Error remarks on Screenshot

[FLT_Rizki]

Hey everyone,

I need your assistance and advice regarding an issue I've encountered multiple times. I'm trying to screenshot an entire page of a website and save it in a folder. However, every time I attempt to take the screenshot, I encounter an error message. here a picture of the flow and error message.

Hi @FLT_Rizki ,

For me working as expected. Please try with above code.

Instead of wait you can try for wait for web page content it will wait until the page load.

Hi @FLT_Rizki ,

If the above action is not working you can use the alternative action called "Take Screenshot (in Workstation)".

Thanks,

While capturing the screenshot, please refrain from interrupting your bot to prevent it from displaying "Failed to capture." Also, ensure that you activate the highlighted toggle below.

Hey everyone,

I appreciate all the advice given, but unfortunately, none of the solutions worked for me. Is there any other method you can suggest? I suspect the issue might be related to the file aspect.

[Ahammad_Riyaz]

Did you tried the code what i was pasted in chat.

[FLT_Rizki]

Yes, I did, and the error message states "fail to save screenshot to file."

[Ahammad_Riyaz]

Did that website got loaded.

[FLT_Rizki]

yes it did.

[Ahammad_Riyaz]

Can you please share the screenshot action just open it.

Meanwhile hardcode the save path and try with some other page. ex: www.google.com.

If that works then the issue may be the website, what you are using.

Hi @FLT_Rizki ,

If the action is not working your system some problem with Browser or Instance, I guess.

You can take screenshot using Python script also as shown in below image. But you also need some prerequisites.

"You need to have Python installed on the machine and If your script uses external Python libraries (modules), you might need to install those libraries as well(pip install pygetwindow pyautogui)"

Python script:

import pygetwindow as gw
import pyautogui

# Get the active foreground window
active_window = gw.getActiveWindow()

if active_window is not None:
# Get the position and size of the active window
x, y, width, height = active_window.left, active_window.top, active_window.width, active_window.height

# Capture the screenshot of the active window
screenshot = pyautogui.screenshot(region=(x, y, width, height))

# Save the screenshot to the specified location
screenshot_path = r"D:\Power_Automate\Test\screenshot.png"
screenshot.save(screenshot_path)

print("Screenshot saved successfully at:", screenshot_path)
else:
print("No active foreground window found.")

(Note:- if you got your solution you can mark as solution and gives kudos)

Thanks & Regards

Are you sure that the file location you are saving it is correct? Atleast if I just copy and paste that code I get the same error. But when I change the file location to my users folders then it works just fine.

Just to make sure I would use the Select file and choose file location from there to avoid typos.

[FLT_Rizki]

Yes, the file location and path i use is correct.

[eetuRobo]

Then I think it might be some permission issue. At least if I try to save for example C:\Users it gives me that same general error "Failed to save screenshot to file". Since that folder I don't have write permissions. 

Can you try to save to a different users folder and see if that works?
