selenium.captureEntirePageScreenshot("\\test.png","") throws failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH) [nsILocalFile.initWithPath]

Hi,
I'm running Selenium with TestNG using Eclipse and Selenium RC. I used the command:

Code:

selenium.captureEntirePageScreenshot("\\test.png","");

but got the following error:

Code:

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: ERROR: Command execution failure. Please search the forum at [url=http://clearspace.openqa.org/]http://clearspace.openqa.org[/url]
for error details from the log window.  The error message is: Component
returned failure code: 0x80520001 (NS_ERROR_FILE_UNRECOGNIZED_PATH)
[nsILocalFile.initWithPath]

I have already tried the following:

1)Replaced "" (String kwargs parameter) with "background=#CCFFDD"
2)Running Firefox in chrome mode
3)Changed the path to the following values and I'm still getting the error :

"\\test.jpg",
"c:\\test.jpg",
"c:\\test.png",
"c:\\folder1\\test.png", (folder1 exists)
"c:\\folder1\\test.jpg",

4)Tried with -

Code:

selenium.captureScreenshot("\\test.png");

and it works fine but it does not solve my purpose and I dont want to use awt.

Can someone please suggest whats wrong?

Thanks,
Mugen

Hi,

The most surprising thing happened today after I restarted my system. I was reading on the defect here. And I read the example that the developer had mentioned about captureEntirePageScreenshot supporting absolute paths only. So I tried again with absolute path...and it worked!!
I'm not sure what exactly caused it to start working.

Code:

selenium.captureEntirePageScreenshot("c:\\test.png","");

Well, thanks for your help anyway.
