testcafe-blink-diff

How it works?

Install this dependency in your project, e.g. npm i testcafe-blink-diff --save-dev

Call the takeSnapshot() helper within your tests, e.g.

import { takeSnapshot } from 'testcafe-blink-diff';

fixture('Snapshots')
  .page('http://localhost:8080');

test('check something here', async t => {
  // verify anything you want before
  await t
    .click('...')
    .expect('...')
    .ok();

  // then pass the `t` reference to invoke the helper
  await takeSnapshot(t);
});

Run your tests adding --take-snapshot to take the base screenshots.

$ npx testcafe chrome:headless tests/e2e/cases -s tests/screenshots --take-snapshot

Now run the same tests without --take-snapshot to take the actual screenshots to compare with.

Finally, invoke the CLI for generating a simple generated/index.html report, e.g.

$ npx testcafe-blink-diff tests/screenshots --open --threshold 0.03 # <= 3% is OK

That's all, explore the generated report and enjoy!
