How to take a full webpage screenshot using AShot library

AShot library

Ashot library by yandex.ru is something which I recently found. It can be used for multiple browsers.
It is very simple to use.

Just add maven dependency in your java code.

<dependency>

    <groupId>ru.yandex.qatools.ashot</groupId>

    <artifactId>ashot</artifactId>

    <version>1.5.2</version>

</dependency>

</pre>

Then call the takeScreenshot() function,as shown below and you have a screenshot file.

new AShot()

  .shootingStrategy(ShootingStrategies.viewportPasting(100))

  .takeScreenshot(myWebDriver);

You could even select specific html elements and take their screenshots.

WebElement webElement = webDriver.findElement(By.cssSelector("#element_to_be _captured"));

new AShot()

  .takeScreenshot(myWebDriver, webElement);

All this can be found at below repository.

Know of any more libraries to take browser screenshots ? Let me know in the comments.

How to convert a CSV file to XLSX

I wrote this utility for a friend of mine who wanted to convert large (~50MB) CSV files to XLSX. The CSV files had comma "," as a delimiter. I have used apache poi utility in this program. https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.lua/poi/release/RELEASE-NOTES.txt This code uses SXSSFWorkbook class. The SXSSFWorkbook class uses "BigGridDemo" strategy, where only portions being processed are kept in memory. There are temporary files created which store the rest of the temporary data. setCompressTempFiles() method allows these temp files to be compressed. The size of these files can get quite large. The data to be converted was UTF-8 encoded data. So, we are using OutputStreamWriter, where we specify the encoding of the data. If you do not need the encoding, just remove that parameter from the constructor call of OutputStreamWriter. The system where this ran, supported Java 7, so have not used features in java 8, such as try with exceptions. import java.io.*; im...

How to detect browser closing events and warn user before closing

To solve this, I googled the problem and found out that this was a very common problem. I just used below java script code in my webpage's header. Q. How to detect browser closing event and save your data Ans: The onunload event gets fired when the browser is closed or refreshed(using F5 or the refresh button). So now It turns out that the data was getting saved unnecessarily on refreshing the page. For that I stumbled across a forum where I found the solution.(It works for IE only) Q.How to disable function key F5? Ans: document.attachEvent("onkeydown", my_onkeydown_handler); function my_onkeydown_handler() { switch (event.keyCode) { case 116 : // 'F5' event.retur...
