README

This bundle is made to ease testing and comparing frontend changes in your applications.

With it, you can first take screenshots of your webpages and then compare them.

A common scenario is to check differences between one particular version of your application and another one (for example, master and develop).

Voyeur

In order to start taking screenshots, you will just need to configure services and parameters:

parameters:
    namshi_voyeur:
      browsers:
        - firefox
        - safari
        - chrome
      urls:
        homepage:     "/"
        new-arrivals: "mail"
      shots_dir: "/Users/xx/Downloads/screenshots"
      base_url:       "http://google.com/"

You will have to tell the bundle with which browsers you want to take screenshots, at which URLs, a base URL and a directory where the screenshots will be saved.

Then, configure the services:

services:
    safari:
        class:  Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver
        calls:
          - [start]
        arguments:
          browser: safari
    firefox:
        class:  Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver
        calls:
          - [start]
    chrome:
        class:  Behat\Mink\Driver\Selenium2Driver
        calls:
          - [start]
        arguments:
          browser: chrome

which are basically instances of the Selenium2 driver, which will be used by Voyeur.

Last step is to launch Voyeur from the command line:

php app/console namshi:voyeur

Voyeur:diff

To generate the diffs between different screenshots captured by Voyeur, just trigger the command:

php app/console namshi:voyeur:diff path/to/first/screenshots path/to/other/screenshots

You can also specify the path to save the diffs at:

--diff-dir=path/to/diffs

otherwise they will be saved at path/to/other/screenshots.

Testing different websites

You can optionally specify different configurations:

parameters:
    namshi_voyeur:
      browsers:
        - firefox
      urls:
        homepage:     "/"
        new-arrivals: "mail"
      shots_dir: "/Users/xx/Downloads/screenshots"
      base_url:       "http://google.com/"
    voyeur_ae:
      base_url:       "http://google.ae/"
    voyeur_de:
      base_url:       "http://google.de/"
    voyeur_it:
      base_url:       "http://google.it/"

and then run Voyeur with the specified configuration:

php app/console namshi:voyeur --config=voyeur_de

The example above will run Voyeur on google.de, instead of .com.
