As from Selenium 4 it is possible to take screenshots of WebElements. The code below shows how you can do that.
@Test
public void elementScreenShot() throws InterruptedException, IOException {
driver.get("https://www.github.com");
WebElement svg = driver.findElement(By.id("Layer_1"));
File file = svg.getScreenshotAs(OutputType.FILE);
FileUtils.copyFile(file, new File("target/screenshot/element-screenshot.png"));
// Added this sleep for demo purpose only
Thread.sleep(15000);
}
Line 7 demonstrates how to take a screenshot of a WebElement.
If you want to perform screenshot comparisons, I recommend you take a look at Ashot API.
