How to ignore a particular ID or class while comparing in Smart UI
Hey Brett,
If you ever need to exclude a specific element, like a div, from being compared when capturing and comparing images in your testing, you can make use of the following code snippet:
driver.execute_script("smartui.takeScreenshot, {\"screenshotName\":\"dom-screenshot\", \"ignoreDOM\":{\"id\":[\"email\"]}}")
This script allows you to take a screenshot while instructing the testing tool to ignore certain elements with specific attributes, like an element with the id of “email,” when comparing images. It’s a handy technique to ensure that your image comparisons focus on the important aspects of your web application.
