PhantomJS has the option of taking a screenshot of the whole page (not just the current viewport). Is there any way to do so using Selenium? I am running the Cucumber/Capybara tests headlessly, using the headless gem. I would use PhantomJS, but I've had some other problems with it.

In case anyone washed up this shore looking for how to do this with Poltergeist you just need to pass the full argument:

page.save_screenshot('screen.png', full: true) # If providing a custom file name.
page.save_screenshot(full: true)               # Capybara sets a name based on timestamp.
page.save_and_open_screenshot('screen.png', full: true) # Same as save_screenshot.
page.save_and_open_screenshot(full: true)               # Same as save_screenshot.

Docs.

Hope it helps!
