description: Use when Playwright visual snapshots in e2e/visual.spec.ts-snapshots/ need to be regenerated after a UI change (logo, theme, layout, anything that affects rendered pixels) and the integration suite needs to be rerun via make int

# Update Integration Snapshots
## When to Use
- A visual change landed (logo, color, spacing, fonts) and `make int` will fail on `visual.spec.ts` until snapshots are regenerated.
- A snapshot test reports diffs you've confirmed are intentional.
Do NOT use when diffs are unintentional regressions — investigate first.
## Procedure
1. **Delete the stale snapshots** so Playwright writes fresh ones (don't try to update in place, the old PNGs can confuse the diff):
```bash
rm e2e/visual.spec.ts-snapshots/*.png
```
2. **Check for port 8080 conflicts.** The `custom_base` test container binds host port 8080. If another container is already on it (common: `doligence-api-1`), the run fails with `Bind for 0.0.0.0:8080 failed: port is already allocated`.
```bash
docker ps --format '{{.Names}}\t{{.Ports}}' | grep ':8080->'
```
If anything other than test containers is bound, stop it first (ask the user before stopping containers from other projects).
3. **Run Playwright with `--update-snapshots`.** Bypass the Makefile so we can pass the flag:
```bash
docker compose run --rm --build playwright npx playwright test --update-snapshots
```
Snapshots must be generated in Linux/Chromium (the compose image), not macOS, because filenames include the platform suffix (e.g. `-chromium-linux.png`).
4. **Verify** by rerunning the normal suite:
```bash
make int
```
Should now pass cleanly.
5. **Commit the regenerated PNGs** alongside the UI change so CI stays green.
## Common Mistakes
- **Running `npx playwright test --update-snapshots` locally on macOS.** Generates `-darwin` filenames CI doesn't use. Always go through the docker compose image.
- **Forgetting to delete first.** `--update-snapshots` does overwrite, but if the test layout changed (new test, renamed snapshot), stale PNGs are left behind. Wipe-and-regenerate is safest.
- **Stopping unrelated containers without asking.** The port conflict is annoying but the user's other dev containers may be holding important state.
## Quick Reference
| Step | Command |
| --------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Wipe snapshots | `rm e2e/visual.spec.ts-snapshots/*.png` |
| Check port 8080 | `docker ps \| grep ':8080->'` |
| Regenerate | `docker compose run --rm --build playwright npx playwright test --update-snapshots` |
| Verify | `make int` |
