Is it possible to indicate to Paparazzi to wait a few milliseconds to record the snapshot (I am showing an snackbar in Compose and Paparazzi can't get it)

I'm afk but there's a method where you can set the time you wanna start capturing. That might be the gif method. You can take only one frame later on kinda truck

Yeah, but gif is not compatible with compose

Try something like

paparazzi.gif(view, start = 500L, end = 500L, fps = 1)

I can't, I haven't a View with Compose

You cannot what?

I haven't a View, I have a composable, I can't use it with

gif

method

fun snapshot(name: String? = null, composable: @Composable () -> Unit) {
    val hostView = ComposeView(context)
    // During onAttachedToWindow, AbstractComposeView will attempt to resolve its parent's
    // CompositionContext, which requires first finding the "content view", then using that to
    // find a root view with a ViewTreeLifecycleOwner
    val parent = FrameLayout(context).apply { id = android.R.id.content }
    parent.addView(hostView, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT)
    PaparazziComposeOwner.register(parent)
    hostView.setContent(composable)
    snapshot(parent, name)

    forceReleaseComposeReferenceLeaks()
  }

You can try to copy the hack it’s doing and pass the view to the gif method

I will try, thank you :)

I tried a PR for this https://github.com/cashapp/paparazzi/pull/509, but my impression is that it surfaces a bunch of areas that integration with compose is still needed.

Thank you :) subscribed to all issues. I am not using launchedeffect as I delegate everything to the viewModel, if there is an snapshot I could try it next week

No idea, I'm external contributor. They will probably reject my PR as it would create juts more bugs raised for now.

@Benoit Quenaudon sorry for my late reply, I tried it, a tons of images are created and a video too, but there is no animation. I tried to increase to 3 seconds but no luck, no animation is shown.

Sorry I cannot help more than that. The best try would be to have a repro test and attach it to an issue on the github repo

I think it is better to get an official integration, but it is blocked as @yschimke mentioned on the issue. How is Square testing animations with Paparazzi? instead of testing an animation, setting a frame where the composable is visible (for example a snackbar)?
