A gradle plugin for Screenshotbot

This is an Open source plugin that integrates popular Android screenshot testing libraries with Screenshotbot.

Currently we support:

• Paparazzi
• Compose Preview Screenshot Tests (from Google)
• Facebook's screenshot-tests-for-android
• Shot
• Roborazzi
• Dropshots [see footnote]

Getting started

Including the plugin is pretty straightforward. In your build.gradle, add the following lines

plugins {
  id 'io.screenshotbot.plugin' version '1.22'
}

If you use Paparazzi this will automatically create three new tasks for each of your Parazzi flavors, like so:

recordAndVerifyPaparazziDebugScreenshotbotCI
recordPaparazziDebugScreenshotbot
verifyPaparazziDebugScreenshotbot

The last two tasks are meant to be used by developers while working locally, and does not affect your CI state. You will have to run ./gradlew :installScreenshotbot and follow the instructions to install a key locally. Once installed, we'll use the keys in future runs.

The first task will be run in your CI, in place of simply :verifyPaparazziDebug. Screenshotbot does not require any screenshots to be stored in your repository, we'll run the record step and upload the screenshots to Screenshotbot, and also process information from you CI environment to figure out things like which Pull Request to send notifications on. On CI, you will have to set the SCREENSHOTBOT_API_KEY and SCREENSHOTBOT_API_SECRET environment variables.

Configure Enterprise or OSS Installations

By default, the plugin assumes you are using the installation at https://screenshotbot.io.

If you are Enterprise customer, we give you a custom installation that looks like https://<customer>.screenshotbot.io. Similarly, you might have your own domain for OSS users.

In this case, you might want to set the default domain across all subprojects in your root build.gradle

subprojects {
    plugins.withId('io.screenshotbot.plugin') {
        screenshotbot {
            hostname "https://customer.screenshotbot.io"
        }
    }
}

Footnotes

For Dropshots, we currently require you to pass -Pdropshots.record to each of the Screenshotbot tasks. Once you fully migrate to Screenshotbot, you can just add dropshots.record=true in your gradle.properties. We plan to remove this requirement in the future, but we think it requires some patches pushed to Dropshots.
