@percy/nightmare

Version Test

Percy visual testing for Nightmare.

Installation

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

Usage

This is an example using the percySnapshot function.

const Nightmare = require('nightmare');
const percySnapshot = require('@percy/nightmare);

Nightmare()
  .goto('http://example.com')
  //... other actions ...
  .use(percySnapshot('Example Snapshot'))
  //... more actions ...
  .end()
  .then(() => {
    // ...
  })

Running the code above directly will result in the following logs:

$ node script.js
[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 -- node script.js
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] Created build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Running "node script.js"
[percy] Snapshot taken "Example Snapshot"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!

Upgrading

Automatically with @percy/migrate

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/nightmare? Yes
? Install @percy/cli (required to run percy)? Yes
? Migrate Percy config file? Yes
? Upgrade SDK to @percy/nightmare@2.0.0? Yes

This will automatically run the changes described below for you.

Manually

Installing @percy/cli

If you're coming from a pre-2.0 version of this package, make sure to install @percy/cli after upgrading to retain any existing scripts that reference the Percy CLI command.

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

Import change

If you're coming from a pre-2.0 version of this package, the percySnapshot function is now the default export.

// before
const { percySnapshot } = require('@percy/nightmare');

// after
const percySnapshot = require('@percy/nightmare');

Migrating Config

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

$ percy config:migrate
