I just ran into a use-case where a problem at the bottom of the page was over-looked in my testing.

I thought it would be awesome if screen-shot tests could somehow render the entire page height - or at least substantially more. I know I can change rez to something bigger, but if you have a long site and something goes wrong in the footer, the current screen-shot system won't help.

After the client reported it, I was able to add an anchor to the page bottom and used it in the link, but the renders were all of the top portion of the page anyway. Looks like screen-shots ignore anchors?

I know I can pick a higher rez for my screenies, but I'm still interested in testing mainly for the most common width (1024). Maybe if the screenshot browser was set to 1024 x 2400 high, that might do it...but I don't see an option quite like that.

Something to consider as it would make this a more effective tool for spotting cross-browser issues on more than just the first 700 pixels of the target page.

Of course my dream feature would be an automatic full-height render.

Hi Joe, I think we have what

Hi Joe,
I think we have what you want - we just 'hide' it. When looking at the results from an automatic screenshot, look at the top right of the screen for a link that says "View: Windowed | Full Page". Click on the Full Page link to see the entire page rendered. In order to make this work across all the platforms and browsers we support, we have to do multiple screen captures and stitch the page together to make the full screenshot, but it works for most pages as long as the software can figure out where the screens should be stitched together properly.

Let us know if you were looking for something else.

Thanks
Ken
