hi,
were are using elastic synthetic for our UI tests.
I have seen on the documentation that elastic synthetic is based on playwright and used jest commands.
"...Use the assertion library provided by the Synthetics agent to look for the expected value. See Jest expect docs for more information...."
in our usecase we want to use the the visual comparison feature from playwright which is as well part of jest.
we try following statement, as mentioned in jest documentation:
<>
step("Do Comparison", async() => {
expect(await page.screenshot()).toMatchSnapshot();
});
</>
Unfortunately we are receiving following message:
TypeError: expect(...).toMatchSnapshot is not a function
at Step.eval [as callback] (eval at loadInlineScript (/usr/share/heartbeat/.node/node/lib/node_modules/@elastic/synthetics/src/loader.ts:89:20), :14:41)
at async Runner.runStep (/usr/share/heartbeat/.node/node/lib/node_modules/@elastic/synthetics/src/core/runner.ts:213:7)

at async Command. (/usr/share/heartbeat/.node/node/lib/node_modules/@elastic/synthetics/src/cli.ts:131:23)
my idea is, that elastic is using an old version of jest or playwright or I am doing something wrong.
Do you have an idea or suggestion?
