Photographer

Photographer, available as part of the @serenity-js/web module, watches as actors perform their interactions and automatically takes screenshots when the desired conditions are met.

Photographer can be configured to take screenshots when:

• an interaction results in a failure,
• after any interaction takes place,
• or before and after any interaction.

Installation and usage

To learn more about the Photographer, please consult:

Integration

Photographer listens to InteractionStarts and InteractionFinished domain events and reacts to them based on the configured PhototakingStrategy.

Photographer takes a screenshot of the browser window used by the actor in the spotlight and emits ArtifactGenerated events containing the screenshot, which can be persisted to disk by ArtifactArchiver and included in Serenity BDD reports by SerenityBDDReporter.
