Screenshots getting cut off when using Claude Code and Playwright? This is a common problem for beginners in test automation. In this article, we explain the causes and simple fixes. Learn how to capture full-page screenshots and save them after each action.
Why Do Screenshots Get Cut Off with Claude Code and Playwright?
I tried test automation with Playwright. But when I checked the screenshots, the same screen kept appearing.
Ah, listen well! The likely causes are these!
- The page is large. Parts of it cannot be seen without scrolling.
- Screenshots are not set to be saved after each action, such as typing or clicking.
- The system saves screenshots without scrolling the page first.
Does test automation have its limits?
Do not give up so soon! Indeed, there is a solution! Give Claude Code these instructions, and things shall improve!
- Save full-page screenshots, including areas that require scrolling.
- Save a screenshot after each action, such as entering text in a field.
- Scroll the page first, then save screenshots of the relevant sections.
