Failing to record screenshots

[tripolkaandrey]

Preface

I am integrating screenshot testing in my Jetpack Compose application. Despite trying different library versions(5.+) and API levels(26-33), I always have some issues. I decided to pick one "combination" and, therefore, issue in the hope of getting some help—and hopefully, insight into issues with other configurations.

Dependencies

Shot => 5.14.1
Jetpack Compose => 1.3.1
Android Gradle Plugin => 7.3.1

Configuration

// `shot-configuration.gradle.kts`

plugins {
    id("com.android.application")
    id("shot")
}

shot {
    tolerance = 1.0 // 1%
}

dependencies {
    androidTestImplementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-junit4:1.3.1")
    debugImplementation("androidx.compose.ui:ui-test-manifest:1.3.1")
}

android {
    defaultConfig {
        testInstrumentationRunner = "com.karumi.shot.ShotTestRunner"
    }
}

Sample

class SampleTest : ScreenshotTest {

    @get:Rule
    val composeRule = createComposeRule()

    @Test
    fun test() {
        composeRule.setContent {
            Card {
                Text("I am a sample test.")
            }
        }
        compareScreenshot(composeRule)
    }
}

Device

I am launching an emulator with Pixel 6 API 30 via Android Studio.

Command

./gradlew executeScreenshotTests -Precord

Output

> Task :app:debugDownloadScreenshots
⬇️  Pulling screenshots from your connected devices!
Shot ADB warning: We could not pull screenshots from folder: /storage/emulated/0/Download/screenshots/app.test/screenshots-default/

🤔 We couldn't find any screenshot. Did you configure Shot properly and added your tests to your project? https://github.com/pedrovgs/Shot/#getting-started

Behaviour

The emulator seems to be doing the work while running the command. However, afterwards, there are no screenshots on the device and in the local screenshots directory.

For API 28-33 you need to enable non-SDK interfaces on your emulator via adb:
https://github.com/pedrovgs/Shot#using-shot-on-api-28

are you doing that?

[tripolkaandrey]

@sergio-sastre Thank you for your suggestion. Yes, I did enable it.

Do you have a windows machine?
Someone reportes similar error to me in this repo:
sergio-sastre/Android-screenshot-testing-playground#20

However, I do run it without any issues.
Could you check out if you also get the same error?

Do you have a windows machine?

No, I am using macOS.

I am experiencing the same issue.

Same issue... but in my another project it is working fine... Actually for the first time it worked when recording... Then it is not working.. I'm not sure why

After few hours of debugging, I found the problem...

The reason is that there are spaces in the project folder name or in the project path. Removing the spaces moved the screenshots to the project folder and fixed the error:

@pedrovgs Please, fix the problem or describe it in the documentation
