problem Recording Screencast of Selenium Tests using java ScreenRecorder jar API's

i always get a error since i am not able to pass "ENCODING_BLACK_CURSOR" variable in the constructor. what is the alternative i can pass?

i am trying to record my automation tests using webdriver

We do not have access to the ScreenRecorder class, so how on earth should we know?

package mypackage;
import java.awt.GraphicsConfiguration;
import java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment;

import org.monte.screenrecorder.ScreenRecorder;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.ExpectedCondition;
import org.openqa.selenium.support.ui.WebDriverWait;
public class SeScreenCastDemo {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

// Create a instance of GraphicsConfiguration to get the Graphics configuration
		// of the Screen. This is needed for ScreenRecorder class.
		GraphicsConfiguration gc = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment().getDefaultScreenDevice().getDefaultConfiguration();
		// Create a instance of ScreenRecorder with the required configurations
	
		ScreenRecorder screenRecorder = new ScreenRecorder(gc, "AVI", 24, "ENCODING_BLACK_CURSOR",15,30,0);

// Create a new instance of the Firefox driver
		WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

// Call the start method of ScreenRecorder to begin recording
		screenRecorder.start();

// And now use this to visit Google
		driver.get("http://www.google.com");	 
		// Alternatively the same thing can be done like this
		// driver.navigate().to("http://www.google.com");

// Find the text input element by its name
		WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));

// Enter something to search for
		element.sendKeys("Cheese!");

// Now submit the form. WebDriver will find the form for us from the element
		element.submit();

// Check the title of the page
		System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());

// Google's search is rendered dynamically with JavaScript.
		// Wait for the page to load, timeout after 10 seconds
		(new WebDriverWait(driver, 10)).until(new ExpectedCondition<Boolean>() {	 public Boolean apply(WebDriver d) {
			return d.getTitle().toLowerCase().startsWith("cheese!");
		}});

// Should see: "cheese! - Google Search"
		System.out.println("Page title is: " + driver.getTitle());

//Close the browser
		driver.quit();

// Call the stop method of ScreenRecorder to end the recording	 screenRecorder.stop();

}
}

i have downloaded the ScreenRecorder.jar from the below link

http://www.randelshofer.ch/monte/

The Javadoc on that site indicates that ScreenRecorder has two constructors. One takes only a GraphicsConfiguration object, the other a GraphicsConfiguration object and four org.monte.media.Format objects. That doesn't match the constructor you're trying to call.

i am struggling to pass the Format class parameters. could you show some sample values which i can pass?

Not really, I haven't used that library before.

please can anyone help me with this?

I am able to integrate video recording with selenium tests, but can I integrate this with Maven? Please help

I haven't used it, but this http://mojo.codehaus.org/selenium-maven-plugin/ looks promising.

Thanks, I resolved it.

Could you share your solution? In the future, others with a similar problem might be reading this thread.

This is a useful link for screen recording

For maven integration -
You have to upload ScreenRecorder jar in to maven repository and modify the pom accordingly.
