Annotate Image

The askui client offers an annotation tool which helps with the test creation and debugging of failed tests.

How It Works

The annotation command annotates an image with our AI model producing a single report as an HTML file. This file can easily be shared.

This command takes as optional input:

• imagePath:
  • If this argument is defined, the image at the path is loaded and annotated
  • If this argument is not defined, a screenshot of your specified screen is taken and annotated
• outputPath: This is the output folder path in which the HTML reports are going to be saved. If it's not defined then a folder called report will be created.
• customElements: A list of custom elements. The AI model will use them to detect elements similar to them.

How to Use

/**
* Takes a screenshot of your selected display and produces an HTML report file inside the default output path <project_root>/report.
*/
await aui.annotate();

/**
* Loads the image from <image_path> and produces an HTML report file inside the default output path <output_path>
*/
await aui.annotate(
    {
    imagePath: '<image_path>',
    outputPath: '<output_path>'
    });

/**
* Loads the image from <image_path> and the custom elements and produces an HTML report file inside the default output path <output_path>
*/
await aui.annotate(
    {
    imagePath: '<image_path>',
    outputPath: '<output_path>',
    customElements: [
        {
        customImage: '<custom_image_path|base64Image>',
        imageCompareFormat: 'grayscale',
        name: 'custom element 1'
        },
        {
        // for this custom element the OCR AI model will be used to extract text from the image, since no name was givin  
        customImage: '<custom_image2_path|base64Image>',
        imageCompareFormat: 'RGB',
        }
    ]
    });
