Percy visual testing for Java Selenium.

Install/update @percy/cli dev dependency (requires Node 14+):

$ npm install --save-dev @percy/cli

Install maven:

$ brew install mvn

Run tests:

npm test

npm install @percy/cli:

$ npm install --save-dev @percy/cli

Add percy-java-selenium to your project dependencies. If you're using Maven:

<dependency>
  <groupId>io.percy</groupId>
  <artifactId>percy-java-selenium</artifactId>
  <version>1.2.0</version>
</dependency>

If you're using a different build system, see https://search.maven.org/artifact/io.percy/percy-java-selenium for details for your specific system.

This is an example test using the percy.snapshot function.

// import ...
import io.percy.selenium.Percy;

public class Example {
  private static WebDriver driver;
  private static Percy percy;

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
    options.setHeadless(true);
    driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
    percy = new Percy(driver);

    driver.get("https://example.com");
    percy.snapshot("Java example");
  }
}

Running the test above normally will result in the following log:

[percy] Percy is not running, disabling snapshots

When running with percy exec, and your project's PERCY_TOKEN, a new Percy build will be created and snapshots will be uploaded to your project.

$ export PERCY_TOKEN=[your-project-token]
$ percy exec -- [java test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] Created build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Snapshot taken "Java example"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!

The snapshot method arguments:

percy.snapshot(name, widths[], minHeight, enableJavaScript, percyCSS, scope)

• name (required) - The snapshot name; must be unique to each snapshot
• Additional snapshot options (overrides any project options):
  • widths - An array of widths to take screenshots at
  • minHeight - The minimum viewport height to take screenshots at
  • enableJavaScript - Enable JavaScript in Percy's rendering environment
  • percyCSS - Percy specific CSS only applied in Percy's rendering environment
  • scope - A CSS selector to scope the screenshot to

We built a tool to help automate migrating to the new CLI toolchain! Migrating can be done by running the following commands and following the prompts:

$ npx @percy/migrate
? Are you currently using percy-java-selenium? Yes
? Install @percy/cli (required to run percy)? Yes
? Migrate Percy config file? Yes

This will automatically run the changes described below for you.

If you're coming from a pre-3.0 version of this package, make sure to install @percy/cli after upgrading to retain any existing scripts that reference the Percy CLI command. You will also want to uninstall @percy/agent, as it's been replaced by @percy/cli.

$ npm uninstall @percy/agent
$ npm install --save-dev @percy/cli

If you have a previous Percy configuration file, migrate it to the newest version with the config:migrate command:

$ percy config:migrate

percy.screenshot(driver, name, options) [ needs @percy/cli 1.27.0-beta.0+ ];

This is an example test using the percy.screenshot method.

// import ...
import io.percy.selenium.Percy;

public class Example {

  public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, InterruptedException {
    DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
    // Add caps here

    WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(URL), caps);

    Percy percy = new Percy(driver);
    percy.screenshot("Screenshot 1");
    driver.quit();
  }
}

• driver (required) - A selenium driver instance
• name (required) - The screenshot name; must be unique to each screenshot
• options (optional) - There are various options supported by percy.screenshot to server further functionality.
  • sync - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, Gives the processed result around screenshot [From CLI v1.28.0-beta.0+]
  • fullPage - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, Takes full page screenshot [From CLI v1.27.6+]
  • freezeAnimatedImage - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, you can pass true and percy will freeze image based animations.
  • freezeImageBySelectors - List of selectors. Images will be freezed which are passed using selectors. For this to work freezeAnimatedImage must be set to true.
  • freezeImageByXpaths - List of xpaths. Images will be freezed which are passed using xpaths. For this to work freezeAnimatedImage must be set to true.
  • percyCSS - Custom CSS to be added to DOM before the screenshot being taken. Note: This gets removed once the screenshot is taken.
  • ignoreRegionXpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be ignored using xpath
  • ignoreRegionSelectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be ignored using selectors.
  • ignoreRegionSeleniumElements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be ignored using selenium_elements.
  • customIgnoreRegions - List of custom objects. elements can be ignored using custom boundaries
    • Refer to example -

      •   List<HashMap> customRegion = new ArrayList<>();
          HashMap<String, Integer> region1 = new HashMap<>();
          region1.put("top", 10);
          region1.put("bottom", 110);
          region1.put("right", 10);
          region1.put("left", 120);
          customRegion.add(region1);
          options.put("custom_ignore_regions", customRegion);
        

    • Parameters:
      • top (int): Top coordinate of the ignore region.
      • bottom (int): Bottom coordinate of the ignore region.
      • left (int): Left coordinate of the ignore region.
      • right (int): Right coordinate of the ignore region.
  • considerRegionXpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using xpaths.
  • considerRegionSelectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selectors.
  • considerRegionSeleniumElements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selenium_elements.
  • customConsiderRegions - List of custom objects. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using custom boundaries
    • Refer to example -

      •   List<HashMap> customRegion = new ArrayList<>();
          HashMap<String, Integer> region2 = new HashMap<>();
          region2.put("top", 10);
          region2.put("bottom", 110);
          region2.put("right", 10);
          region2.put("left", 120);
          customRegion.add(region2);
          options.put("custom_consider_regions", customRegion);
        

      • Parameters:
        • top (int): Top coordinate of the consider region.
        • bottom (int): Bottom coordinate of the consider region.
        • left (int): Left coordinate of the consider region.
        • right (int): Right coordinate of the consider region.

Note: Automate Percy Token starts with auto keyword. The command can be triggered using exec keyword.

$ export PERCY_TOKEN=[your-project-token]
$ percy exec -- [java test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] [Java example] : Starting automate screenshot ...
[percy] Screenshot taken "Java example"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
