        } finally {
            driver.quit();
        }
    }
}

This code creates a screenshot folder but not creating a file inside it.

Solution

  • The string timestamp contains the character ":" which is forbidden in windows, so while using the timestamps for naming a file always replace the ":" character with some other valid char. reffer to this
