Unable to take screenshot in Selenium

Question

I am trying to capture a screenshot for each failure occurrence and written following code, but this is not working.

public class TestFile {

    WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

    @Test   
    public void Testone(){
        driver.get("http://www.google.com/");           
    }

    @AfterMethod(alwaysRun=true)
    public void catchExceptions(ITestResult result){
        System.out.println("result"+result);
        String methodName = result.getName();
        System.out.println(methodName);

        if(!result.isSuccess()){         
            try { 
                File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
                FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile,new File("C:\\screenshot2.png" ));
            } catch (IOException e1) {
                e1.printStackTrace();
            }       
        }
    }
}

This is failing at

File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);

The stacktrace you shared is not the stacktrace, but I think the testng log.
The example you provided actually works. I just made the test fail, because in the @AfterMethod a screenshot is taken only if the test fails: if(!result.isSuccess())
Then when I ran the example again, I got:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\screenshot2.png (Access is denied)
Then I changed the location of the picture to be on D: where the permissions are correct, and it worked end to end, I can see the screenshot.

        driver.get("http://www.google.com/");
        assert false;

    }

    @AfterMethod(alwaysRun = true)
    public void catchExceptions(ITestResult result) {
        System.out.println("result" + result);
        String methodName = result.getName();
        System.out.println(methodName);

        if (!result.isSuccess()) {

            try {

                File scrFile = ((TakesScreenshot) driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
                FileUtils.copyFile(scrFile, new File("C:\\screenshot2.png"));
            } catch (IOException e1) {

        }
    }
}

Hi sinisa229 mihajlovski,

Your script is working properly. but there is a slight change in your script. If i won't comment the line "assert false", it is giving error.
