Unable to screenshot several places on GitHub? #96

Hi Winston! Cool R package you've got here. I tried to screenshot GitHub using webshot and either got long black rectangles or a tiny snippet of the page.

Tried playing with the selector and the delay arguments as well to fix it but to no avail. Specifically, it looks like GH home pages (i.e. github.com/wch/webshot or github.com/lzim/teampsd) don't seem to work as well as Project boards (i.e. https://github.com/lzim/teampsd/projects/7).

Also, am I correct in assuming webshot will only work for pages that are publicly accessible? i.e. if you have to login to see a certain view it won't work?

Any help appreciated!

Hi @staceypark, I think you should check out webshot2 and chromote.

@wch great that got it to work! 😄 any way to screenshot password protected pages by giving it my password somehow? i.e. if I wanted it to login to Facebook and take a screenshot of my timeline
