Python client library for visual regression testing with [Percy](https://percy.io).

## Installation

Requires Python >= 2.7.

```
pip install percy
```

Also:

1. Set the `PERCY_TOKEN` environment variables in your CI settings.
1. Set the `PERCY_PROJECT=org/repo-name` environment variables in your CI settings.

## Usage

The following assumes that `webdriver` is a Selenium webdriver object of some sort
(like `webdriver.Chrome()`). Proper setup and teardown of Selenium tests is not included here.

First, initialize the build. This must be done at the beginning of the entire test suite.

```python
import percy

# Build a ResourceLoader that knows how to collect assets for this application.
root_static_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'static')
loader = percy.ResourceLoader(
root_dir=root_static_dir,
# Prepend `/assets` to all of the files in the static directory, to match production assets.
base_url='/assets',
webdriver=webdriver,
)
percy_runner = percy.Runner(loader=loader)

percy_runner.initialize_build()
```

Now, use `percy_runner.snapshot()` in any test to capture the DOM state and send it to Percy for
rendering and visual regression testing.

```python
# In a Selenium test, you might visit a page like this (this also assumes we're subclassing
# Django's LiveServerTestCase):
webdriver.get(self.live_server_url)

percy_runner.snapshot()
```

`snapshot` also accepts a `name` to uniquely identify it across builds:

```python
percy_runner.snapshot(name='homepage')
```

Then, at the end of the test suite, finalize the build.

```python
percy_runner.finalize_build()
```

### Responsive testing

Setup default responsive breakpoints for all snapshots:

```
percy_config = percy.Config(default_widths=[1280, 375])
percy_runner = percy.Runner(loader=loader, config=percy_config)
```

These are the default responsive widths to be used on every snapshot. They can be overridden on a
per-snapshot basis by passing the `widths` arg to `snapshot()`.
