Diffy CircleCI Orb

Diffy is a visual regression testing platform for websites.

Repository contains code for Diffy's CircleCI Orb.

CircleCI registry https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/orb/diffy/diffy.

Orb provides a job to compare Pantheon's DEV environment with Multi Dev. This job is a replacement of BackstopJS visual regression job in Pantheon Build Tools workflow.

Once you have set up a project by using Drops 8 workflow you can use Diffy to run visual regression testing.

Accept "Allow Uncertified Orbs" under your Organization Security settings in CircleCI. This can be done in https://circleci.com/gh/organizations/YOUR_USERNAME_OR_ORGNAME/settings#security

Configure CircleCI environment variables. Check documentation page.

Once variables are configured you need to edit your .circleci/config.yml file.

Add an orb (place it at the top of the file)

orbs:
   diffy: diffy/diffy@0

Then declare Diffy's job in jobs section

diffy_visual_regression_test: diffy/compare_multidev_dev

And last -- add a new job in workflows (you can remove standard visual_regression_test step from workflow too).

- diffy_visual_regression_test:
  requires:
    - configure_env_vars
    - deploy_to_pantheon
  filters:
    branches:
      ignore:
        - master

Here is how your result config.yml will look like
