Screenshot files are empty

[filipleifer]

Hi,

I have a problem with empty PNG screenshot files. File is created but there is no content. It happens sometimes but I dont know what is the reason.

My protractor config is:

var waiting = function (rootSelector, callback) {
var el = document.querySelector(rootSelector);
var $timeout = angular.element(el).injector().get('$timeout');
$timeout(callback, 0);
};

//Require
var config = require('./sessionConfig.json');
var HtmlScreenshotReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter');

var reporter = new HtmlScreenshotReporter({
dest: 'Report',
filename: 'Report.html',
reportOnlyFailedSpecs: false,
captureOnlyFailedSpecs: false,
cleanDestination: false
});

exports.config = {
seleniumAddress: config.seleniumAddress,
seleniumSessionId: config.seleniumSessionId,
jasmineNodeOpts: {
onComplete: null,
isVerbose: false,
showColors: true,
includeStackTrace: true,
defaultTimeoutInterval: 10 * 120 * 1000 //timeout_in_millis
},

beforeLaunch: function () {
    return new Promise(function (resolve) {
        reporter.beforeLaunch(resolve);
    });
},

onPrepare: function () {
    jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
},

afterLaunch: function (exitCode) {
    return new Promise(function (resolve) {
        reporter.afterLaunch(resolve.bind(this, exitCode));
    });
},

getPageTimeout: 120000,        

framework: 'jasmine',

specs: ['*spec.js'],
      
plugins: [{
    inline: {
        waitForPromise: function() { 
            return browser.executeAsyncScript(waiting, browser.rootEl);
        }
    }
}]

};

When you say there's no content, are they 0 byte files or are they just white or both? (I've seen the white screenshots before but I'm not sure of their filesize.)

I'm experiencing this issue, when running tests locally about half the screenshots are blank, seems to be taking the shot in between tests maybe? When running tests through selenium grid I still get this happening but only 5% of the time rather than 50%. If I run the specs over again it's sometimes different ones that are blank, seems like a race condition or something? I don't have anything like afterEach destroying the page either.

Hello Anjunatl, I am facing this issue. I am getting a png file but of o bytes. My code is: var HtmlReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-html-reporter');

var reporter = new HtmlReporter({
dest: 'protractor-reports',
filename: 'protractor-report.html',

// screenshotsFolder: 'F:\Screeshots'
});

exports.config = 
{
directconnect: true,
capabilities: {'browserName': 'chrome'},
framework: 'jasmine',
specs: ['example.js'],
jasmineNodeOpts: {
defaultTimeoutInterval: 300000
},
onPrepare: function() {
//Add a screenshot reporter and store screenshots to `/tmp/screenshots`:
	  jasmine.getEnv().addReporter(reporter);
	  
  }
  }

Can you please let me know whats wrong as I am very new to this.

I seem to experience a similar problem. The screenshots are always a blank white screen (5KB).

const configureReporters = (screenshotPath, resultPath) => {
	const HtmlScreenshotReporter = require('protractor-jasmine2-screenshot-reporter');
	const screenshotReporter = new HtmlScreenshotReporter({
		dest: screenshotPath,
		captureOnlyFailedSpecs: true,
		cleanDestination: false
	});
	screenshotReporter.beforeLaunch(() => {});
};

const onPrepare = () => {
	configureReporters(
		exports.config.SCREENSHOTS_PATH, exports.config.RESULTS_PATH
	);
};

Same issue here, in my test I take multiple consecutive screenshots but the second screenshot comes empty more than 50% of the times. Is it a race condition?
