Configuration class

This class is used to create a configuration object that is used to configure an Eyes object by passing it to the Eyes.SetConfiguration method.

You can use this configuration object instead of using the various Eyes methods and properties that set the same attributes. Typically you set up a Configuration object by calling its setXXXX methods chained with a '.' in a Fluent coding style. In this class, some attributes can be set by both a property and a set command. The properties allow you simple direct access to assign to and retrieve the attribute. The corresponding set method allows you to set multiple attributes using a Fluent style.

Using statement

using Configuration = Applitools.Configuration;

Configuration method

Syntax

Configuration config = new Configuration();

Parameters

This method does not take any parameters.

Return value

Type: Configuration

The value returned is the object that called the method. This allows you to use a fluent style to call the setXXXX methods of the Configuration class.

AccessibilityValidation property

Syntax

AccessibilitySettings configval; // give relevant initial value
config.AccessibilityValidation = configval;
configval = config.AccessibilityValidation

Type: AccessibilitySettings

Remarks

For more information about the Contrast advisor feature see Contrast advisor.

AgentId property

Syntax

string configval; // give relevant initial value
config.AgentId = configval;

Type: string

ApiKey property

Syntax

string configval; // give relevant initial value

configval = config.ApiKey

Type: string

Remarks

Set this immediately after the Eyes object is created (before calling Open). If you have an environment variable called APPLITOOLS_API_KEY that is set to the value of your API key, then you do not need to call this method, and Eyes will take the string from the environment value.

AppName property

Syntax

string configval; // give relevant initial value
config.AppName = configval;
configval = config.AppName

Type: string

Remarks

If you call this method, it must be called before the call to Eyes.Open. In the call to Eyes.Open, if you provide the application parameter, then it will override the value set here. If you don't provide the parameter or pass a null, then the value set here will be used.

configval = config.VisualGridOptions

Type: VisualGridOption[]

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.SetVisualGridOptions

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

WaitBeforeScreenshots property

/* ... other configurations */ ;
/*
* Assign the configuration to all newly created Eyes instances
*/
eyes = new Eyes(runner);
eyes.SetConfiguration(suiteConfig);

width

Type: int

The width of the browser viewport for this target. The maximum viewport width for all browsers is 5120. If this limit is exceeded, then execution of the checkpoint will fail.

eyes.SetConfiguration(suiteConfig);

baselineEnvName

Type: string [Optional : default = null ]

The name of the baseline environment. If provided, then the viewport, host app (browser), and OS that define the baseline are defined by the baseline environment name and not by the execution environment.

Parameters

breakpoints

Type: int[]

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.

The value returned is the object that called the method. This allows you to use a fluent style to call the setXXXX methods of the Configuration class.

SetVisualGridOptions method

Syntax

IConfiguration configval = config.SetVisualGridOptions(options);
config.VisualGridOptions = configval;
= config.VisualGridOptions;

Note that this feature is available as both a method and a property.

Parameters

options

Type: VisualGridOption[]

One or more configuration options for the Ultrafast Grid.

Return value

Type: IConfiguration

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.SetVisualGridOptions

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

Example

C#

/* test suite setup */  
suiteConfig = (Configuration) new Configuration()
.SetVisualGridOptions(new VisualGridOption("polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets", true))
/* ... other configurations */ ;
/*
* Assign the configuration to all newly created Eyes instances
*/
eyes = new Eyes(runner);
eyes.SetConfiguration(suiteConfig);

SetWaitBeforeScreenshots method

Syntax

IConfiguration configval = config.SetWaitBeforeScreenshots(value);
config.WaitBeforeScreenshots = configval;
= config.WaitBeforeScreenshots;

Note that this feature is available as both a method and a property.

Parameters

value

Type: int

The time to wait in milliseconds. Passing a value of less than or equal to zero will cause the default value to be used.

Return value

Type: IConfiguration

The value returned is the object that called the method. This allows you to use a fluent style to call the setXXXX methods of the Configuration class.
