Actual on the web

E2E tests

E2E (end-to-end) tests use Playwright. Running them requires an Actual server to be running either locally or on a remote server.

Functional

Running against the local server:

# Start the development server
yarn start

# Run against the local server (localhost:3001)
yarn e2e

Running against a remote server:

E2E_START_URL=http://my-remote-server.com yarn e2e

Visual regression

Visual regression tests (also known as screenshot tests) check that the visual appearance of the product has not regressed. Each environment has slightly different colors, fonts etc. Mac differs from Windows which differs from Linux. In order to have a stable test environment for visual comparisons - you must use a standartised docker container. This ensures that the tests are always ran in a consistent environment.
