captureScreenshotOnFailure not working, broken

Question

I can't get these screenshots working for the life of me:

• The directories exist
• The test executes (and fails) as expected
• I'm using Firefox (14.1)
• Read the docs (only a few paragraphs)
• I've read everything I can find:
  • http://www.devinzuczek.com/2011/08/taking-a-screenshot-with-phpunit-and-selenium-rc/
  • PHPUnit Selenium captureScreenshotOnFailure does not work?
  • lots of others

Should be pretty simple, but there's no error messages, nothing. Can anyone shed some light before I start digging into the source?

class ScreenshotTest extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase {
    protected $captureScreenshotOnFailure = TRUE;
    protected $screenshotPath = 'C:\\';
    protected $screenshotUrl = 'http://127.0.0.1/';

    protected function setUp()
    {
        $this->setBrowser('firefox');
        $this->setBrowserUrl('http://127.0.0.1/');
    }

    public function testTitle()
    {
        $this->url('http://127.0.0.1');
        $this->assertEquals('foobarbaz', $this->title());
    } }

Answer 1

Ah ha - found the problem.

extends PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase

should be

extends PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase

Gotcha!

The first example in the documentation is for PHPUnit_Extensions_Selenium2TestCase. All of the others on the page are for PHPUnit_Extensions_SeleniumTestCase.

Edit

This question started me on one of those search-for-answers-for-days struggles. For the next guy/gal having this trouble, there's a few beginner-level headaches that aren't explicitly stated anwhere and I documented them at Where the heck is any Selenium 2 documentation for PHPUnit?.
