SnapAndCompare is an easy to use screenshot comparison tool used for CSS Visual Regression Testing built using NodeJS.
NO CODE...JUST CONFIGS.
It can compare against a single environment or dual and will produce visuals and equality stats on image comparisons.
Run in standalone mode or if you give a watchFile will run everytime that is updated/saved (useful for SASS development).
brew install graphicsmagick
Or if that doesn't work install from source (http://www.graphicsmagick.org/download.html).
./configure
make
sudo make install
npm install
Update the config.js file to hold the masterUrl and diffUrl you need (they are often the same but not always)
Run (first builds initial snapshot, second builds diff and compares):
node snapandcompare.js
node snapandcompare.js
First run : For all Breakpoints will check if a master image exists, if not will create one.
Second run: For all Breakpoints will find the master image, create a new .diff image and run a comparison on the two producing a .fail image and flagging up if the images differ.
After that:
For each Breakpoint it will either compare against the diff or download a new Master image (depending on what already exists in /screenshots).
It will continually run on save of the file. It will flag up the status of each Breakpoint as PASS or FAIL.
First run:
On save of watchFile it will create the Master files after that will run the comparison evertime it detects a change.
- Swap the config files and run the program to test.
