I am trying to access http://www.google.com and acquire its screenshot using RSelenium. The code for package installation and website access is as follows.
devtools::install_github('ropensci/RSelenium')
install.packages('wdman')
library(RSelenium)
library(wdman)
cDrv <- chrome()
eCaps <- list(chromeOptions = list(
args = c('--headless', '--disable-gpu', '--window-size=1280,800')
))
remDr<- remoteDriver(browserName = "chrome", port = 4567L,
extraCapabilities = eCaps)
remDr$open()
remDr$navigate("http://www.google.com")
remDr$screenshot(display = TRUE,file = 'test.png')
# clean up
remDr$close()
cDrv$stop()
The session info for this run is as follows.

Please correct me if I am wrong in my assumptions. The chrome driver accesses the website, captures a screenshot and stores it in test.png
. The problem here is that, the code runs successfully but I am not able to find test.png
. Is there something else I should do? Thank You in advance for the help!
I get test.png
only after deleting display = TRUE
in remDr$screenshot
:
remDr$screenshot(file = 'test.png')
Hope it can help you.
