failed to save screenshot to a location in casperjs (windows7 64 bit)

Question

When trying to capture a screenshot and save it in casperjs, it throws the following error

[error] [phantom] Failed to save screenshot to a local directory. please check permissions

Tried lot of ways like

• saving it to other locations like public directory
• changing the permissions of the local directory.
• running the process as an administrator.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit machine.

Already gone through this link here

Answer 1

I had the same error. and from what i found , it's also possible getting this error when the screenshot retrieved from a url/link which has no response body (see also here)

So I solved that through something like that:

 ...

 if (this.exists("body")) {   // this refer to the casper object
     this.capture(myTrgFile);
}

please note that the request body and the tag body are two different things. I used the tag ("body") in my example only because it usually appears when requesting an html page. (the tag body is locate in the request body)

hope that helps...
