Running Visual Tests

View as Markdown

Where to run Buddy Visual Tests - in Buddy pipelines, GitHub Actions, or locally with the CLI.

Visual test sessions can be created from anywhere the bdy CLI runs. The most common setups:

  • Buddy Pipelines - first-class integration: select a suite in the action, tokens handled automatically, human-in-the-loop approval gates
  • GitHub Actions - run sessions from GHA workflows and gate merges on visual approval
  • Local - run sessions from your machine while developing
  • Buddy Pipelines

    Integrate visual tests into Buddy pipelines - select a suite in a build action, add an approval gate, and see complete pipeline examples.

  • GitHub Actions

    Run Buddy Visual Tests from GitHub Actions workflows and block merges until visual changes are approved.

  • Local

    Run Buddy Visual Tests from your local machine with the bdy CLI - environment setup, a Cypress example, and scriptless captures.
