pytest-selenium-pdiff

A pytest package implementing perceptualdiff for Selenium tests.

• Free software: MIT license
• Documentation: https://pytest-selenium-pdiff.readthedocs.org.

Features

• Embeds screenshots in pytest-html reports
• Supports ImageMagick or perceptualdiff for image comparison.

Use with pytest-html and pytest-selenium

By default pytest-selenium will embed a screenshot depicting the current browser state. This will lead to a duplicated screenshot because of this plugin's behavior. At this time the best way to exclude the pytest-selenium screenshot is to set the environment variable SELENIUM_EXCLUDE_DEBUG=screenshot.
