CheckSettingsPlain type

The methods in this type are used as part of the check Fluent API to configure and execute checkpoints.

To use these methods, first create a target object using a method from the Target class, then call one or more of the methods in this type on the returned object, chaining them one after the other using the '.' operator.

accessibilityRegions property

Syntax

eyes.check({ accessibilityRegions: value });

Type:

(
| {
region: RegionPlain | ElementHandle | Selector;
type?: AccessibilityRegionTypePlain;
}
| RegionPlain
| ElementHandle
| Selector
)[];

Type definitions

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

Selector

Used to identify an HTML element defined as string|{selector:string;Type: string}.

AccessibilityRegionTypePlain

This type allows passing strings instead of enumerated values, for the list of enum values see AccessibilityRegionType.

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

Selector

Used to identify an HTML element defined as string|{selector:string;Type: string}.

contentRegions property

Syntax

eyes.check({ contentRegions: value });

Type:

(RegionPlain|ElementHandle|Selector)[]

Type definitions

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

Selector

Used to identify an HTML element defined as string|{selector:string;Type: string}.

The value returned is the object that called the method. You can use it to call other methods supported by the object class.

Remarks

You may define multiple regions that have an explicit match level by calling this method multiple times, or by passing the method multiple regions.

The region matchlevel methods strict(regions), layout(regions), content(regions), strictRegions(regions), layoutRegions(regions), and contentRegions(regions) should not overlap each other or the regions defined using checksettings.ignore (regions) or ignoreRegions(regions). If they overlap with each other, or regions that were defined using the Test Manager, then the results are undefined.

Type:

(
| {
region: RegionPlain | ElementHandle | Selector;
maxUpOffset?: number;
maxDownOffset?: number;
maxLeftOffset?: number;
maxRightOffset?: number;
}
| RegionPlain

frames property

Syntax

eyes.check({ frames: value });

Type:

(
| {
frame: ElementHandle | Selector | string | number;
scrollRootElement?: ElementHandle | Selector;
}
| ElementHandle
| Selector
| string
| number
)[];

An array of frame elements or frame selectors, as defined by the type, that represent the top to bottom hierarchy of frames to the frame that encloses the region or element to be checked.

fully property

Syntax

eyes.check({ fully: value });

Type: boolean

If this parameter has a value of true, then Eyes uses scrolling and stitching to capture the entire page. If it's false, then only the viewport will be captured. If the method is called without a parameter, then the default is true.

Remarks

This method overrides the global default or the most recent value set by the Eyes.setForceFullPageScreenshot method or Configuration.setForceFullPageScreenshot method. If stitching is done, then the stitch mode used, StitchMode.CSS or StitchMode.SCROLL is determined by the global default or the value set using, Eyes.setStitchMode or Configuration.setStitchMode You can use the CheckSettings.scrollRootElement method to specify which element should be scrolled to render all of the content of the page. You may only specify one such element per checkpoint. You may only call this method once in a given target.

ignoreCaret property

Syntax

eyes.check({ ignoreCaret: value });

Type: boolean

If this parameter has a value of true, then Eyes will detect artifacts caused by a blinking cursor and will not report a mismatch for differences caused by these artifacts. If it has a value of , then Eyes will not try to detect artifacts caused by blinking cursors. If no parameter is passed then the default value is true - so the cursor artifacts will be ignored.

Remarks

You may only call this method once in a given chain. This method overrides the global default setting or the setting chosen explicitly for the current target using Eyes.setIgnoreCaret method or Configuration.setIgnoreCaret method.

ignoreDisplacements property

Syntax

eyes.check({ ignoreDisplacements: value });

Type: boolean

If a value of true is passed, then mismatches due to displaced content will not be displayed in the Test Manager. Otherwise, they will be displayed.

Remarks

Ignore displacements is only active when using a Match level of Strict or IgnoreColors

ignoreRegions property

Syntax

eyes.check({ ignoreRegions: value });

Type:

(RegionPlain|ElementHandle|Selector)[]

Type definitions

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

A region defined by one of the possible types.

Remarks

You may call this method multiple times in a given chain. Ignore regions should not overlap each other or other types of regions (i.e. floating or match level regions).

layoutBreakpoints property

Syntax

eyes.check({ layoutBreakpoints: value });

Type:

boolean|number[]

You can either pass a boolean value or a number. Pass a value of true to enable this feature. Pass one or more viewport widths explicitly, and the JavaScript is executed and the DOM is extracted for each viewport width. For each target, the Ultrafast Grid uses the DOM extracted with the widest viewport that is smaller than the viewport width. For example, if the values 640, 768 and 1024 are passed, then targets with a width between 640 and 767 (inclusive) use the DOM extracted at 640. Similarly, targets between 768 and 1023 use the DOM extracted at 768. Targets that have a width smaller than the smallest defined width use a DOM extracted at one less than the smallest DOM width (639 in this example). Targets that have a width larger than the largest width defined (1024 in this example) use the DOM extracted at the largest width. If no width is specified, then a separate DOM is extracted for each distinct execution environment viewport width.

Remarks

This method enables and sets breakpoints for the current checkpoint. It overrides the default values when the test is configured with a previous use of undefined.

layoutRegions property

Syntax

eyes.check({ layoutRegions: value });

Type:

(RegionPlain|ElementHandle|Selector)[]

Type definitions

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

One or more region descriptors or selectors in one of the defined types.

Remarks

You may define multiple regions that have an explicit match level by calling this method multiple times, or by passing the method multiple regions.

The region matchlevel methods strict(regions), layout(regions), content(regions), strictRegions(regions), layoutRegions(regions), and contentRegions(regions) should not overlap each other or the regions defined using checksettings.ignore (regions) or ignoreRegions(regions). If they overlap with each other, or regions that were defined using the Test Manager, then the results are undefined.

matchLevel property

Syntax

eyes.check({ matchLevel: value });

Type: MatchLevelPlain

Type definitions

MatchLevelPlain

This type allows passing strings instead of enumerated values, for the list of enum values see MatchLevel.

Available match level values are:

For a description of these match levels and the different ways to apply them to tests, checkpoints, and regions, see Eyes match levels.

Remarks

The value provided here overrides the default match level, or the global value set for this target using Eyes.setMatchLevel or Configuration.setMatchLevel. You may only call this method once in a given chain. If you call this method, then you can't call the other match level methods.

name property

Syntax

eyes.check({ name: value });

Type: string

The name to be given to this check point.

Remarks

You may only call this method once in a given chain.

region property

Syntax

eyes.check({ region: value });

RegionPlain|ElementHandle|Selector

Type definitions

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

An object that defines a rectangular area in the window.

An object that defines the region.

Remarks

The parameter to the method specifies the region to be matched. The enclosing frame(s) are selected by the previous calls in the chain to Target.frame. You may only use this method in the chain if the first method in the chain is Target.frame. You may not call it if the first method in the chain is Target.window or Target.region. To match a region within a window, use the method Target.region as the first method in the Target chain. You may only call this method once in a given chain.

scrollRootElement property

Syntax

eyes.check({ scrollRootElement: value });

Type:

ElementHandle|Selector

This object defines the element to be scrolled.

strictRegions property

Syntax

eyes.check({ strictRegions: value });

Type:

(RegionPlain|ElementHandle|Selector)[]

Type definitions

RegionPlain

Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain&RectangleSizePlain

Selector

Used to identify an HTML element defined as string|{selector:string;Type: string}.

The value returned is the object that called the method. You can use it to call other methods supported by the object class.

Remarks

You may define multiple regions that have an explicit match level by calling this method multiple times, or by passing the method multiple regions.

The region matchlevel methods strict(regions), layout(regions), content(regions), strictRegions(regions), layoutRegions(regions), and contentRegions(regions) should not overlap each other or the regions defined using checksettings.ignore (regions) or ignoreRegions(regions). If they overlap with each other, or regions that were defined using the Test Manager, then the results are undefined.

timeout property

Syntax

eyes.check({ timeout: value });

Type: number

The timeout to use in milliseconds.

Remarks

You may only call this method once in a given chain. The timeout value provided here overrides the default value or the value set by setMatchTimeout for the current target. Passing this method a value of zero disables the timeout mechanism.

variationGroupId property

Syntax

eyes.check({ variationGroupId: value });

Type: string

The value of the variation group ID to be set.

visualGridOptions property

Syntax

eyes.check({ visualGridOptions: value });

Type:

{ [key: string]: any };

Remarks

The following configuration key/value pairs are currently supported:

'chromeHeadless'

Normally, the Ultrafast Grid renders its images using Headless Chrome. There are cases where the behavior of Headless Chrome is different from that of regular Chrome browser, and if the baseline was created with a regular Chrome browser, the differences will be found. Set this option to a value of false to instruct the Ultrafast Grid to use a regular Chrome browser instead of the Headless Chrome browser, so as to eliminate differences that arise because of the different types of Chrome browser.

'polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets'

Adopted Stylesheets are a way to create and distribute reusable styles when using a Shadow DOM. Adopted Stylesheets are not supported by all browsers, so their use may cause mismatches when doing cross-browser validation. By default, when the Ultrafast Grid detects that a page being checked uses Adopted Stylesheets, it will not render that checkpoint, the check will fail, and the test will be aborted. In the Test Manager, the test results for that run will have an Aborted status, and the step that failed will have a Missing status.

To enable rendering of checkpoints that include Adopted Stylesheets, and to ensure that the test can complete successfully, you need to explicitly set the Ultrafast Grid option polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets to a value of true or false:

  • Setting a value of true instructs the Ultrafast Grid to polyfill Adopted Stylesheets.
  • Setting a value of false instructs the Ultrafast Grid to render the page without polyfilling Adopted Stylesheets.

You can set this option globally using the method Configuration.setVisualGridOption

You can override the global value for a given checkpoint using the method CheckSettings.visualGridOption.

Example

JavaScript

eyes.check(
Target.window()
.visualGridOptions(new VisualGridOption("polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets", true)));
