I am using Puppeteer to try to take a screenshot of a website after all images have loaded but can't get it to work.

Here is the code I've got so far, I am using https://www.digg.com as the example website:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch();
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.goto('https://www.digg.com/');

    await page.setViewport({width: 1640, height: 800});

    await page.evaluate(() => {
        return Promise.resolve(window.scrollTo(0,document.body.scrollHeight));
    });

    await page.waitFor(1000);

    await page.evaluate(() => {
        var images = document.querySelectorAll('img');

        function preLoad() {

            var promises = [];

            function loadImage(img) {
                return new Promise(function(resolve,reject) {
                    if (img.complete) {
                        resolve(img)
                    }
                    img.onload = function() {
                        resolve(img);
                    };
                    img.onerror = function(e) {
                        resolve(img);
                    };
                })
            }

            for (var i = 0; i < images.length; i++)
            {
                promises.push(loadImage(images[i]));
            }

            return Promise.all(promises);
        }

        return preLoad();
    });

    await page.screenshot({path: 'digg.png', fullPage: true});

    browser.close();
})();

There is a built-in option for that:

await page.goto('https://www.digg.com/', {"waitUntil" : "networkidle0"});

networkidle0 - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 0 network connections for at least 500 ms

networkidle2 - consider navigation to be finished when there are no more than 2 network connections for at least 500 ms.

P.S. Of course it won't work if you're working with endless-scrolling-single-page-applications like Twitter.
