Feature request

I'm writing interaction test in storybook and automate it with chromaui
My project have many tests and sure it take time to run
It's hard to explain but with vercel , the deployment run on vercel itself and dose not take time for github CI and still report the result
Can chromatic do the same thing?
I means chromatic tests took time and gonna exceed CI time on my github plan soon
If there aren't a solution may be I will have to move all the test to jest and just use chromatic for visual snapshot test

Proposed solution

I don't know if it's even possible or not

Sounds like you're running into the free plan limits for GitHub Actions. There's two things you can do to speed it up:

  • Run Chromatic with exitOnceUploaded: true -- this will exit the CI script early, saving you some minutes
  • Build your Storybook elsewhere, and use the storybookBuildDir option to provide the already-built Storybook to Chromatic

Where you build your Storybook is up to you. Chromatic does not provide a way to do that because we do not have access to your source code.

Closing this because there's a workaround available and we have no plans to become a CI provider.
