Viff

version Alpha

Find virtual differences between web pages in different environments(developing, staging, production) and browsers.

Installation

Viff is running on selenium sever. Don't worry, you can easily set up selenium server by using selenium-server-standalone.jar.

npm install -g coffee-script && npm install -g viff

No need to install coffee-script if you have.

If you meet issue about node-canvas. Have a check node-canvas wiki

Example

Start server

java -jar ./selenium-server-standalone.jar -port 4444

Run your task using inline command-line way. Viff web pages in different environments (build, prod) and browsers (firefox, chrome).

viff --selenium-host http://localhost:4444/wd/hub -browsers "firefox,chrome" -envs build=http://localhost:4000,prod=http://ishouldbeageek.me -paths "/404.html,/page2" --report-format html > report.html

If the paths that you want to test are so many. You could choose xx.config.js file.

// links.js
'use strict'

module.exports = [
  '/404.html',
  '/',
  '/page2',
  '/page3',
  '/page4',
  '/page5',
  '/strict-mode'
];

// build_prod.config.js
'use strict'

module.exports = {
  seleniumHost: 'http://localhost:4444/wd/hub',
  browsers: ['firefox', 'chrome', 'safari', 'opera'],
  envHosts: {
    build: 'http://localhost:4000',
    prod: 'http://www.ishouldbeageek.me'
  },
  paths: require('./links.js'),
  reportFormat: 'html'
};

Then, you could run

viff ./build_prod.config.js --selenium-host http://localhost:4000/wd/hub

Actually, these arguments like --selenium-host are optional. But if set, the inline configurations will override configurations in .config.js file. So http://localhost:4000/wd/hub will be in use.
