fix: count every assertion, and only comparisons that ran - #309
Merged
Merged
Conversation
`assert_matches_screenshot(..., delayed: false)` validated the assertion on the spot and never added it to the session registry. Only the registry reaches `Reporting.notify` at reset, so an immediate assertion was invisible to the end-of-run tally and to every reporter: a suite run with `SnapDiff.config.delayed = false` ended on "0 verified ... NOTHING WAS VERIFIED", and a mismatch raised inside the test but never made the HTML report. The DSL now registers every assertion and, for the immediate path, also calls `validate!` right away. `validate!` marks the assertion so the registry's teardown pass treats it as done; without that, a mismatch would fail the test twice (once in the body, once in `verify`). The flag is set in `validate!` only, so the delayed path (`session.verify`, which re-raises on repeated calls) is unchanged. Not changed: what gets registered. Captures without a baseline still return nil from the matcher and never become assertions; that is a separate change.

Reviewer's GuideThe PR makes end-of-run summaries and HTML reporting reflect every registered assertion and only comparisons that actually ran. Immediate assertions are registered and safely memoized, missing captures become reportable differences instead of type errors, and tallying evaluates pending comparisons while isolating failures to the affected screenshot.

## Individual Comments
### Comment 1

<code_context>
def find_difference(quick_mode: false)
# Validate images exist

# Step 1 of the layered strategy documented on this class: byte-identical
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Missing captures poison quick checks**
When a capture disappears before `quick_equal?` runs and the caller later invokes `different?` on the same comparison, `quick_equal?` destructures the `ComparisonResult` returned by `find_difference(quick_mode: true)` as a pair, storing its `meta` Hash in `difference` and returning `nil`. A later `different?` treats that Hash as a result and raises `NoMethodError`, so the comparison still crashes for callers that quick-check before asking for the verdict.
Make the missing-image quick-mode path return the expected `(equal, difference)` pair, or have `quick_equal?` handle a missing-image result without storing its metadata as the comparison result.
</issue_to_address>
### Comment 2

<code_context>
def find_difference(quick_mode: false)

# Step 1 of the layered strategy documented on this class: byte-identical
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**Missing captures appear as passes**
When a missing-image comparison is recorded by the HTML reporter, `HTML#failure_entry_for` treats this failed result as an ordinary pixel difference, producing no `diff`, `heatmap`, `dimensions_changed` or `error` field. The report template’s `status` therefore labels the entry `pass`, so the HTML report contradicts the test failure.
Represent missing-image failures explicitly in the HTML entry and render them as failures with a message naming the missing input.

</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**External callers miss missing-image failures**
When an external caller checks `failed_by` against the former string for a comparison whose capture disappeared, `ComparisonResult#failed_by` now returns a Hash instead of the former string, so callers matching `"missing_image"` silently miss the failure.
Preserve the old value or provide a documented migration or versioned contract.

…ot a crash
Comparison#find_difference answers "an image is missing" with a null
difference whose failed_by was the String "missing_image". Every reader
indexes failed_by with a Symbol (Comparison#dimensions_changed?,
Reporters::Default#generate), and String#[] with a Symbol raises
TypeError, so `different?` crashed on a capture that disappeared between
capture and comparison (two tests writing the same screenshot name, a
cleanup racing the run).
failed_by is now a Hash like the other failure reason
({missing_image: true}). Three readers had to follow:
- quick_equal? destructures find_difference's answer into [equal, result]
and first stats both files for identical_files?. A missing input now
skips the stat and gets a proper [false, result] pair; before, the bare
Struct splatted into its fields and the next `different?` raised
NoMethodError.
- `different?` runs the default reporter, which tried to annotate images
that do not exist. It gets an annotation-free message in the same style
as the dimension change one: which input is missing, plus the one left.
- The HTML entry carries that message as its error. The page infers
"pass" from absent diff keys, so without it a vanished capture rendered
green.
Not changed: when a comparison runs, and what any other failure reason
looks like.
A Comparison is lazy: it does no pixel work until something asks whether it differs. Reporting.count read the memo (`difference&.different?`), so a comparison nobody ran counted as verified and matching. The gap opens when teardown does not validate. With the legacy `fail_on_difference = false`, verify_screenshots! returns before calling validate, so a differing screenshot ended the run as "1 verified, 0 changed", with no diff files and no report entry. count now asks `compare.different?`, which runs the comparison once and is a memo read on the normal path, where validate already forced it. Forcing a comparison can raise, so count rescues per assertion: the screenshot that cannot be compared is warned about by name and left out of the tally, and the other screenshots of the same test still count. Before, the one rescue in notify dropped the whole test from the summary with a message that named nothing. The two diff_test.rb mocks that counted `different?` reads now expect the extra read. Cost: a suite that resets without validating now pays one comparison per screenshot when the run is tallied -- the same cost the default modes pay at teardown. Not changed: the record modes, validate, or what the legacy flag does to the test result (it still never fails one).

Populate the error message before reading it.
If a missing-image comparison has only run quick_equal?, difference is set but error_message is nil. HTML#record reaches this method without calling processed, so .lines raises. The rescue path lists a generic rendering error instead of the missing input and available baseline. Call compare.processed before reading error_message.

What changes
Three fixes to the end-of-run tally, each its own commit.
delayed: falseare counted and reported. The matcher always registers the assertion; immediate mode additionally validates it on the spot (raising once, not again at teardown). Before, immediate assertions never reachedReporting.notify, so a suite running in immediate mode ended on0 verified … NOTHING WAS VERIFIEDand its failures were absent from the HTML report.Comparison#find_differencereturnedfailed_by = "missing_image"(a String) and two callers index it as a Hash, raisingTypeError.failed_byis now always a Hash;quick_equal?returns a proper[false, result]pair for that case; the HTML report shows the entry as an error (no capture to diff) instead of inferring a pass from the missing diff keys.Reporting.countforces each comparison (verdict) before reading its result; a comparison that raises costs one row and one warning naming the screenshot, not the whole test's tally.Why merge
The summary line and the HTML report are the only two places that say whether a run verified anything. After this PR they are correct for immediate mode, for
fail_on_difference = false, and for a capture deleted mid-run.Drawbacks
SnapDiff.resetwithout verifying first (e.g. withfail_on_difference = false) now run one comparison per screenshot at teardown and write diff artifacts for differing ones. That is the cost of a truthful summary; the normal path pays nothing extra (the comparison is memoised).failed_byconsumers that compared against the string"missing_image"must readfailed_by[:missing_image]instead. No such consumer exists inlib/ortest/.Evidence
