Update
I resolved it using
Screenshot screenshot = new AShot().coordsProvider(new WebDriverCoordsProvider()).takeScreenshot(driver,driver.findElement(By.xpath(webElementXpath)));

use aShot.coordsProvider(new WebDriverCoordsProvider())

Hello!
I have tried to use addIgnoredElement method, and it returned error (screenshot: http://prntscr.com/e9a37q)
I have read some articles about it in your github issues, but there were nothing, about this error in my case with addIgnoredElement. In all other cases it works perfect.
Please help!

any idea why have you closed the issue?
it still fires:
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: $ is not defined
Expected:
ru.yandex.qatools.ashot.coordinates..CoordsProvider.Exception: "use aShot.coordsProvider(new WebDriverCoordsProvider())"
