Installation

npm install @percy/cli (requires Node 14+):

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

Install the PercyIO.Selenium package (for example, with .NET CLI):

$ dotnet add package PercyIO.Selenium

Usage

This is an example test using the Percy.Snapshot method.

using PercyIO.Selenium;

// ... other test code

FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
FirefoxDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://example.com");
​
// take a snapshot
Percy.Snapshot(driver, ".NET example");

// snapshot options using an anonymous object
Percy.Snapshot(driver, ".NET anonymous options", new {
  widths = new [] { 600, 1200 }
});

// snapshot options using a dictionary-like object
Percy.Options snapshotOptions = new Percy.Options();
snapshotOptions.Add("minHeight", 1280);
Percy.Snapshot(driver, ".NET typed options", snapshotOptions);

Running the above normally will result in the following log:

[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 -- [your test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] Created build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Snapshot taken ".NET example"
[percy] Snapshot taken ".NET anonymous options"
[percy] Snapshot taken ".NET typed options"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!

Configuration

void Percy.Snapshot(WebDriver driver, string name, object? options)

• driver (required) - A selenium-webdriver driver instance
• name (required) - The snapshot name; must be unique to each snapshot
• options - An object containing various snapshot options (see per-snapshot configuration options)

Running Percy on Automate

Percy.Screenshot(driver, name, options) [ needs @percy/cli 1.27.0-beta.0+ ];

This is an example test using the Percy.Screenshot method.

// ... other test code
// import
using PercyIO.Selenium;
class Program
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {

    // Add caps here
    RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(
      new Uri("https://hub-cloud.browserstack.com/wd/hub"),capabilities);
​

    // navigate to webpage
    driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("https://www.percy.io");

    // take screenshot
    Percy.Screenshot("dotnet screenshot-1");

    // quit driver
    driver.quit();
  }
}

• driver (required) - A Selenium driver instance
• name (required) - The screenshot name; must be unique to each screenshot
• options (optional) - There are various options supported by Percy.Screenshot to server further functionality.
  • freezeAnimatedImage - Boolean value by default it falls back to false, you can pass true and percy will freeze image based animations.
  • freezeImageBySelectors - List of selectors. Images will be freezed which are passed using selectors. For this to work freezeAnimatedImage must be set to true.
  • freezeImageByXpaths - List of xpaths. Images will be freezed which are passed using xpaths. For this to work freezeAnimatedImage must be set to true.
  • percyCSS - Custom CSS to be added to DOM before the screenshot being taken. Note: This gets removed once the screenshot is taken.
  • ignoreRegionXpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be ignored using xpath
  • ignoreRegionSelectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be ignored using selectors.
  • ignoreRegionSeleniumElements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be ignored using selenium_elements.
  • customIgnoreRegions - List of custom objects. elements can be ignored using custom boundaries. Just passing a simple object for it like below.
    • Refer to example -

      • List<object> ignoreCustomElement = new List<object>();
        var region1 = new Dictionary<string, int>();
        region1.Add("top", 10);
        region1.Add("bottom", 120);
        region1.Add("right", 10);
        region1.Add("left", 10);
        ignoreCustomElement.Add(region1);
        region1.Add("custom_ignore_regions", ignoreCustomElement);
        

  • considerRegionXpaths - List of xpaths. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using xpaths.
  • considerRegionSelectors - List of selectors. elements in the DOM can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selectors.
  • considerRegionSeleniumElements - List of selenium web-element. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using selenium_elements.
  • customConsiderRegions - List of custom objects. elements can be considered for diffing and will be ignored by Intelli Ignore using custom boundaries
    • Refer to example -

      • List<object> considerCustomElement = new List<object>();
        var region2 = new Dictionary<string, int>();
        region2.Add("top", 10);
        region2.Add("bottom", 120);
        region2.Add("right", 10);
        region2.Add("left", 10);
        considerCustomElement.Add(region2);
        region2.Add("custom_consider_regions", considerCustomElement);
        

      • Parameters:
        • top (int): Top coordinate of the consider region.
        • bottom (int): Bottom coordinate of the consider region.
        • left (int): Left coordinate of the consider region.
        • right (int): Right coordinate of the consider region.

Creating Percy on automate build

Note: Automate Percy Token starts with auto keyword. The command can be triggered using exec keyword.

$ export PERCY_TOKEN=[your-project-token]
$ percy exec -- [dotnet test command]
[percy] Percy has started!
[percy] [Dotnet example] : Starting automate screenshot ...
[percy] Screenshot taken "Dotnet example"
[percy] Stopping percy...
[percy] Finalized build #1: https://percy.io/[your-project]
[percy] Done!
