This step allows you to compare screenshots of a page before and after a change.

Inputs

string

Description of the element that you want to screenshot. Refer to the Locating elements guide for more information.

Configs

threshold
number
default: 10

Percentage of total pixels that can be different before the step fails.

disable stability checks
boolean
default: false

Do not wait for the element to be visible, stable and actionable before interacting. Useful for elements that are constantly animating or partially obscured.

use css selector
boolean
default: false

Treat the element description as a CSS selector. This is not recommended for maintainability reasons but can be useful for dynamic pages.

visible area only
boolean
default: false

Search for the element in the current visible area only. Improves performance and accuracy for long pages. Does not affect vision descriptions, which always use the visible area only.
