Resizing Screen Ends Video Recording #150

Open levisiebens opened 9 years ago

levisiebens commented 9 years ago

I have some test which trigger a screen resize in the middle of the test. I've noticed this immediately kills any video recording that was in progress as the videos that are uploaded to the server end up being shortened. Is this a known issue or just a limitation of the system?

This is a new issue but it makes sense, the video recording is tied into Java robot for capturing the screen, and the initial screen size is set up front. Either the robot is no longer able to take pictures (unlikely) or the video encoder is not able to deal with multi sizes image inputs (most likely)

So does that mean that I will have to change resolution before running the test? Or is there the potential for a fix for this?

I don't know the video encoder off the top of my head, but I doubt it is possible to change a resolution mid flight. Since each test starts its own video recorder, try to change resolution in between the individual tests and see if that works
