Take full page screenshot in Chrome with Selenium
To do this with Selenium Webdriver in Java takes a bit of work.. As hinted by Florent B. we need to change some classes uses by the default ChromeDriver to make this work. First we need to make a new DriverCommandExecutor which adds the new Chrome commands:
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.CommandInfo;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.http.HttpMethod;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverCommandExecutor;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.service.DriverService;
public class MyChromeDriverCommandExecutor extends DriverCommandExecutor {
private static final ImmutableMap<String, CommandInfo> CHROME_COMMAND_NAME_TO_URL;
public MyChromeDriverCommandExecutor(DriverService service) {
super(service, CHROME_COMMAND_NAME_TO_URL);
}
static {
CHROME_COMMAND_NAME_TO_URL = ImmutableMap.of("launchApp", new CommandInfo("/session/:sessionId/chromium/launch_app", HttpMethod.POST)
, "sendCommandWithResult", new CommandInfo("/session/:sessionId/chromium/send_command_and_get_result", HttpMethod.POST)
);
}
}
After that we need to create a new ChromeDriver class which will then use this thing. We need to create the class because the original has no constructor that lets us replace the command executor... So the new class becomes:
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap;
import org.openqa.selenium.Capabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriverService;
import org.openqa.selenium.html5.LocalStorage;
import org.openqa.selenium.html5.Location;
import org.openqa.selenium.html5.LocationContext;
import org.openqa.selenium.html5.SessionStorage;
import org.openqa.selenium.html5.WebStorage;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.HasTouchScreen;
import org.openqa.selenium.interactions.TouchScreen;
import org.openqa.selenium.mobile.NetworkConnection;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.FileDetector;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteTouchScreen;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.html5.RemoteLocationContext;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.html5.RemoteWebStorage;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.mobile.RemoteNetworkConnection;
public class MyChromeDriver extends RemoteWebDriver implements LocationContext, WebStorage, HasTouchScreen, NetworkConnection {
private RemoteLocationContext locationContext;
private RemoteWebStorage webStorage;
private TouchScreen touchScreen;
private RemoteNetworkConnection networkConnection;
//public MyChromeDriver() {
// this(ChromeDriverService.createDefaultService(), new ChromeOptions());
//}
//
//public MyChromeDriver(ChromeDriverService service) {
// this(service, new ChromeOptions());
//}
public MyChromeDriver(Capabilities capabilities) {
this(ChromeDriverService.createDefaultService(), capabilities);
}
//public MyChromeDriver(ChromeOptions options) {
// this(ChromeDriverService.createDefaultService(), options);
//}
public MyChromeDriver(ChromeDriverService service, Capabilities capabilities) {
super(new MyChromeDriverCommandExecutor(service), capabilities);
this.locationContext = new RemoteLocationContext(this.getExecuteMethod());
this.webStorage = new RemoteWebStorage(this.getExecuteMethod());
this.touchScreen = new RemoteTouchScreen(this.getExecuteMethod());
this.networkConnection = new RemoteNetworkConnection(this.getExecuteMethod());
}
@Override
public void setFileDetector(FileDetector detector) {
throw new WebDriverException("Setting the file detector only works on remote webdriver instances obtained via RemoteWebDriver");
}
@Override
public LocalStorage getLocalStorage() {
return this.webStorage.getLocalStorage();
}
@Override
public SessionStorage getSessionStorage() {
return this.webStorage.getSessionStorage();
}
@Override
public Location location() {
return this.locationContext.location();
}
@Override
public void setLocation(Location location) {
this.locationContext.setLocation(location);
}
@Override
public TouchScreen getTouch() {
return this.touchScreen;
}
@Override
public ConnectionType getNetworkConnection() {
return this.networkConnection.getNetworkConnection();
}
@Override
public ConnectionType setNetworkConnection(ConnectionType type) {
return this.networkConnection.setNetworkConnection(type);
}
public void launchApp(String id) {
this.execute("launchApp", ImmutableMap.of("id", id));
}
}
This is mostly a copy of the original class, but with some constructors disabled (because some of the needed code is package private). If you are in need of these constructors you must place the classes in the package org.openqa.selenium.chrome.
With these changes you are able to call the required code, as shown by Florent B., but now in Java with the Selenium API:
import com.google.common.collect.ImmutableMap;

Object contentSize = send("Page.getLayoutMetrics", new HashMap<>());
Long cw = jsonValue(contentSize, "contentSize.width", Long.class);
Long ch = jsonValue(contentSize, "contentSize.height", Long.class);
/*

*/
if(false) {
send("Emulation.setVisibleSize", ImmutableMap.of("width", cw, "height", ch));
send("Emulation.forceViewport", ImmutableMap.of("x", Long.valueOf(0), "y", Long.valueOf(0), "scale", Long.valueOf(1)));
} else {
send("Emulation.setDeviceMetricsOverride",
ImmutableMap.of("width", cw, "height", ch, "deviceScaleFactor", Long.valueOf(1), "mobile", Boolean.FALSE, "fitWindow", Boolean.FALSE)
);
send("Emulation.setVisibleSize", ImmutableMap.of("width", cw, "height", ch));
}
Object value = send("Page.captureScreenshot", ImmutableMap.of("format", "png", "fromSurface", Boolean.TRUE));
// Since chrome 61 this call has disappeared too; it does not seem to be necessary anymore with the new code.
// send("Emulation.resetViewport", ImmutableMap.of());
send("Emulation.setVisibleSize", ImmutableMap.of("x", Long.valueOf(0), "y", Long.valueOf(0), "width", visibleW, "height", visibleH));
String image = jsonValue(value, "data", String.class);
byte[] bytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(image);
try(FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(output)) {
fos.write(bytes);
}
}
@Nonnull
private Object evaluate(@Nonnull String script) throws IOException {
Map<String, Object> param = new HashMap<>();
param.put("returnByValue", Boolean.TRUE);
param.put("expression", script);
return send("Runtime.evaluate", param);
}
@Nonnull
private Object send(@Nonnull String cmd, @Nonnull Map<String, Object> params) throws IOException {
Map<String, Object> exe = ImmutableMap.of("cmd", cmd, "params", params);
Command xc = new Command(m_wd.getSessionId(), "sendCommandWithResult", exe);
Response response = m_wd.getCommandExecutor().execute(xc);
Object value = response.getValue();
if(response.getStatus() == null || response.getStatus().intValue() != 0) {
//System.out.println("resp: " + response);
throw new MyChromeDriverException("Command '" + cmd + "' failed: " + value);
}
if(null == value)
throw new MyChromeDriverException("Null response value to command '" + cmd + "'");
//System.out.println("resp: " + value);
return value;
}
@Nullable
static private <T> T jsonValue(@Nonnull Object map, @Nonnull String path, @Nonnull Class<T> type) {
String[] segs = path.split("\\.");
Object current = map;
for(String name: segs) {
Map<String, Object> cm = (Map<String, Object>) current;

if(null == o)
return null;

}
return (T) current;
}
}
This lets you use the commands as specified, and creates a file with a png format image inside it. You can of course also directly create a BufferedImage by using ImageIO.read() on the bytes.
Yes it possible to take a full page screenshot with Selenium since Chrome v59. The Chrome driver has two new endpoints to directly call the DevTools API:
/session/:sessionId/chromium/send_command_and_get_result
/session/:sessionId/chromium/send_command
The Selenium API doesn't implement these commands, so you'll have to send them directly with the underlying executor. It's not straightforward, but at least it's possible to produce the exact same result as DevTools.
Here's an example with python working on a local or remote instance:
from selenium import webdriver
import json, base64
capabilities = {
'browserName': 'chrome',
'chromeOptions': {
'useAutomationExtension': False,
'args': ['--disable-infobars']
}
}
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)
driver.get("https://stackoverflow.com/questions")
png = chrome_takeFullScreenshot(driver)
with open(r"C:\downloads\screenshot.png", 'wb') as f:
f.write(png)
, and the code to take a full page screenshot :
def chrome_takeFullScreenshot(driver) :
def send(cmd, params):
resource = "/session/%s/chromium/send_command_and_get_result" % driver.session_id
url = driver.command_executor._url + resource
body = json.dumps({'cmd':cmd, 'params': params})
response = driver.command_executor._request('POST', url, body)
return response.get('value')
def evaluate(script):
response = send('Runtime.evaluate', {'returnByValue': True, 'expression': script})
return response['result']['value']
metrics = evaluate( \
"({" + \
"width: Math.max(window.innerWidth, document.body.scrollWidth, document.documentElement.scrollWidth)|0," + \
"height: Math.max(innerHeight, document.body.scrollHeight, document.documentElement.scrollHeight)|0," + \
"deviceScaleFactor: window.devicePixelRatio || 1," + \
"mobile: typeof window.orientation !== 'undefined'" + \
"})")
send('Emulation.setDeviceMetricsOverride', metrics)
screenshot = send('Page.captureScreenshot', {'format': 'png', 'fromSurface': True})
send('Emulation.clearDeviceMetricsOverride', {})
return base64.b64decode(screenshot['data'])

options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
options.addArguments("disable-infobars");
ChromeDriverEx driver = new ChromeDriverEx(options);

File file = driver.getFullScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
