Partial screenshot in Linux with Python Selenium

Question

Taking a partial screenshot of an element by its id is possible in windows, but it is not working in Linux can anyone please solve my problem.

Where I did a mistake in my code.

element = driver.find_element_by_id("s_curve")
element.save_screenshot("psr.png")

when it runs in windows, it successfully downloaded a screenshot of an element. but in Linux, it throws exceptions as webdriver exception in save_screenshot line

Hi Noor

Are you using the same browser on Windows and Linux?

Also, could you please post the entire code?

Thanks

Hey @Noor, Do you have the PIL Imaging library, Check it. if you don't have it you can install it with pip install Pillow.

Try after installing this!

May be you should check the version compatibility.
