miniprogram-visual-test

A visual regression testing tool for WeChat Mini Programs, inspired by cypress-plugin-visual-regression-diff. It helps you automate UI screenshot comparisons to catch visual changes and regressions in your miniprogram projects. Supports both Jest and Vitest.

---

Features

• Automated screenshot capture for miniprogram custom components
• Pixel-by-pixel image diffing with threshold configuration
• Integrates with Vitest and Jest
• Forwards wx.request to anywhere you want
• Easy to extend and customize

Installation

Install with npm:

npm install @devecorsoft/miniprogram-visual-test miniprogram-automator --save-dev

Or with yarn:

yarn add -D @devecorsoft/miniprogram-visual-test miniprogram-automator

Note that please make sure you have wechat miniprogram devtool installed.

Usage

Get started with Jest

1. Enable matcher in jest.config.js:

// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...existing config
  setupFilesAfterEnv: [
    // ...other setup files
    '@devecorsoft/miniprogram-visual-test/jest-matcher',
  ],
};

2. load test component and match screenshots

import { launchDevTool, loadTestComponent } from "../src/devTool/launcher.ts";
import type MiniProgram from "miniprogram-automator/out/MiniProgram";
import * as path from "path";

describe('screenshot', () => {
  let miniProgram: MiniProgram

  afterEach(() => miniProgram.close())

  it('should able to take screenshot for first running', async () => {
    const testProjectPath = path.resolve('.')
    loadTestComponent(
      path.resolve('test/test-component-js/test-component'),
      testProjectPath,
      {
        template: '<test-component title="visual" count="12"/>',
        includes: ['miniprogram_npm', 'styles', 'commonDeps']
      }
    )
    const devTool = await launchDevTool(appId, {forwardRequestTo: 'http://localhost:8080/path'})
    miniProgram = devTool.miniProgram
    
    const view = await devTool.page.$("view")
    await expect(view!.text()).resolves.toBe('js component')
    
    await expect(miniProgram).toMatchScreenshot({maxDiffThreshold: 0})
  })
})

Note that: see tests for all the usages.

Maintaining Stable Visual Testing

1. Use a fixed color profile by following these steps in DevTools: Settings → Open Chrome flags settings → Force color profile → sRGB.
2. Use monitors with similar physical resolutions. Although you can manually set the device's DPR (device pixel ratio) to 1 in the emulator, high-resolution monitors may still cause screenshots to double in size, making image comparisons less accurate.
