Overview

Visual regression tests capture screenshots of your resources and compare them against saved baselines. This catches unintended visual changes across themes, display modes, and hosts. Screenshot comparisons only run when you pass --visual. Without it, result.screenshot() calls are silently skipped, so you can include them in your regular e2e tests without affecting normal runs.

​
Running Visual Tests

pnpm test:visual                           # Compare against baselines
pnpm test:visual -- --update               # Update baselines

​
Writing Visual Tests

Use result.screenshot() in any e2e test. It accepts an optional name and Playwright toHaveScreenshot options: 
import { test, expect } from 'sunpeak/test';

test('albums renders correctly in light mode', async ({ inspector }) => {
  const result = await inspector.renderTool('show-albums', {}, { theme: 'light' });
  const app = result.app();
  await expect(app.locator('button:has-text("Summer Slice")')).toBeVisible();

  await result.screenshot('albums-light');
});

test('albums renders correctly in dark mode', async ({ inspector }) => {
  const result = await inspector.renderTool('show-albums', {}, { theme: 'dark' });
  const app = result.app();
  await expect(app.locator('button:has-text("Summer Slice")')).toBeVisible();

  await result.screenshot('albums-dark');
});

​
Screenshot Targets

By default, screenshot() captures the app content inside the double-iframe. Use the target option to capture the full inspector page, or pass a specific element locator: 
// Screenshot just the app (default)
await result.screenshot('app-view');

// Screenshot the full inspector page (host chrome + app)
await result.screenshot('full-page', { target: 'page' });

// Screenshot a specific element
await result.screenshot('album-card', {
  element: result.app().locator('button:has-text("Summer Slice")'),
});

​
Configuring Visual Defaults

Pass a visual option to defineConfig() to set project-wide defaults for screenshot comparison: 
import { defineConfig } from 'sunpeak/test/config';
export default defineConfig({
  visual: {
    threshold: 0.2,
    maxDiffPixelRatio: 0.05,
    snapshotPathTemplate: '{testDir}/__screenshots__/{projectName}/{testFilePath}/{arg}{ext}',
  },
});
All Playwright toHaveScreenshot options (threshold, maxDiffPixelRatio, maxDiffPixels, animations, etc.) are supported. The snapshotPathTemplate controls where baseline images are stored.
