…acOS `screenshot` was only saving files for Pillow versions < 6.2.1. It now saves files for Pillow versions >= 6.2.1 as well. No new tests were added since there was already a (failing) test for this.

Hello, @asweigart, I am commenting to confirm that this pull request effectively solves the silent screenshot failure on macOS. I was experiencing the exact same issue on my system (macOS 15.6.1) where pyscreeze.screenshot() would run without error but produce no file. I have manually applied this fix, and it resolved the problem perfectly. The change makes the macOS implementation consistent with the Windows and Linux versions by adding the im.save() command. This seems to be a reliable and necessary fix. @addisonlee, Thank you for your work on this project. |

Summary
On macOS, the
screenshotfunction was only saving the user specified <imageFileName> for Pillow versions < 6.2.1.It now saves user specified files for Pillow versions >= 6.2.1 as well.
Testing notes
I did not add any tests since
test_pyscreeze.pyalready contained a failingtest_screenshottest.It contained 2 failing assertions. The 1st one (checking the saved file) now passes with this fix. The 2nd one (comparing size to resolution) still fails but it's a separate issue not related to this change.
