Unable to define when a screenshot is taken

[AvA0808]

Hello @wakaleo

For my screenshots I have some lines of code in the @Step methods to: scroll the element into view, highlight it, and then un-highlight it at the end of the method.

This all works fine. The issue I am having is I can't get the screenshot to be taken on the actions inside the @Step method (on click, on type, etc.). The screen shot is taken after the @Step method so the element is not highlighted (because I un-highlight right at the end of the method).

I have tried:

• serenity config take.screenshots = FOR_EACH_ACTION (I assume action refers to .click(), .type(), etc.)
• adding @Screenshots(forEachAction = true) to the @Step method
• Looking at using a line of java code to take the screen shot (I think my preferred approach, and then I can set the serenity.conf to take.screenshots = FOR_FAILURES)

But nothing has worked. Any suggestions on this? (is it possible to tell serenity exactly when to take the screenshot?)

You need to use Screenplay for this, or call Serenity.takeScreenshot() for one-off screenshots

@wakaleo I am not sure how I did not find Serenity.takeScreenshot(); in my search.

Thank you for the help, it works for what I need.
