Log Electron Screenshot

The Log Electron Screenshot block is used to capture a screenshot of an Electron application window. Fully expanded, the Log Electron Screenshot block shows the following properties:

The Block Header (“Log Electron Screenshot”)

The green input connector in the header is used to trigger the block to start executing.

The green output connector in the header triggers when an Electron screenshot is successfully logged.

The title of the block (“Log Electron Screenshot”) can be changed by double-clicking on it and typing in a new title.

Image File

The Image File property provides an output containing the captured screenshot in PNG format.

This output can be used as an input in blocks that support image files or other components that require screenshots for processing.

Electron window

Once an Electron window is found and the focus is set, this property contains a handle to the window. This can be used in cases where multiple windows are open during when running a test in order to direct other building blocks to use a specific window.

Await DOM change

Delay the block execution until there has been no changes to the page’s DOM for a specific period of time — for instance 3 seconds.

This is useful when waiting for behind-the-scenes updates in javascript to occur. Regardless of this checkbox, the search and click will occur after waiting a maximum of 30 seconds.

Await Requests

Delay the block execution until there has been no active XHR requests for a specific period of time — for instance 3 seconds.

This is useful when waiting for behind-the-scenes updates with XHR to occur. Some enterprise web applications use XHR and DOM changes extensively behind the scenes, even switching out existing button tags with new ones. This includes Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce.

Regardless of this checkbox, the screenshot will be taken after waiting a maximum of 30 seconds.
