Keyword name: Mobile.takeElementScrenshot

Parameters

ParameterParameter TypeRequiredDescription
fileNameStringOptionalAbsolute path to the stored image file. fileName should contain .png as images are stored to the .png format. If the file name is not defined, the test engine will generate a random file name.
rectRectangleYesA rectangle defining the position and size of the area to be captured.

Example

You want to capture a screenshot of a specific mobile UI element, highlight it in green, and hide unwanted elements from view:

// add import libs first
import com.kms.katalon.core.configuration.RunConfiguration as RunConfiguration
// take element screenshot and store to report folder
Mobile.takeElementScreenshot(RunConfiguration.getReportFolder() + '/element_screenshot.png', findTestObject('App/screenshot_element'), [findTestObject('hide_element_1'), findTestObject('hide_element_2')], Color.GREEN)
