A happo.io plugin for Storybook. See https://medium.com/happo-io/cross-browser-screenshot-testing-with-happo-io-and-storybook-bfb0b848a97a for a lengthier introduction to this plugin.

Add the following to your .happo.js configuration file:

// .happo.js
const happoPluginStorybook = require('happo-plugin-storybook');

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    happoPluginStorybook({
      // options go here
    }),
  ],
}

Add this to .storybook/config.js:

// .storybook/config.js

import 'happo-plugin-storybook/register';

• configDir specify the name of the Storybook configuration directory. The default is .storybook.
• outputDir the name of the directory where compiled files are saved. The default is '.out'.
• staticDir directory where to load static files from, comma-separated list.

These options are the same ones used for the build-storybook CLI command. See https://storybook.js.org/configurations/cli-options/#for-build-storybook

If you want to have better control over what addons and/or decorators get loaded you can make use of the isHappoRun function exported by happo-plugin-storybook/register:

// .storybook/config.js
import { isHappoRun } from 'happo-plugin-storybook/register';

if (!isHappoRun()) {
  // load some addons/decorators that happo won't use
} else {
  // load some addons/decorators that happo will use
}

In a perfect case scenario, your stories should be built in such a way that all of them work well in Happo environment. Sometimes though you might want to disable some of the stories in Happo preview, i.e. because they depend on dynamic data that can't be accessed from Happo environment.

In such case you can pass happo: false story parameter to it:

storiesOf('FooComponent', module)
  .add('Default', () => <FooComponent />);
  .add('Dynamic', () => <DynamicFooComponent />, { happo: false });

// or

storiesOf('FooComponent', module)
  .addParameters({ happo: false })
  .add('Dynamic', () => <DynamicFooComponent />);

Happo will make its best to wait for your stories to render, but at times you might need a little more control in the form of delays. There are two ways to set delays: one global and one per story. Here's an example of setting a global delay:

import { setDefaultDelay } from 'happo-plugin-storybook/register';

setDefaultDelay(100); // in milliseconds

Here's how you set an individual delay:

storiesOf('FooComponent', module)
  .add('delayed', () => <FooComponent />, { happo: { delay: 200 } });

In some cases, examples might not be ready by the time Happo takes the screenshot. Adding a delay might help, but only if the asynchronous event is consistently timed. In these cases the waitForContent parameter might help. Let's assume that PaymentForm in the example below loads some third-party iframe that you have no control over, loading a credit card form. In order to wait for the iframe to finish, we can add a waitForContent parameter with some unique string in the iframe.

storiesOf('PaymentForm', module)
  .add('default', () => <PaymentForm />, { happo: { waitForContent: 'Credit card' } });

When you're using this plugin, some of the regular Happo commands and configuration options aren't available. These include:

• include
• type
• customizeWebpackConfig
• publicFolders
• setupScript
• renderWrapperModule
• rootElementSelector
• jsdomOptions
• The happo dev command

If you want to debug your test suite similar to how the Happo browser workers do it, you can follow these steps:

1. In a browser, go to the storybook URL. E.g. http://localhost:3000
2. The URL will change to something like http://localhost:3000/?selectedKind=foo&selectedStory=default
3. Change the URL to point to /iframe.html, e.g. http://localhost:3000/iframe.html
4. Open the javascript console
5. Paste this javascript snippet and hit enter: happo.nextExample().then((item) => console.log(item))
6. Run that code again repeatedly to step through each example (use the arrow up key to reuse the last command)

To quickly run through all examples, follow steps 1-4, then paste this script instead:

var renderIter = function() { window.happo.nextExample().then(function(a) { if (!a) { return; } console.log(a); renderIter(); }) }; renderIter();

• Getting a Failed on worker error? Make sure you are making a call to import 'happo-plugin-storybook/register' in your .storybook/config.js file.
• Getting spurious diffs from fonts not loading? Happo workers will wait for fonts to load before taking the screenshot, but it assumes that fonts it has already seen are already available. Make sure the @font-face declaration is declared globally and not part of the stories themselves.
