Automatically take a screenshot on failure of a Cucumber scenario

If you are using Cucumber to automate testing your web application, it can be useful to include a screenshot in Cucumber’s report whenever a scenario fails.

If you are using Cucumber together with a Selenium WebDriver, which can capture screens, it’s easy as pie. All you have to do is paste the following lines of Java code into your Cucumber steps definition:

    Please explain my fault areas and suggest .

  3. i am using same code in cucumber then it’s showing parameters missed

  4. if you want at some specific location then execute code like this..

    if (scenario.isFailed()) {
    File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)dictionaryPage.getDriver()).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

    try {
    FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File(“C:/Users/Public/Downloads/TestScreenshot/Error.jpg”));
    } catch (IOException e) {
    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
    e.printStackTrace();
    }
    }

  5. it embeds screenshot in cucumber report found in the target directory.

  6. where i can see the screenshots after executing my feature file.
