## Build Notes
### GL vs Non-GL Apps
- Main app (minimal_test) uses `LDFLAGS_GL` with OpenGL support
- Standalone test apps use `LDFLAGS_NOGL` without OpenGL
- This prevents "_glBegin is not defined" crashes in non-GL apps
### Build Command
Always use the build script:
```bash
cd tests/wasm-app && ./build-test-apps.sh
```

Add baseline screenshots and visual regression testing
Add infrastructure for visual regression testing of wxWidgets WASM rendering:
- Add 121 baseline screenshots capturing all UI states tested by Playwright
- Add scripts/compare-screenshots.sh to compare test results vs baseline
- Update tests/WHATWORKS.md with documentation on screenshot comparison
- Update wxwidgets submodule with dialog refactoring
The baseline screenshots cover:
- Main app tabs (Controls, Text Input, Drawing, Lists, OpenGL, Grid, Dialogs)
- Standalone test apps (menu, toolbar, layout, aui, clipboard, filedialog, etc.)
- Dialog/MessageBox rendering (info, yes/no, error, custom dialogs)
- OpenGL rendering tests (immediate mode, vertex arrays, matrix ops)
- UI interactions (dropdowns, tab switching, z-ordering)
Use ./scripts/compare-screenshots.sh to check for visual regressions.
Small byte differences (<2%) are typically timestamps, not visual changes.

## Baseline Screenshots
The test suite captures screenshots during test runs for visual regression testing. These screenshots are compared against a baseline to detect unexpected visual changes.
### Directory Structure
```
tests/
├── baseline-screenshots/ # Known-good reference screenshots (121 files)
├── test-results/ # Screenshots from latest test run
└── wasm-app/
└── e2e/ # Playwright test specs
```
### Comparing Screenshots
Use the comparison script to check for visual regressions:
```bash
./scripts/compare-screenshots.sh
```
This will:
- Compare all baseline screenshots with current test results
- Report identical, different, and missing screenshots
- Show file size differences (useful for detecting changes)
Example output:
```
=== Screenshot Comparison ===
Baseline: /path/to/tests/baseline-screenshots
Test Results: /path/to/tests/test-results
=== Comparing Baseline Screenshots ===
DIFFERENT: dialogs-msgbox-info-open.png (baseline: 47468B, current: 47478B, diff: 10B / .02%)
=== Summary ===
Total baseline screenshots: 121
Identical: 54
Different: 67
Missing from test results: 0
```
### Understanding Differences
Small byte differences (<2%) are typically caused by:
- **Timestamps** in event logs (e.g., `[19:45:35]` vs `[18:49:35]` )
- **PNG compression** variations between runs
- **Anti-aliasing** differences
These are **not ** visual regressions. Visually inspect screenshots if you see larger differences.
### Updating Baseline Screenshots
After verifying changes are intentional, update the baseline:
```bash
# Copy current screenshots to baseline
cp tests/test-results/*.png tests/baseline-screenshots/
# Or selectively update specific screenshots
cp tests/test-results/dialog-*.png tests/baseline-screenshots/
```
### Running Tests with Screenshots
```bash
cd tests/wasm-app
npm test # Run all tests (saves screenshots to test-results/)
npx playwright test --ui # Interactive mode with screenshot preview
```
