Appium Images Plugin
This is an official Appium plugin designed to facilitate image comparison, visual testing, and image-based functional testing.
Features
- Image Comparison (docs) - A new Appium command and route that allows sending in two different images and comparing them in various ways.
- Finding Elements by Image (docs) - Using a template image, find a matching screen region of an app and interact with it via standard Appium element semantics.
Prerequisites
- Appium Server 2.0+
Installation - Server
Install the plugin using Appium's plugin CLI:
appium plugin install images
Installation - Client
No special action is needed to make the features available in the various Appium clients, as this plugin used to be a core Appium feature and its commands are already supported in the official clients.
Activation
The plugin will not be active unless turned on when invoking the Appium server:
appium --use-plugins=images
