Screen Recorder Actions

ScreenRecorderActions captures video and screenshots during tests.

Access​

Instantiate directly (not via DriverActions):

ScreenRecorderActions screenRecorder = new ScreenRecorderActions<>(driver);

Methods (from the framework)​

java.io.File captureScreenshot(String screenshotName);
void startRecording(String name);
void stopRecording();

Usage​

ScreenRecorderActions screenRecorder = new ScreenRecorderActions<>(driver);

// Start recording	screenRecorder.startRecording("LoginTest");

// ... perform test actions ...

// Stop recording	screenRecorder.stopRecording();

// Take an on-demand screenshot
File shot = screenRecorder.captureScreenshot("LoginPage");

TestNG Example​

public class RecordedLoginTest {
    private DriverActions actions;
    private ScreenRecorderActions screenRecorder;

    @BeforeClass
    public void setUp() {
        actions = new DriverActions(driver);
        screenRecorder = new ScreenRecorderActions<>(driver);
    }

    @BeforeMethod
    public void start(Method method) {
        screenRecorder.startRecording(method.getName());
    }

    @AfterMethod
    public void stop() {
        screenRecorder.stopRecording();
    }
}

Notes​

  • Works for both web and mobile drivers; the implementation adapts to the driver.
  • Video files are saved according to the implementation defaults; ensure your CI retains artifacts if needed.
  • Use screenshots (captureScreenshot) for quick state capture without a full recording.
