Right now, this is very much possible to improve in so many ways. Your turn!

Tests

This project includes visual regression tests to ensure the UI remains consistent across changes.

Golden Images

Golden images act as the baseline reference for visual comparisons.

Generate Golden Images

Golden images can now be generated either locally or via GitHub Actions CI.

Local (CLI) Method:

CI Method (GitHub Actions):

The Update Golden Images workflow automatically runs on pushes to main branches or can be triggered manually to update the golden images in CI.

  • The workflow uses matrix combinations of browsers (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) and devices (desktop, mobile).

  • Generated golden images are cached for faster subsequent test runs.

  • A backup of golden images is uploaded as an artifact with 90-day retention.

Trigger the workflow manually in GitHub under Actions → Update Golden Images → Run workflow, or via GitHub CLI:

CLI Options

  • --browsers → Browsers to test (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit)

  • --devices → Viewports (desktop, mobile)

  • --pages → Pages to capture (e.g., home,about)

  • --wait → Delay (in ms) before taking the screenshot

  • --clean → Remove old screenshots before generating

  • --verbose → Enable detailed logging

Running Tests

All tests are executed with pytest. The suite includes explicit visual regression tests for each browser (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit) and viewport mode (desktop, mobile), parametrized across the golden pages.

Prerequisites

  • Ensure your local server is running at http://localhost:8000.

  • Activate your environment: run inside your pipenv shell.

Basic Commands

Run all tests (60 total: 10 pages × 3 browsers × 2 viewports):

pytest tests/regression_test.py -v

Selective Execution with Markers

Use markers to run subsets (e.g., only desktop Chromium). Available markers: desktop, mobile, chromium, firefox, webkit.

  • All desktop tests:

    pytest tests/regression_test.py -m "desktop" -v

  • All mobile tests:

    pytest tests/regression_test.py -m "mobile" -v

  • Specific combo (e.g., mobile Chromium):

    pytest tests/regression_test.py -m "mobile and chromium" -v

  • Single test function (e.g., desktop Firefox):

    pytest tests/regression_test.py::test_visual_desktop_firefox -v

  • Specific page in a test (e.g., home page on mobile WebKit):

    pytest tests/regression_test.py::test_visual_mobile_webkit[/] -v

Test Output

The following directories are created when running tests:

  • CURRENT_DIR → Latest screenshots from the test run

  • DIFF_DIR → Visual diffs highlighting failed comparisons

  • GOLDEN_DIR → Baseline golden reference images
