Use Argos with CodeShip

Configure CodeShip to send screenshots to Argos visual testing platform.

1. Install​

Install the @argos-cli package from npm:

npm i --save-dev @argos-cli

2. Set ARGOS_TOKEN as CI secret​

  • Step 1: Get the token value
    On Argos, go to the repository you want to set and click on the "settings" tab. Store the ARGOS_TOKEN value.

  • Step 2: Create a secret in your CI
    In your CodeShip project go to Settings > Environment Variables. Set the ARGOS_TOKEN as an environment variable and paste the value you stored in the previous step.

If you are not comfortable with storing secret, read CodeShip documentation about environment variables.

3. Upload the screenshots​

Add the following command to your CI workflow to upload screenshots to Argos:

npx @argos-ci/cli upload ./screenshots

Example​

codeship-steps.yml
- name: ci
  type: parallel
  steps:
    - service: project_name
      command: npx @argos-ci/cli upload ./screenshots

Enjoy!​

Congratulations, now that Argos is installed, your app screenshots will be uploaded to Argos by your CI. You are ready to start the visual testing routine!
