Screenshots

Introduction​

Here is a quick way to capture a screenshot and save it into a file:

page.screenshot(new Page.ScreenshotOptions()
      .setPath(Paths.get("screenshot.png")));

Screenshots API accepts many parameters for image format, clip area, quality, etc. Make sure to check them out.

Full page screenshots​

Full page screenshot is a screenshot of a full scrollable page, as if you had a very tall screen and the page could fit it entirely.

page.screenshot(new Page.ScreenshotOptions()
  .setPath(Paths.get("screenshot.png"))
  .setFullPage(true));

Capture into buffer​

Rather than writing into a file, you can get a buffer with the image and post-process it or pass it to a third party pixel diff facility.

byte[] buffer = page.screenshot();
System.out.println(Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(buffer));

Element screenshot​

Sometimes it is useful to take a screenshot of a single element.

page.locator(".header").screenshot(new Locator.ScreenshotOptions().setPath(Paths.get("screenshot.png")));
