How To Install and Configure Wraith

What is Wraith?

Wraith is a visual regression testing tool which uses screenshot comparisons to assess visual differences in a website over time. It is currently hosted on GitHub and available under an Apache 2.0 open-source license.

Who Benefits From Using Wraith?

Wraith is often used to ensure that new changes do not adversely affect the design of a production website. You can run Wraith to compare the output of each page on a website.

Prerequisites

Wraith uses various third-party programs to work correctly. In this tutorial, we will be installing Wraith on Ubuntu 18.04. To install it, we first need to install the dependencies below.

  • Ruby
  • ImageMagick
  • At least one of the following browsers:
    • PhantomJS
    • CasperJS
    • SlimerJS

Step 1. Install Ruby

Ruby is an open-source dynamic programming language. We will use a simple installation during this install process. If you want a full, advanced ruby installation, you can follow this link to the article on how to install Ruby on Rails.

After Ruby is installed, we can check the version using the following command.

root@host:~# ruby --version
ruby 2.5.1p57 (2018-03-29 revision 63029) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
root@host:~#

Step 2. Verify If ImageMagick is Installed

ImageMagick is a set of programs for reading and editing files in graphic format. It may come preinstalled with your version of Ubuntu, but we will still verify to ensure it is installed. The output should be similar to the following if ImageMagick is not installed.

root@host:~# convert --version
Command 'convert' not found, but can be installed with:

apt install imagemagick-6.q16                
apt install graphicsmagick-imagemagick-compat
apt install imagemagick-6.q16hdri

Step 3. Install One of the Following Browsers

Next, we need to install one of the three needed browser types.

  • PhantomJS
  • CasperJS
  • SlimerJS
  • Chrome (Currently using Selenium WebDriver + Chromedriver for Chrome; Can target specific selectors)

For the purpose of this tutorial, we will be installing PhantomJS. PhantomJS is a well-known browser used for automatic page interactions. It is an effective tool for offline website testing, screen capture, page automation, and network monitoring. It also provides support for various web standards including DOM processing, CSS, JSON, Canvas, and SVG selector.

 Next, we will again update our package list.

root@host:~# apt-get update

Then, we need to install a few additional libraries needed for PhantomJS.

root@host:~# apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev -y

Next, let’s export the file.

root@host:~# export PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64"
root@host:~#

Now, we can download the PhantomJS tar.bz2 installer file.

Next, let’s extract the file.

tar xvjf $PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2

Moving forward, we’ll move the phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64/ folder to /usr/local/share.

root@host:~# mv $PHANTOM_JS /usr/local/share

Now, we can link the phantomjs binary to bin.

root@host:/usr/local/share# ln -sf /usr/local/share/$PHANTOM_JS/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
root@host:/usr/local/share#

Finally, let’s check the installation to see if the version we need is installed.

root@host:/usr/local/share# phantomjs --version
2.1.1
root@host:/usr/local/share#

Step 4. Install Wraith

Let’s proceed with the Wraith install.

root@host:~# gem install wraith
root@host:/usr/local/share# gem install wraith

Again, let’s verify the version of Wraith installed.

root@host:~# wraith --version

root@host:~#

Configure Wraith

First, we need to create a project folder.

mkdir -p /home/user/wraith

Now, let’s change directories into our project folder.

root@host:~# cd /home/user/wraith

Next, we can use the wraith command to set up the folders and files required in our project folder.

root@host:/home/user/wraith# wraith setup
      create  configs
      create  configs/capture.yaml
      create  configs/history.yaml
      create  configs/spider.yaml
      create  javascript

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar  5 15:32 javascript/
root@host:/home/user/wraith#

The wraith command creates the necessary configuration, templates, and settings folders for our wraith files. Next, we will make a copy of the file called “config.yaml” located within the configs folder and give it a new filename called “my_project_name.yaml”. Then, we can use vim to add the settings we want to employ to compare our sites.

root@host:/home/user/wraith# cp configs/capture.yaml configs/my_project_name.yaml

root@host:/home/user/wraith# vim configs/capture.yaml

Below is a complete view of the file.

# (required) The engine to run Wraith with. Examples: 'phantomjs', 'casperjs', 'slimerjs'
browser: “phantomjs”

# (required) The domains to take screenshots of.
domains:
  current:  “http://www.example.com”
  new:      “http://develop.example.com”

# (required) The paths to capture. All paths should exist for both of the domains specified above.
paths:
  home:     /
  about:    /about
  contact:  /get-in-touch

# (required) Screen widths (and optional height) to resize the browser to before taking the screenshot.
screen_widths:
  - 320
  - 600x768
  - 768
  - 1024
  - 1280

# (required) The directory that your screenshots will be stored in
directory: 'shots'

In order to configure the “my_project_name.yaml” file, there are six required parameters we need to adjust (as you can see above).

  • browser
  • domains
    • current
    • new
  • paths:
    • home: /
    • about: /about
    • contact: /get-in-touch
  • screen_widths
  • directory
  • fuzz
This is box title
The yaml file format is space sensitive so the settings like the “Domain” and “Path” entries in the file should be spaced out as depicted within your editor.

There are also several other optional settings we can modify to meet our specific needs.

# (optional) JavaScript file to execute before taking screenshot of every path. Default: nil
before_capture: 'javascript/disable_javascript--phantom.js'

# (optional) The maximum acceptable level of difference (in %) between two images before Wraith reports a failure. Default: 0
threshold: 5

# (optional) Specify the template (and generated thumbnail sizes) for the gallery output.
gallery:
  template: 'slideshow_template' # Examples: 'basic_template' (default), 'slideshow_template'
  thumb_width:  200
  thumb_height: 200

# (optional) Choose which results are displayed in the gallery, and in what order. Default: alphanumeric
# Options:

#   alphanumeric - all paths (with or without a difference) are shown, sorted by path

#   diffs_first - all paths (with or without a difference) are shown, sorted by difference size (largest first)

#   diffs_only - only paths with a difference are shown, sorted by difference size (largest first)

# Note: different screen widths are always grouped together.
mode: diffs_first

# (optional) Set the number of threads to use when saving images. Raising this value can improve performance, but very high
# values can lead to server connection issues. Set to around 1.5 the available CPU cores for best performance. Default: 8
threads: 8

Once you add your specific settings, type :wq in vim to save the file.

How is Wraith Used?

Wraith has two main modes to choose from:

  • «capture»
  • «history»

The Capture mode is useful for comparing versions of a dev site and live site. To utilize this, we can specify two domains within our yaml file, the number of paths, as well as screen widths, and then we can run “wraith capture.”

root@host:~# wraith capture configs/capture.yaml
Config validated. No serious issues found.

The other format is History mode. Using this option, we can compare the same domain over time. It is used for checking whether your site looks the same over time or if something has changed. Helpful when your site uses third-party components.

In this mode, you can specify one domain, any number of paths, and screen widths. You do need to make sure you set the history_dir property and then run the creation story to generate basic screenshots. We can then add new screenshots to compare them with the old ones.

No matter which mode you use, there are certain configuration options which remain applicable to both modes.

Gallery and Output

After capturing each screenshot, Wraith will verify, then display the necessary information in a diff.png and data.txt. The data.txt will show the number of pixels for each file that has changed. The gallery is available for viewing each image, after comparing all the pictures.

Spider Functionality

In this modality, Wraith will crawl a page or site. You can choose your path in one of two ways.

  1. You can specify the paths manually or,
  2. Have Wraith crawl your website to determine the paths for you.

In order for Wraith to crawl a site for us, we simply have to remove the ‘paths‘ property in the .yaml file, and then specify the ‘imports‘ property in the .yaml file.

imports: "spider_paths.yml"​

Then, we can have Wraith crawl the domain.

wraith spider my_config.yaml

This creates a file called a spider_paths.yml within the same directory as our my_project_name.yaml. Now, we can run our Wraith commands as if we have specified the paths manually.

root@host:~# wraith capture my_config.yml
