How do I capture a full-page screenshot using Playwright?

Answer

Question: How can I take a full-page screenshot with Playwright?

Answer:

Sure, you can capture a full-page screenshot with Playwright by setting the fullPage property to true. Here's how you can do it:

import { test } from '@playwright/test';

test('full page screenshot', async ({ page }) => {
  await page.goto('https://ray.run/');
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
});

In the above code, fullPage: true tells Playwright to capture the entire scrollable page. By default, fullPage is false, meaning only the visible viewport is captured.

Remember, full-page screenshots can take more time and result in larger files. Also, if you're using omitBackground with a full-page screenshot, it won't have any effect. This property only works with non-full-page screenshots.

So, if you need to capture a whole webpage, setting fullPage to true is a good idea. But, be aware of the potential time and file size implications.
