Feature request: Saving snapshot of screen / open it in Inspector #178
Comments
Thanks for this idea. The recommendation for this is to do the saving yourself as part of your testsuite. In pseudo code, let's say you have a teardown function. You could do something like this: def teardown():
if driver.sessionId:
write_file(driver.page_source)
write_file(driver.screenshot)
driver.quit() If you're using a CI server it's probably possible to associate this data directly with the CI run. obviously you'd want to give things names related to the session ID so you can find the data. You can also print out device information if you want. And you could choose to only save this kind of information in the event of a failure and not in every case. I don't think we will ever implement a way to open up some archive in Appium Inspector. the Inspector really only makes sense in the context of a live session. If what you want is simply a way to view the screenshot and source side by side, then you can simply arrange the windows on your computer in that fashion. |

I think it would actually be a more significant change in the inspector since much of the UI would need to be disabled. But let me think more about this. I do see your point about being able to use the selector generation tool. Also, if you wanted to take a stab at a PR, that would make it easy to consider as well. |
Hello.
What if appium will save Screenshot, Datasource, some data like date, screen size, device model in one archive, and open this archive in Appium Inspector?
It's common situation, that developers change some locator in app and test failed after that. Every time i start test locally to get new locator, but if appium would save snapshot, i save it at the end of failed test, and open it in inspector. It will save time, especially in long scenario
