Issues with Percy TestCafe SDK during the visual testing process.

TestCafe is a modern end-to-end testing framework for web applications. It allows developers to create reliable and stable tests that run seamlessly on various browsers, providing an efficient testing solution for web projects. This page describes how to troubleshoot issues when using Percy TestCafe SDK during the visual testing process.

Missing assets from snapshots

If your snapshots end up missing assets, it is possible your sites asset URLs are being changed by TestCafe. TestCafe will proxy remote assets by prepending your computers local IP to the URL. See this GitHub issue for more details.

To work around this, you can add your computers IP to the list of hostnames Percy will capture assets from. This is done by passing a -h flag to the exec command:

This will now properly capture the asset and render correctly in Percy. If this doesn’t solve your issues, please reach out to support!
