Use Argos with Other CI

Configure your CI 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​

Argos uses a token called ARGOS_TOKEN to identify to which repository the screenshots you send are related to.

  • 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
    Set the ARGOS_TOKEN as an environment variable and paste the value you stored in the previous step.

3. Upload the screenshots​

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

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!
