@percy/selenium-webdriver

Percy visual testing for Selenium.js.

Installation

$ npm install --save-dev @percy/cli @percy/selenium-webdriver

Usage

This is an example using the percySnapshot function. For other examples of selenium-webdriver usage, see the Selenium JS docs.

const { Builder } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const percySnapshot = require('@percy/selenium-webdriver');

(async function example() {
  let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').build();

  try {
    await driver.get('http://google.com/');
    await percySnapshot(driver, 'Google Homepage');

    await driver.get('http://example.com/');
    await percySnapshot(driver, 'Example Site');
  } finally {
    await driver.quit();
  }
})();

Running the code above directly will result in the following logs:

$ node script.js
[percy] Percy is not running, disabling snapshots

When running with percy exec, and your project's PERCY_TOKEN, a new Percy build will be created and snapshots will be uploaded to your project.

$ export PERCY_TOKEN=[your-project-token]
$ percy exec -- node script.js
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] Created build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Running "node script.js"
[percy] Snapshot taken "Google Homepage"
[percy] Snapshot taken "Example Site"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!

Configuration

percySnapshot(driver, name[, options])

• driver (required) - A selenium-webdriver driver instance
• name (required) - The snapshot name; must be unique to each snapshot
• options - See per-snapshot configuration options

Upgrading

Automatically with @percy/migrate

We built a tool to help automate migrating to the new CLI toolchain! Migrating can be done by running the following commands and following the prompts:

$ npx @percy/migrate
? Are you currently using @percy/selenium-webdriver (@percy/seleniumjs)? Yes
? Install @percy/cli (required to run percy)? Yes
? Migrate Percy config file? Yes
? Upgrade SDK to @percy/selenium-webdriver@1.0.0? Yes

This will automatically run the changes described below for you.

Manually

Uninstalling @percy/seleniumjs

If you're coming from the @percy/seleniumjs package, make sure to uninstall that package first before installing this one.

$ npm uninstall @percy/seleniumjs

Now you can safely install @percy/selenium-webdriver and @percy/cli.

Installing @percy/cli

If you're coming from a pre-1.0 version of this package, make sure to install @percy/cli after upgrading to retain any existing scripts that reference the Percy CLI command.

$ npm install --save-dev @percy/cli

Migrating Config

If you have a previous Percy configuration file, migrate it to the newest version with the config:migrate command:

$ percy config:migrate

Running Percy on Automate

percyScreenshot(driver, name, options) [ needs @percy/cli 1.27.0-beta.0+ ];

This is an example test using the percyScreenshot method.

const { Builder } = require('selenium-webdriver');
const { percyScreenshot } = require('@percy/selenium-webdriver'); // both for selenium-webdriver/wdio

(async function example() {
const driver = new webdriver.Builder().usingServer('https://hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub').withCapabilities(capabilities).build(); // pass automate capabilities

  try {
    await driver.get('http://google.com/');
    await percyScreenshot(driver, 'Screenshot 1');

    await driver.get('http://example.com/');
    await percyScreenshot(driver, 'Screenshot 2');
  } finally {
    await driver.quit();
  }
})();

• driver (required) - A Selenium driver instance
• name (required) - The screenshot name; must be unique to each screenshot
• options (optional) - There are various options supported by percyScreenshot to server further functionality.
  • sync - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, Gives the processed result around screenshot [From CLI v1.28.0-beta.0+]
  • fullPage - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, Takes full page screenshot [From CLI v1.27.6+]
  • freezeAnimatedImage - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, you can pass true and percy will freeze image based animations.
  • freezeImageBySelectors - List of selectors. Images will be freezed which are passed using selectors. For this to work freezeAnimatedImage must be set to true.
  • freezeImageByXpaths - List of xpaths. Images will be freezed which are passed using xpaths. For this to work freezeAnimatedImage must be set to true.
  • percyCSS - Custom CSS to be added to DOM before the screenshot being taken. Note: This gets removed once the screenshot is taken.
  • ignoreRegionXpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be ignored using xpath
  • ignoreRegionSelectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be ignored using selectors.
  • ignoreRegionSeleniumElements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be ignored using selenium_elements.
  • customIgnoreRegions - List of custom objects. elements can be ignored using custom boundaries. Just passing a simple object for it like below.
    • example: {top: 10, right: 10, bottom: 120, left: 10}
    • In above example it will draw rectangle of ignore region as per given coordinates.
      • top (int): Top coordinate of the ignore region.
      • bottom (int): Bottom coordinate of the ignore region.
      • left (int): Left coordinate of the ignore region.
      • right (int): Right coordinate of the ignore region.
  • considerRegionXpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using xpaths.
  • considerRegionSelectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selectors.
  • considerRegionSeleniumElements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selenium_elements.
  • customConsiderRegions - List of custom objects. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using custom boundaries
    • example: {top: 10, right: 10, bottom: 120, left: 10}
    • In above example it will draw rectangle of consider region will be drawn.
    • Parameters:
      • top (int): Top coordinate of the consider region.
      • bottom (int): Bottom coordinate of the consider region.
      • left (int): Left coordinate of the consider region.
      • right (int): Right coordinate of the consider region.

Creating Percy on automate build

Note: Automate Percy Token starts with auto keyword. The command can be triggered using exec keyword.

$ export PERCY_TOKEN=[your-project-token]
$ percy exec -- [js test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] [Javascript example] : Starting automate screenshot ...
[percy] Screenshot taken "Javascript example"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!
