backstop.template.json
You can customize the contents of the generated backstop.json
file by creating a backstop.template.json
file. In addition to standard items in backstop.json
the backstop.template.json
needs a defaultScenario
key. This will be used when generating the scenarios
for crawled URLs.
For example:
{
"scenarios": [],
"defaultScenario": {
"label": "Default",
"url": "",
"referenceUrl": "",
"hideSelectors": [],
"selectors": [
"document"
],
"readyEvent": null,
"delay": 1500,
"misMatchThreshold": 0.1
}
}
