@public-ui/visual-tests v2.1.0

KoliBri - Visual Tests

Motivation

The KoliBri Visual Tests provide a way to add visual regression testing to theme modules.
It takes screenshots of every component defined in the React Sample App with the theme applied and compares them to their references.

Installation

You can install the KoliBri Visual Tests with npm, pnpm or yarn:

npm i -D @public-ui/visual-tests
pnpm i -D @public-ui/visual-tests
yarn add -D @public-ui/visual-tests

Usage

Add the following npm scripts to the theme's package.json:

{
    "scripts": {
        "test": "THEME_MODULE=src/index THEME_EXPORT=THEME_NAME kolibri-visual-test",
        "test-update": "THEME_MODULE=src/index THEME_EXPORT=THEME_NAME kolibri-visual-test --update-snapshots",
    }
}

• THEME_MODULE defines the relative path to the TypeScript module containing the the theme definitions. Without file extension.
• THEME_EXPERT defines the name of the export within the the module. (e.g., export const THEME_NAME = {/**/};) Defaults to default.

Run the tests with npm test. The first time, this will create a new folder snapshots which is supposed to be committed to the repository. In the following runs, new screenshots will be compared to this reference.

To update the reference screenshots call npm run test-update.
