The "kobold" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named kobold to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
    kobold: {
        your_target: {
            // Target-specific Kobold options go here.
        },
    },
})

Options

options.config

Type: Object --optional--

Options that would be otherwise in the global config file. You can also require the js or json file instead of adding here all the configurations.

options.mochaArgs

Type: String[] --optional--

List of Mocha arguments that will be passed-through.

options.approvedFolder

Type: String --optional-- (default: 'approved')

Name of the approved folder where Images are defined as approved and how the build images should look like. This can also be the path to a folder.

options.buildFolder

Type: String --optional-- (default: 'build')

Name of the build folder that holds the most recent build images, taken to be compared to the approved images. This can also be the path to a folder.

options.highlightFolder

Type: String --optional-- (default: 'highlight')

Name of the highlight folder that will be used as the result folder, showing all the differences found during visual regression tests. This can also be the path to a folder.

options.configFolder

Type: String --optional-- (default: 'config')

Name of the config folder that describes image specific configurations the overwrite global configuration options that were given with the config property above. This can also be the path to a folder.

options.failOrphans

Type: Boolean --optional-- (default: false)

Defines if a test should fail when a previously approved images is missing from the current build images. This might happen if not all the screenshots could be taken due to an error, or it might simply be removed from the test-cases.

options.failAdditions

Type: Boolean --optional-- (default: false)

Defines if a test should fail when a previously unseen image appears in the build images. You might want to fail these tests to manually approve them; if they are not approved, then they will never be really compared.

options.testPath

Type: String --optional-- (default: current working directory)

Path to directory holding all the test-folders (i.e. approved, build, highlight, and config).

Usage Examples

Default Options

You can supply the configuration in the options object of a task:

grunt.initConfig({
    kobold: {
        ci: {
            options: {
                config: require('./config.js')
            }
        }
    }
})

Inline Options

You can supply the configuration inline in the options object of a task:

grunt.initConfig({
    kobold: {
        ci: {
            options: {
                config: {
                    "outputBackgroundGreen": 255
                }
            }
        }
    }
})

Here another example, but with more options:

grunt.initConfig({
 
    kobold: {
  
        ci: {
            options: {
                config: {
                    "outputBackgroundGreen": 255
                },
                
                highlightFolder: "result",
                
                failOrphans: true,
                failAdditions: true
            }
        }
    }
})
