Hi, I am trying to write fast, deterministic screenshot tests for compose components, I am using facebook screenshot testing library : is there a way to ComposeView to draw or generate bitmap without attaching to a window? Or any recommendation to write fast screenshot tests for jetpack compose components without starting an activity

Considered paparazzi?

There's ComposeScene but that's desktop-only

We are using Paparazzi and it’s working well. Just note that you need to use snapshot version at the moment.

at my day job, the team is currently looking at using “Shot” which is another library for snapshot testing. it’s mid-evaluation right now, but we haven’t looked into Paparazzi, which I personally had forgotten all about

the team was really just looking at the FB library or Shot, but perhaps I need to throw Paparazzi into the mix..

is it correct to say that it doesn’t matter if you have a mixture of old Activities and Fragments plus new Composables, that Paparazzi can handle old those layouts too? I mean specifically, layouts which were not written with custom views, but just layout files inflated into stock standard Fragments?

[Albert Chang]

Yep. Paparazzi was originally created for the view system.

paparazzi seems cool, but currently it does not support taking screenshot without device frame, or only the composable
