Percy visual testing for Python Selenium.

npm install @percy/cli:

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

pip install Percy selenium package:

$ pip install percy-selenium

This is an example test using the percy_snapshot function.

from percy import percy_snapshot

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://example.com')
​
# take a snapshot
percy_snapshot(browser, 'Python 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 -- [python test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] Created build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Snapshot taken "Python example"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!

percy_snapshot(driver, name[, **kwargs])

• driver (required) - A selenium-webdriver driver instance
• name (required) - The snapshot name; must be unique to each snapshot
• **kwargs - See per-snapshot configuration options

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

$ percy config:migrate

This is an example test using the percy_screenshot function. percy_screenshot(driver, name, options) [ needs @percy/cli 1.27.0-beta.0+ ];

from percy import percy_screenshot

driver = webdriver.Remote("https://hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub", caps) # using automate session
driver.get('http://example.com')
​
# take a snapshot
percy_screenshot(driver, name = 'Screenshot 1')

• 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+]
  • full_page - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, Takes full page screenshot [From CLI v1.27.6+]
  • freeze_animated_image - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, you can pass true and percy will freeze image based animations.
  • freeze_image_by_selectors -List of selectors. Images will be freezed which are passed using selectors. For this to work freeze_animated_image must be set to true.
  • freeze_image_by_xpaths - List of xpaths. Images will be freezed which are passed using xpaths. For this to work freeze_animated_image must be set to true.
  • percy_css - Custom CSS to be added to DOM before the screenshot being taken. Note: This gets removed once the screenshot is taken.
  • ignore_region_xpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be ignored using xpath
  • ignore_region_selectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be ignored using selectors.
  • ignore_region_selenium_elements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be ignored using selenium_elements.
  • custom_ignore_regions - List of custom objects. elements can be ignored using custom boundaries. Just passing a simple object for it like below.
    • example: {"top": 10, "right": 10, "bottom": 120, "left": 10}
    • In above example it will draw rectangle of ignore region as per given coordinates.
      • 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.
  • consider_region_xpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using xpaths.
  • consider_region_selectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selectors.
  • consider_region_selenium_elements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selenium_elements.
  • custom_consider_regions - List of custom objects. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using custom boundaries
    • example:{"top": 10, "right": 10, "bottom": 120, "left": 10}
    • In above example it will draw rectangle of consider region will be drawn.
    • 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 -- [python test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] [Python example] : Starting automate screenshot ...
[percy] Screenshot taken "Python example"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!
