Failed to execute 'toDataURL' on 'HTMLCanvasElement': Tainted canvases may not be exported.

[deanoemcke]

Bug reports:

I am getting a tainted canvas error, even with the allowTaint flag set to false. Similar to #1409. The url I'm testing is: http://en.miui.com/forum.php I'm not sure how to set up a jsFiddle with this sorry, but I have tested it via a chrome extension using the executeScript functionality.

From extension:

var captureScreenCode = 
  `html2canvas(document.body, {
    allowTaint: false,
    useCORS: false
    }).then(function(canvas) {
    console.log(canvas.toDataURL());
  });`;
chrome.tabs.executeScript(1234, { file: 'html2canvas.js' }, () => {
  chrome.tabs.executeScript(1234, { code: captureScreenCode });
});

Console output of tab:

I'm able to get toDataURL() with html2canvas 0.4.1 but not latest one.

I've switched to "dom to image" library which solved my issue. Here is the result match-it

[jamesmarva]

hi man, do you solve it ?

[amitguptagwl]

@jamesmarva as you've not addressed particular one in your problem, yes as I said I've switched to other library which solved my problem.

[jamesmarva]

@amitguptagwl thanks, do you know use which library to save website-screenshot to he image?

[amitguptagwl]

@jamesmarva This is what I used to save image of particular div. I hope it should work for full page as well

Let us hack it

const TempImage = window.Image

const Image = function() {
      const img = new TempImage()
      img.crossOrigin = 'anonymous'
      return img
}

It works

      return img

It works

crossOrigin is anonymous by default.
