Webdriver take screen shot when case failed use TestNG

Is there a good way to capture screenshots when running tests in parallel on the method level?

In order to run tests in parallel, each individual test needs a unique driver instance. So, at any given time you have x number of driver instances running. When it comes time to capture a screenshot, how do you determine which driver to use?

If you create a base test class with access to the driver, then that driver will always be the correct driver

The following will achieve this;

All test classes must extend a simple base test class;

[java] view plaincopyprint?

1. public asbtract baseTestCase() {  
2.   
3.     private WebDriver driver;  
4.   
5.     public WebDriver getDriver() {  
6.             return driver;  
7. }  
8.   
9.     @BeforeMethod  
10.     public void createDriver() {  
11.             Webdriver driver=XXXXDriver();  
12.     }  
13.   
14.     @AfterMethod  
15.         public void tearDownDriver() {  
16.         if (driver != null)  
17.         {  
18.                 try  
19.                 {  
20.                     driver.quit();  
21.                 }  
22.                 catch (WebDriverException e) {  
23.                     System.out.println("***** CAUGHT EXCEPTION IN DRIVER TEARDOWN *****");  
24.                     System.out.println(e);  
25.                 }  
26.   
27.         }  
28.     }  

public asbtract baseTestCase() {    private WebDriver driver;    public WebDriver getDriver() {            return driver;}    @BeforeMethod    public void createDriver() {            Webdriver driver=XXXXDriver();    }    @AfterMethod        public void tearDownDriver() {        if (driver != null)        {                try                {                    driver.quit();                }                catch (WebDriverException e) {                    System.out.println("***** CAUGHT EXCEPTION IN DRIVER TEARDOWN *****");                    System.out.println(e);                }        }    }

In your listener, you need to access the base class;

[java] view plaincopyprint?

1. public class ScreenshotListener extends TestListenerAdapter {  
2.   
3. @Override  
4. public void onTestFailure(ITestResult result)  
5. {  
6.         Object currentClass = result.getInstance();  
7.         WebDriver webDriver = ((BaseTest) currentClass).getDriver();  
8.   
9.         if (webDriver != null)  
10.         {  
11.   
12.            File f = ((TakesScreenshot) webDriver).getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);  
13.   
14.            //etc.   
15.         }  
16. }
