@percy/cypress

Percy visual testing for Cypress.

Installation

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

Then add to your cypress/support/index.js file

import '@percy/cypress'

Usage

This is an example using the cy.percySnapshot command.

describe('My app', () => {
  it('should look good', () => {
    cy.get('body').should('have.class', 'finished-loading');
    cy.percySnapshot();

    cy.get('button').click();
    cy.percySnapshot('Clicked button');
  });
});

Running the test above will result in the following log:

$ cypress run
...
[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 -- cypress run
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] Created build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Running "cypress run"
...
[percy] Snapshot taken "My app should look good"
[percy] Snapshot taken "Clicked button"
...
[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/cypress? Yes
? Install @percy/cli (required to run percy)? Yes
? Migrate Percy config file? Yes
? Upgrade SDK to @percy/cypress@3.0.0? Yes

This will automatically run the changes described below for you.

Manually

Installing `@percy/cli`

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.

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

Removing tasks

If you're coming from 2.x the health check task, @percy/cypress/task, is no longer needed and no longer exists. You should remove this task from your cypress/plugins/index.js file.

Migrating Config

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

$ percy config:migrate
