snaptest v0.0.6

Installation

npm install snaptest -g

Usage

CLI

snaptest

This command will run through the snaptest.config file in the current directory. If it is not found, a generic one will be made.

snaptest-rails

This command is the same as snaptest, but it will go talk to your Rails application to mine your "named routes" and add them to the Snaptest.path array as long as the directory you run this from is a Rails application.

snaptest.config

This file determines how snaptest will run - everything from mananging states or to the width at which you'd like to snap screenshots. Here's a sample snaptest.config file below:

{
  "host": "www.yoursitehere.com", // string. required. snaptest will run all paths against this host.
  "width": 1024, // integer. default is 1024 if not set. snaptest will hit each path with this width.
  "height": 768, // integer. default is 768 if not set. snaptest will hit each path with this height.
  "ignore": [ "some_path", ... ], // array[string]. contains a list of path names to not visit.
  "paths": {
    "some_path": { // string. name of the path.
      "path": "/path", // string. path to visit. will be added to host. can be a fully-qualified URL.
      "params": { "key": "value", ... }, // Object. will populate $key$ with value in path.
      "cases": [ // array[Object]. contains a list of case configurations. will screenshot after every case.
        {
          "name": "Case Name", // string. a name for the case.
          "actions": [ // array[Object]. will perform each nightmare action after visiting the path.
            { "nightmareAction": [ "nightmareArg1", "nightmareArg2", ... ] },
            ...
          ],
          "params": { "key": "value", ... }, // Object. will populate $key$ with value in path.
          "only": [ "Another State", ... ], // array[string]. will only perform the case for the states listed.
          "except": [ "A State", ... ] // array[string]. will only perform the case for states not listed.
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "states": { // Object. each attribute represents the name of a state. will visit each path once in each state.
    "A State": {
      "width": 1024, // integer. sets the width of the viewport for a state.
      "height": 768, // integer. sets the height of the viewport for a state.
      "partial": true // boolean. if set to true, it will not visit any paths.
    },
    "Another State": {
      "before" : [ // array[Object]. will perform each nightmare action before visiting the path.
        { "nightmareAction": [ "nightmareArg1", "nightmareArg2", ... ] },
        ...
      ]
      "ignore": [ "some_path", ... ], // array[string]. paths the state will not visit.
      "inherits": [ "A State", ... ] // array[string]. gains attributes of listed states.
    },
  }
}

Nightmare actions

Wherever you see "nightmareAction" in snaptest.config you may use any of the actions listed at https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare#interact. For actions requiring no arguments, pass an empty array.
