They were intentionally moved - see:

Nice! There are a couple of minor issues though:

- The screenshots are saving with names like:
TemplateSelectionFeatureTest-2017-03-02 10/06/24.253843.png. Can you
please:

  * Change the / to a . or similar? Having forward slashes in
filenames is likely to be painful (the space should probably be
changed to an _ as well).
  * Store the screenshots in a sub-directory named for the server
that's currently being tested? That'll make it much easier to
associate a screenshot with the right server in multi-server runs
(each of my runs currently tests against 10 different servers for
example).

- I modified the ConnectToServer test to induce a failure. When I ran
the tests (on macOS Sierra, with Python 2.7) the testsuite took
screenshots for every test, not just the ones that failed. We should
only store them for tests that actually did fail.

Thanks, Dave.
