Short Overview.

selenium_screenshots is a python package that helps to create many screenshots for selenium webdrivers.

Example

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium_screenshots import make_screenshot
# Please define here any webdriver which you would like to use E.G. driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# When you would want to create a screenshot, just call
make_screenshot(driver)
make_screenshot(driver, "some_description")
make_screenshot(driver, "characters_%%forbidden_in_the_..filename")

As the result you will get screenshots in the directory: ./screenshots/…

• 1.png
• 2_some_description.png
• 3_characters___forbidden_in_the___filename.png

If you run this code some other time then you’ll get 3 more screenshots:

• 1.png
• 2_some_description.png
• 3_characters___forbidden_in_the___filename.png
• 4.png
• 5_some_description.png
• 6_characters___forbidden_in_the___filename.png

As you can see user shouldn’t worry about screenshot’s numbers as they will be handled automatically.
