: Selector for element to screenshot, captures entire page if not setTEST_WAIT_FOR_SELECTOR
: Wait for specific element before taking screenshotTEST_WAIT_TIMEOUT
: Timeout for waiting for element (milliseconds)TEST_THRESHOLD
: Pixel difference threshold for image comparison (0-100), default 100TEST_IGNORE_SELECTORS
: List of selectors to ignore during comparison, comma separatedTEST_VIEWPORT_WIDTH
: Browser viewport width, default 1280TEST_VIEWPORT_HEIGHT
: Browser viewport height, default 720
Project Configuration
PROJECT_ROOT
: Absolute path to project root directory for storing screenshots and files
Notes
- All configuration items are optional, but it's recommended to configure essential login information and viewport size
- Screenshots will be saved in the
screenshots
folder in the project root directory - Comparison results will generate three files:
current.png
: Current test screenshotbaseline.png
: Baseline screenshotdiff.png
: Difference comparison image
- On first run, the current screenshot will automatically be set as the baseline image
