Screamshot

Python library to capture screenshots of web applications

Good practices

  • Any code addition must be done in your own branch. You can name it fl/what_this_branch_brings where 'f' is the first letter of your first name and 'l' the first letter of your last name.
  • A branch resolves a specific issue.
  • Please write exhaustive tests. The coverage must not decrease.
  • Please merge the master branch into yours, run the tests and checks and correct all errors and warnings before pushing your code.
  • When you think you have finished you can make a pull request.

Testing and checks

To start the tests and checks

The first time

  1. Install docker and docker-compose.
  2. Run: docker-compose build, to create all the required images.
  3. To start the verification, run: docker-compose up.

When it is already setup

You just need to run docker-compose up.

To clean up

  • If you want to stop containers and remove containers, networks, volumes, and images created by up command, run: docker-compose down.
  • If you want to delete all the images, run: docker rmi -f $(docker images -q).

To write new tests

  • You must use the unittest package
  • You must put your test file in the tests folder
  • You must name your test file using the following next pattern: test_*.py

Local server

A server with a web page can be used at the following address: http://server:5000/index.html and http://server:5000/other.html

Usage

Documentation

The documentation is accessible here, on readthedocs.

Exemple with django

The server must be launched using --nothreading and --noreload as argument.

# views.py in a Django project
from django.http import HttpResponse

import asyncio

from screamshot import generate_bytes_img_prom

def home(request):
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    future = asyncio.Future()

    asyncio.ensure_future(
        generate_bytes_img_prom('https://www.google.fr', future))
    loop.run_until_complete(future)

    return HttpResponse(future.result(), content_type='image')

Or using the already wrapped function

# views.py in a Django project
from django.http import HttpResponse

from screamshot import generate_bytes_img__django_wrap

def home(request):
    img = generate_bytes_img__django_wrap('https://www.google.fr')
    return HttpResponse(img, content_type='image')

Using Gunicorn

With Gunicorn there isn't the thread related problems so we don't need to use the --nothreading and --noreload arguments.

CHANGELOG

0.0.1

Initialization of Screamshot library

  1. init file:
    • author
    • version
    • all
  2. core file:
    • A ScreenShot object with three methods:
      • load, loads a web page
      • screamshot, takes a screenshot of a loaded page
      • load_and_screamshot, loads a web page and takes a screenshot

0.1.0

  • There is no more ScreenShot object just a function named generate_bytes_img which takes some parameters and returns a binary bytes object.

0.1.1

  • generate_bytes_img is no more a sync function and generate_bytes_img_prom has been added
  • generate_bytes_img_prom uses the asyncio.Future object

0.1.2

  • A test and verification tool using Docker is now available

0.1.3

  • Add browser-manager script
  • Add screamshot script

0.1.4

  • Add serialize function
  • Add deserialize function

0.1.5

  • Add generate_bytes_img_django_wrap function

0.1.6

  • Module is now available

0.1.7

  • The browser endpoint is saved in the temporary directory

0.1.8

  • serialize function returns a dict object
  • deserialize takes a dict object

0.1.9

  • Remove serializer functions
  • Add a bytes_to_img function

0.1.10

  • generate_bytes_img_django_wrap is renamed generate_bytes_img_wrap
  • Error are handled

0.1.11

  • bytes_to_png is renamed bytes_to_file
  • bytes_to_file supports type choice

0.1.12

  • You can now fetch http headers from another page with get_token
  • And store these headers in the local storage
