Testing visuals
- The second argument to
expect_snapshot_file()
gives the file name that the image will be saved in file snapshot directory. - If these tests are in a file called
test-app.R
, the snapshots will be saved:tests/testthat/_snaps/app/plot-init.png
tests/testthat/_snaps/app/plot-update.png
- To visualise the differences in a Shiny App run
testthat::snapshot_review()
# Loading the app
app <- AppDriver$new(shinyApp(ui, server))
# Defining path to save screeenshot
path <- tempfile(fileext = ".png")
# Save screenshot to temporary file
app$get_screenshot(path)
expect_snapshot_file(path, "plot-init.png")
# Changing the input
app$set_inputs(x = 2)
app$get_screenshot(path)
expect_snapshot_file(path, "plot-update.png")
