Taking Screenshots with Phantomjs from Sahi.

I have been working on phantomjs to take screenshots of webpage when running sahi script. I can do this when I use test scripting framework like Casperjs(casperjs.org) because it exposes phantomjs interface(captureSelector) to take full webpage screenshot. Sahi does not expose phantomjs interface to take screenshots. I think it will be great addition to sahi to full integrate with phantomjs and expose its interface. Currently, you can only take screenshot of visible viewport of screen in sahi. Integrating with phantomjs will allow you to take full webpage screenshots (unless sahi already supports it). Currently , I can run phantomjs as independent process through java code to take screenshot by passing url to it. There is limitation for webpages where you need to login. It is not possible to take webpage screenshot where authentication is required. Sahi, Do you have any suggestion?

    globalwarning, Thanks for ignoring my question. I expected this typical response from Sahi Support. I have to say that I am very disappointed in Sahi support. I have posted this question after doing so much research and looking through links posted by you. I can pay you hourly rate for making this work just by looking at information from from posted links by you. If you are interested in really answering the question, please dont bother.

    Ok, sorry I really don't want to be destructive. Maybe I just misundertstood what you said.
    I am no native english speaker and I have some problems figuring out what you want.

    So, you want a Sahi API which takes Screenshots of the whole Page. This is quite possible sure, but not with the current Sahi OS. In my opinion this would be a great Addition to the Sahi API. So I totally Support your request.

    There are 3 ways of getting this API.
    1) Spend money on Sahi Pro or pay someone to include this into Sahi OS
    2) Spend work on developing this yourself
    3) wait, for anyone to develope this for you (you could create an issue here: https://github.com/headissue/Sahi/issues)

    I hope this answers your question.
    Please be patient with the Support. As far as i know There is a Lot work going on in The Sahi Team.

    @globalwarming, I apologize for the harsh words. I am using sahi pro. I do have sahi pro license.
    The link you provided is for multiple monitors. I would like to take webpage screenshot with spans longer than visible screen and has scrollbars to scroll down. I was able to take screenshots with casperjs and phantom js because casperjs allows me to navigate from one page to another while maintaining session alive. casperjs also provides direct interface calls with phantomjs. I am wondering if sahi has any future plans for supporting phantomjs api calls.

    Sorry I cant answer that question as I have no insights into the Sahi Pro development. Maybe some of the Devs can help you. As a Sahi Pro user, you can write email directly at ... there is a mail.. support@sahi.co.in?
