StartVideoRecord()

Description​

These commands gives you the ability to video record the test execution, and later view it as part of the generated report.

Parameters​

None

Usage​

Example:   

The record will start once the command StartVideoRecord is executed in the script, and will stop when the command StopVideoRecordis called for.

To launch the video, choose the StopVideoRecord command. This step will include the video of the execution.

info

There are no limitations on the number of different videos that can be generated during a single script. You can add the StartVideoRecord / StopVideoRecord  commands multiple times during a script, and for each block the video will show in the report under the proper StopVideoRecord command.

To enable it on Grid client need to add the following line:

grid

gridClient.enableVideoRecording();

The following properties of file app.properties can affect the quality and the duration of the recorded video:

  • VideoBuilder.timeScalePerSecond=<FPS>
    which sets how many frames are to be taken per second, i.e., the quality of the video. By default, the quality is four frames per second. For example, in order to set the video quality to 7 frames per second, you can add the following entry to file app.properties:
    VideoBuilder.timeScalePerSecond=7
  • VideoBuilder.videoMaxSize=<SIZE_LIMIT_IN_BITS>
    which limits the size of the produced video file. The actual limit is slightly above <SIZE_LIMIT_IN_BITS> bytes. For example, in order to limit the recorded video by approximately 1MB, you can add the following entry to file app.properties:
    VideoBuilder.videoMaxSize=10000000
    When this property is not set, the video-file size is limited by nearly 100MB.
    It is not recommended to set this value to a small number.
