Command to take screenshots

[bobatsar]

Is there any command planned to take screenshots? This would be very handy to document changes between different versions of an app.

That would be relatively easy to add, so we will address this soon 👍

@dmitry-zaitsev we can use dadb to take screenshots via adb. I do think that we can go with something like this

adb shell screencasts -p /sdcard/$name adb pull /sdcard/$name $opt adb shell em /sdcard/$name

[dmitry-zaitsev]

@ca-ke indeed, that is more or less how it would go. If you like to give it a try, I can guide you through the implementation steps

@dmitry-zaitsev and @ca-ke do you folks have a DSL in mind?

[dmitry-zaitsev]

Something like:

- takeScreenshot: {file name}

Good news - this is now available in 1.7.0: https://maestro.mobile.dev/reference/take-screenshot

Credit for Android implementation goes to @ragunathjawahar , thank you!
