Selenium2: Taking screenshots with selenium grid 2

Question

Is it possible to take screenshots using selenium grid 2? The RemoteWebDriver class does not implement the TakesScreenshot interface.

Answer 1

The RemoteWebDriver must be augmented before you can use the screenshot capability. As you have no doubt already found, attempting to cast without augmenting results in an exception.

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver( ... );
driver           = new Augmenter().augment( driver );
( (TakesScreenshot)driver ).getScreenshotAs( ... );
