image » compare(baseline,actual)
DEPRECATED - USE saveDiff(var,baseline,actual) INSTEAD.
Description
This command compares 2 images (baseline and actual). If the two images are different, the difference is highlighted
(as rectangular borders) in a new image saved to the output folder. A link will be provided to this “diff” image in the
corresponding screenshot column as comparison and this associated step marked as FAIL.
Color for highlighting difference can be modified via nexial.imageDiffColor.
The comparison uses nexial.imageTolerance as variance.
Parameters
- baseline - the full path of the expected image to compare.
- actual - the full path of the actual image file to compare.
