Screenshots not working: Illegal base64 character a #1783
Comments
|
This is happening because of SeleniumHQ/selenium#11168 |
Thanks, I tried downgrading up to 4.0.0, but still same issue. I'd rather avoid to downgrade to Selenium 3.x alltogether, any other option? |
|
The issue is relevant for Selenium Java client |
I'm sorry, but as I said, even with Selenium 4.0.0 I'm facing the same problem |
Right now I ran a dependency:tree on the pom, and it seems Appium java client still downloads selenium remote driver 4.5.3 as transitive dependency.

@algernon28 just add explicit Selenium dependencies |
|
@valfirst I added the two libraries to dependency management to resolve. Thanks |
|
Thanks @algernon28 , I was facing the same issue. This thread saved me :) |
I am also having same issue. Can you help how you resolved? |
Sure, Summarizing: Make sure you have selenium not above 4.5.0 <dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-support</artifactId>
<version>4.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependencyManagement>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-remote-driver</artifactId>
<version>4.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
<artifactId>selenium-api</artifactId>
<version>4.5.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>That way you are making 4.5.0 explicit and your libraries will stick to those. |

Thank you . It is working with above work around and it saved my day. |

Hi, I am facing java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal base64 character. Environment details : Appium version: 1.15.1,1.22.0 Dependencies am using : io.appium java-client 8.1.1 org.testng testng 6.14.3 ru.sbtqa.tag page-factory 1.3.0 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-support 4.5.0 com.aventstack extentreports 4.1.3 org.seleniumhq.selenium selenium-java 3.14.0 com.relevantcodes extentreports 2.41.2I am facing below Exception while trying to capture screenshot on Test Failure: [RemoteTestNG] detected TestNG version 7.4.0 |

@kajalpal2021, Did you tried above work around suggested by @algernon28. It worked for me after excluding libraries in Appium java client dependency. Refer above two posts. |
|
@algernon28 I had the same problem |
No this is an Appium java client issue, as stated in the discussion. |
|
I have used the two methods.the error is gone but extent report is not generated.any suggestions? |
|
The error (and this thread) was only referred to the screenshot problem,
I'm not even using Extent.
If you are experiencing some problem other than this I suggest you open
another issue, with the link to your Appium log.
Just saying "doesn't work" isn't going to help

The issue has been addressed since v 8.2.1 |
need appium fix for screenshot appium/java-client#1783
|
Using Selenium 4.7.0 and io.appium:java-client 8.3.0, this issue is still present. Just so you can see that there are no conflicts at all with the dependencies included with
The error message when running this code ... byte[] bytes = appiumDriver.findElement(AppiumBy.id("myId").getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);... looks like this: Edit String base64 = appiumDriver.findElement(AppiumBy.id("myId")..getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BASE64);
base64 = base64.replaceAll("[\n\r]", "");
byte[] bytes = Base64.getDecoder().decode(base64); |
I meet a similar issue, then I downgrade java-client version to 8.1.1 and it works |
|
@mykola-mokhnach latest comments suggests the issue still persists in 8.3.0, please advise. |

Whenever I try to take screenshots with Android driver, I get this error in my cucumber hook.

Might be useful to say that I open the app with a deepLink https://.page.link/tggE

Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ]
Capabilities:
{
"platformName": "Android",
"appium:platformVersion": "12.0",
"appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2",
"appium:deviceName": "emulator-5554",
"appium:deviceOrientation": "portrait",
"appium:avd": "A12",
"appium:newCommandTimeout": "120",
"appium:browserName": "Chrome"
}
the app is installed thru a @before hook
@before(order = 1)
public void startUp() {
InteractsWithApps ad = ((InteractsWithApps) driver);
String appFile = System.getProperty(MobileConstants.OPTION_APPFILE);
String appID = System.getProperty(MobileConstants.OPTION_APPID);
if(driver.getCapabilities().getCapability("app") != null)
return;
if (!ad.isAppInstalled(appID)) {
ad.installApp(Paths.get(appFile).toAbsolutePath().toString());
} else {
ad.removeApp(appID);
ad.installApp(Paths.get(appFile).toAbsolutePath().toString());
}
I access the app with this code:
driver.get(deeplink url);
-- Deep link gets opened via Chrome
((AndroidDriver) driver).context("NATIVE_APP");
-- follows test code --
the screenshot is taken after each step
screenshot = driver.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.BYTES);
When debugging, it seems to fail where the driver tries to convert the png to base64
