screenshot function for functional test with internjs Framework doens't work

Question

I'm using the intern framework for functional testing and running browser locally (Firefox version 39). Is there a way to capture screenshot png-file? I tried the following example How to take a screenshot with local browser (FF) and write to file in intern javascript but I get this error

" node_modules/intern/node_modules/dojo/dojo.js:757 throw new Error('Failed to load module ' + module.mid + ' from ' + url + ".

I'm a beginner to this intern js framework and leadfood.

Thank you very much for looking in.

Here is what I have:

 define([
            'intern!object',
            'intern/chai!assert',
            'require',
            'tests/support/personas'
        ], function (registerSuite, assert, require, personas) {

            registerSuite({
                name: 'index',
                'greeting form': function () {
                    var persona = personas[0]
                    return this.remote
                        .get(require.toUrl('https://www.google.de/'))
                        .setFindTimeout(5000)
                        //.setFindTimeout(5000)
                      .findByCssSelector('input[id="billingAddress.zip"]')
                              .click()
                              .type('50800')
                              .end()

                    .getCurrentUrl()
                    .takeScreenshot
                    .then(function (data) {
                    fs.writeFileSync('/tmp/myCapture', data,'base64');
                    )}

OK you're seeing an error here because of the way in which you're telling intern to navigate to the URL.

You are using .get(require.toUrl('https://www.google.de/')) which is incorrect. You only use .get(require.toUrl('...')) with intern version 3 and only if you are asking intern to open a static web page from a file on your local machine.

So if / when you're using the .get(require.toUrl('...')) method, you should be sending it a location to a HTML file from your local machine rather than a URL.

What you should use instead is:

.get('https://www.google.de/')

This will resolve that error for you!

Just for the record - the use of .get(require.toUrl()) is no longer used in intern version 4. With version 4, you use .get() regardless of whether you're using a URL or a file.
