

I Managed to find a log with a screenshot from a SeleniumLibrary to show you an example html

It’s basically the same, the important part is the path to the image (In this case the image is in the same folder)
