# File lib/action_dispatch/system_testing/test_helpers/screenshot_helper.rb, line 44 def take_failed_screenshot take_screenshot if failed? && supports_screenshot? && Capybara::Session.instance_created? end
Takes a screenshot of the current page in the browser.
take_screenshot
can be used at any point in your system tests to take a screenshot of the current state. This can be useful for debugging or automating visual testing. You can take multiple screenshots per test to investigate changes at different points during your test. These will be named with a sequential prefix (or ‘failed’ for failing tests)
The screenshot will be displayed in your console, if supported.
The default screenshots directory is tmp/screenshots
but you can set a different one with Capybara.save_path
You can set the RAILS_SYSTEM_TESTING_SCREENSHOT_HTML
environment variable to save the HTML from the page that is being screenshotted so you can investigate the elements on the page at the time of the screenshot
You can set the RAILS_SYSTEM_TESTING_SCREENSHOT
environment variable to control the output. Possible values are:
simple
(default)-
Only displays the screenshot path. This is the default value.
inline

Display the screenshot in the terminal using the iTerm image protocol (iterm2.com/documentation-images.html).
artifact
-
Display the screenshot in the terminal, using the terminal artifact format (buildkite.github.io/terminal-to-html/inline-images/).
