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.

Configuration method

Syntax

let 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.

agentId property

Syntax

config.agentId = configval;
configval = config.agentId;

Type: string

The agent id to be configured.

apiKey property

Syntax

config.apiKey = configval;
configval = config.apiKey;

Type: string

Your API key.

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

config.appName = configval;
configval = config.appName;

Type: string

The application name to be configured for the test.

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.

visualGridOptions property

Syntax

configval = config.visualGridOptions;

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.

waitBeforeScreenshots property

Syntax

config.waitBeforeScreenshots = configval;
configval = config.waitBeforeScreenshots;

Type: number

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

The height of the browser viewport for this target. There is no height limit.

Use this in conjunction with the parameter.

name

Type: BrowserType [Optional ]

The type of browser for this target.

JavaScript

    suiteConfig = new Configuration()

*/
eyes = new Eyes(runner);
eyes.setConfiguration(suiteConfig);

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.

Remarks

By default, the entire page is rendered. The viewport width and height parameters impact the baseline that is chosen, unless the baseline environment configuration has been provided. The viewport passed to the Eyes.open method does not impact the baseline used, but could impact the page layout if the page has any viewport size-sensitive factors such as HTML, CSS or Javascript.

setVisualGridOption method

Syntax

let configval = config.setVisualGridOption();

Parameters

This method does not take any parameters.

Return value

Type: Configuration

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

    suiteConfig = 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);
