Struggling to Capture Complete Page Screenshots with WinApp Driver: Seeking Solutions

[zoheb06]

Hello WinApp Driver Community,

I'm currently facing a challenge while attempting to capture full page screenshots using the WinApp Driver. Despite having access to advanced design libraries for WebDriver, I've noticed that there's a lack of support specifically tailored to the WinApp Driver.

My goal is to achieve comprehensive page screenshots within the WinApp Driver environment, similar to what can be accomplished using WebDriver and other established libraries. However, I'm encountering limitations in terms of available resources and tools.

I would greatly appreciate any insights, workarounds, or creative solutions that fellow members of the community might have discovered. If you've encountered and overcome a similar obstacle, or if you have any suggestions on how to address this issue effectively, please do share your experiences.

Thank you for your time and contributions!

get screenshot method give a full page screenshot?

@anunay1 Thank you for your input! As of my knowledge WinAppDriver doesn't have a built-in feature like Shutterbug in WebDriver to capture full page screenshots that include both visible and non-visible content. However, I'm actively looking into updates and new developments in the WinAppDriver community. If you have any specific suggestions or workarounds for achieving full page screenshots in WinAppDriver, please feel free to share, and I'll be glad to explore them further.

@zoheb06 what have you tried? This works for me.

var screenshot = session.GetScreenshot();
screenshot.SaveAsFile(filePath, ScreenshotImageFormat.Png);

as long as you are maximizing the window at test start up, I dont see why this wouldnt work. Should take a screenshot of everything currently displayed on the UI

@Tree55Topz , it will capture a screenshot of the visible portion of a page. It won't automatically capture full-page screenshots that require scrolling to capture content beyond the visible viewport.

what i was looking for is screenshot of a particular app page from top to bottom by scrolling till the end of the page

I've been working on a script to capture multiple screenshots while scrolling through a page using the Robot class. I then stitch these screenshots together to create a full-page screenshot. However, I'm encountering an issue where the text from the initial scroll is getting duplicated in the second screenshot after scrolling, causing overlapping text.

I suspect that the timing and synchronization of scrolling and capturing might be causing this problem. I'd like to know if anyone has encountered a similar issue and if there are any best practices or tips to overcome it. Should I adjust the scrolling intervals, capture timings, or stitching process?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help
