See original GitHub issue

Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

When I run tests within a CI, I upload an artifacts that contains screenshots and videos of failed test.

This is how it look like for the screenshots

This is the video shot in CI: <video src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/77674046/204561099-597271b2-9bcd-4b68-ba41-e7273432b2b6.mp4"></video>

This is the video log: wdio-0-0-Video-reporter.log

Both work locally.

We expect to have proper screenshot of our app

I usually pin issues in such case, although this only makes sense if we get the same issue reported by multiple people. For now it was only a single report so far.

These are client logs, I need server ones

If it works locally then, most likely, there is an issue with the screenshot fetching/uploading code. It has nothing to do with driver functionality
