How to take an OS level screen capture using ruby selenium webdriver

Question

I know selenium has an option to take a screen capture of a webpage using

@driver.save_screenshot("image.png")  

but is there a function to take an OS level screen capture? with the browser header, background etc.

Answer 1

I would try to do this without using selenium. Selenium/Webdriver really only interacts with the browser. It's not meant to perform OS level functions.

I'm not a ruby user, but I found this with a quick Google search: https://github.com/jarmo/win32screenshot If you are on windows, this seems like it might work.
