Take screenshot of UI at the time of failure

Post by deepak1920 » Wed Sep 14, 2016 12:42 pm

Hi,

I am using ranorex API in my visual studio solution. Whenever something goes wrong, test script is failed and in report I can see the failure reason. I want to know the state of UI at the time of failure.

Is it possible to enable some settings through code which will capture the screenshot whenever any failure/error takes place?

I know ranorex api has one method - Report.Screenshot(). But I have to call it at all places wherever I feel the error can occur. It will not cover all the scenarios as I am not aware, in future at which all places error can occur?


Regards,
Deepak Gupta

Hi Deepak,

Taking screenshots in case of an error is an Test Suite feature. Since you are not using a Test Suite, you would need to create your own error handling. This could be done by using Report.Screenshot within a try-catch block.

I hope this information helps you solving your intention.
