ci(web): implement visual regression testing against Pencil design baselines - #367
Merged
Conversation
…selines
Add web/scripts/compare-screenshots.mjs using pixelmatch and sharp to compare Playwright captures (web/e2e/screenshots/) against Pencil design exports (design-export/screenshots/).
Handle design-to-code visual discrepancies:
- Filter out subpixel font anti-aliasing via pixelmatch ({ threshold: 0.15, includeAA: false }).
- Standardize canvas dimensions using sharp top-left padding (no distorting stretch).
- Generate 3-panel composite previews [Reference | Browser | Diff] for failed/differing screens.
- Emit structured summary table to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY and summary.json.
Add npm scripts diff:screenshots and test:visual to web/package.json.
Add .github/workflows/visual-diff.yaml for CI automation on pull requests and pushes to master.
Update specs/014-heroui-web-rebuild/contracts/screen-verification.md.

The new comparison script checks Playwright screenshots against design baselines, produces diff artifacts and summaries, and enforces thresholds.

Configure Node.js environment globals for scripts/**/*.{js,mjs} in ESLint flat config so process, Buffer, and console are properly recognized. Also explicitly import process and Buffer in compare-screenshots.mjs.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/visual-diff.yaml:
- Around line 55-59: Update the “compare design baseline vs browser captures”
workflow step to run with if: always(), ensuring npm run diff:screenshots
executes even when the preceding capture browser screenshots step fails. Do not
add continue-on-error, so capture failures still fail the job.
In `@specs/014-heroui-web-rebuild/contracts/screen-verification.md`:
- Line 16: Update the automated pixel-diff tooling description around
compare-screenshots.mjs to state that the Markdown summary table is written to
$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY, while the visual-diff-report artifact contains the
composite PNG previews and summary.json only. Remove any implication that the
Markdown table is uploaded as an artifact.
- Line 16: Update the visual-diff procedure description to remove the local npm
run test:visual invocation, leaving the CI workflow
web/scripts/compare-screenshots.mjs and .github/workflows/visual-diff.yaml
references intact. Do not modify or weaken the requirements described in Line 3.
In `@web/scripts/compare-screenshots.mjs`:
- Line 46: Add the Node global definitions from globals.node to the
web/scripts/** ESLint configuration in web/eslint.config.js, so process and
console in compare-screenshots.mjs are recognized during eslint .. Keep the fix
configuration-only and do not add in-source ESLint suppressions.
- Around line 63-66: Update the threshold argument parsing in the CLI handling
for maxDiffFactor and pixelThreshold to validate the complete input as a finite
numeric value between 0 and 1 inclusive. Reject malformed, partially numeric,
NaN, infinite, and out-of-range values before assigning them to options.
- Around line 125-141: Update the screenshot comparison flow around currFiles
and the results loop to discover reference PNG filenames as well, iterate over
the union of current and reference filename sets, and record references missing
from the current captures as failures. Preserve allowMissing when determining
the exit status, while retaining normal comparisons for files present in both
sets.
