Testing hover states about backstopjs HOT 4 CLOSED

Your hunch is right. You can learn how to do these kinds of tests in the Casper docs.

Ideally there'd be some documentation on setting up these tests within the backstop.json file.

I wonder if this moves beyond the config-only simplicity of BackstopJS. If you want to test interactions, you need to write scripts, I think a much better tool would be PhantomCSS.

@malcomio @lewisnyman Totally completely agree with Lewis on this. I even mention PhantomCSS as a great tool for that kind of thing in this article... http://davidwalsh.name/visual-regression-testing-angular-applications

That said, I think the interactivity makes sense in some limited contexts -- like where you might want to wait-for-and-then-dismiss (e.g. click 'cancel') an email signup popup that overlays every single page (or app state) for all first time visitors. This is not so much because I want to test the interaction -- but the interaction is a dependency of the tests I want to do. Hope that makes sense...

For that reason it might be very helpful to be able to somehow include-or-require arbitrary casper code -- but I'd really want to draw the line at duplicating PhantomCSS functionality or use cases.
