It works by capturing SVG screenshots of your Textual app during test execution, storing them on disk, and comparing new screenshots against saved baselines on subsequent runs. When a screenshot differs from the baseline, the test fails and provides a diff report.\n\nThe plugin integrates directly into pytest via the snap_compare fixture, which accepts either a Textual App instance or a path to an app file. It supports simulating key presses, running setup code before capture, and customizing terminal dimensions to test different layouts. When snapshots change intentionally, you update them with the --snapshot-update flag. The package depends on pytest, rich, textual, syrupy, and jinja2.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are actively developing Textual applications and want automated visual regression testing. The low install friction, permissive MIT license, and Production/Stable status make it straightforward to add to a pytest workflow. However, the dormant maintenance status (568 days since last release) means you should verify compatibility with your current Textual version before committing to it in a production pipeline."},"id":"pytest-textual-snapshot","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-textual-snapshot","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pytest-textual-snapshot.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pytest-textual-snapshot/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-01-23","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"pytest-textual-snapshot","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Snapshot testing for Textual apps"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":343784,"position":7380,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.1.0"}
