Take Screenshot of a specific element or a particular div using Selenium Web Driver - Java

                                      Some times we would have to take screenshot of a particular element or a div as per the requirement.So we need to take a screenshot of the full page and have to crop it.The below approach can be used.It is advised to make a function  and have it in some commons class and re use it where needed.


Below is the code for SshotofElement.java

package com.example;

import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

import javax.imageio.ImageIO;

import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.OutputType;
import org.openqa.selenium.Point;
import org.openqa.selenium.TakesScreenshot;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.testng.annotations.Test;



public class SshotofElement {
 
 @Test
 public void screenShotElement() throws InterruptedException,IOException {
   WebDriver driver=new FirefoxDriver();
    driver.get("http://www.learn-selenium.net/");
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
                 // Xpath of element to take screen shot
    WebElement element=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='PopularPosts1']"));  
    File screenshot = ((TakesScreenshot)driver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE); 
                 // Take full screen screenshot
    BufferedImage  fullImg = ImageIO.read(screenshot);
    Point point = element.getLocation();
    int elementWidth = element.getSize().getWidth();
    int elementHeight = element.getSize().getHeight();
    BufferedImage elementScreenshot= fullImg.getSubimage(point.getX(), point.getY(), elementWidth,elementHeight);
                 // crop the image to required
    ImageIO.write(elementScreenshot, "png", screenshot);
    FileUtils.copyFile(screenshot, new File("mostread_screenshot.png"));//path to save screen shot
    
    
    driver.close();
  
 }

}
