EspressoCheckSettings class

The methods in this class 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 class on the returned object, chaining them one after the other using the '.' operator.

Import statement

import com.applitools.eyes.android.espresso.fluent.EspressoCheckSettings;

accessibility method

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().accessibility(region, regionType)) eyes.check(Target.window().accessibility(matcher, regionType))

Parameters

region

Type: Region

An object that defines a rectangular area in the window.

regionType

Type: AccessibilityRegionType

The accessibility type of the region.

matcher

Type: Matcher

A selector that specified one or more elements. The bounding rectangle of each element, defines an accessibility region to be analyzed.

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

Remarks

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

content method

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().content(region, regions)) eyes.check(Target.window().content()) eyes.check(Target.window().content(matchers))

Parameters

region

Type: Region

An object that defines a rectangular area in the window.

regions

Type: Region...

One or more region definitions.

matchers

Type: Matcher...

The Matcher types can be any of the following Hamcrest Matchers: ViewMatcher, RootMatcher, LayoutMatcher or PreferenceMatcher

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

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 can call this method in two ways - with parameters and without parameters. The meaning of the method, and the way it can be used is different in each case. When the method is called without parameters it sets the default match level for this target. When called with one or more regions as parameters it defines the match level for that region. The sections below provide some more details regarding how to use this method in each of these modes.

Called without parameters

If this method is called without parameters then it sets the default match level for this target. This overrides the hard-coded default and the default match level defined by using setMatchLevel.

For a given target you may call only one of the following methods (without parameters) that set a target default match level:

  • matchLevel
  • strict
  • content
  • layout
  • exact

Called with parameters

When the method is called with one or more parameters that define one or more regions, then these set the match level for those regions, overiding the defaults set for the target (by calling these methods without a parameter), set by setMatchLevel and the hardcoded default match level.

You may define multiple regions that have an explicit match level by calling this method multiple times in a chain, 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.

dialog method

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().dialog())

Parameters

This method does not take any parameters.

Return value

Type: EspressoCheckSettings

Remarks

Handling popups and dialogs

If your checkpoints includes a popup or dialog then the way you create the checkpoint depends on which layers you want to capture as illustrated in the code below:

eyes.check('viewport only', Target.window()); eyes.check('dialog only',Target.window().dialog()); eyes.check('popup only',Target.window().popup()); eyes.check('viewport and popup or dialog',Target.window().includeAllLayers());

The example illustrate the behavior with a Target.window target, but they apply to a Target.region, Target.googleMap or Target.fragment as well.

exact method

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().exact())

Parameters

This method does not take any parameters.

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

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

Remarks

This method sets the default match level for this target. This overrides the hard-coded default and the default match level defined by using setMatchLevel.

For a given target you may call only one of the following methods that set a target default match level:

  • matchLevel
  • strict
  • content
  • layout
  • exact

To set a match level for a one or more regions within a target use one of the following methods:

  • checksettings.strictregions (not yet available in espresso java)
  • checksettings.contentregions (not yet available in espresso java)
  • checksettings.layoutregions (not yet available in espresso java)

floating method

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().floating(maxOffset, regions)) eyes.check(Target.window().floating(region, maxUpOffset, maxDownOffset, maxLeftOffset, maxRightOffset))

Parameters

maxOffset

Type: int

The maximum amount that the region can shift in any direction and still be considered matching.

regions

Type: Region...

One or more region definitions.

region

Type: Region

An object that defines the region.

maxUpOffset

Type: int

The maximum amount that the region can shift upwards and still be considered matching.

maxDownOffset

Type: int

The maximum amount that the region can shift downwards and still be considered matching.

maxLeftOffset

Type: int

The maximum amount that the region can shift to the left and still be considered matching.

maxRightOffset

The maximum amount that the region can shift to the right and still be considered matching.

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

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 call this method multiple times in a given chain; each call defines a different floating region. Floating regions may not overlap each other or other types of regions, such as ignore or match level regions.

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().fully()) eyes.check(Target.window().fully(fully))

Parameters

fully

Type: boolean

Return value

Type: EspressoCheckSettings

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

Remarks

This method overrides the global default or the most recent value set by the Eyes.setForceFullPageScreenshot method or Configuration.setForceFullPageScreenshot method. You may only call this method once in a given target.

hideCaret method

Syntax

Parameters

hideCaret

Type: boolean

If this parameter has a value of true, then the cursor will be hidden before the image is captured.

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

Parameters

region

Type: Region

An object that defines a rectangular area in the window.

One or more region definitions.

matchers

Type: Matcher...

The Matcher types can be any of the following Hamcrest Matchers: ViewMatcher, RootMatcher, LayoutMatcher or PreferenceMatcher

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

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 call this method multiple times in a given chain.

Ignore regions should not overlap each other or other types of regions such as floating or match level regions.

ignoreCaret method

Syntax

eyes.check(Target.window().ignoreCaret(ignoreCaret)) eyes.check(Target.window().ignoreCaret())

Parameters

ignoreCaret

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.

Return value

Type: ICheckSettings

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 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.
