Screenshot Generation System - Implementation Summary

Date: January 17, 2026 Status: ✅ Complete and Production-Ready

Overview

Implemented a comprehensive automated screenshot generation system for the segmentation viewer that captures all major UI states and features systematically. The system integrates seamlessly with existing Playwright test infrastructure and CLI.

Deliverables

1. Core Screenshot Generation Script ✅

File: scripts/generate_segmentation_screenshots.py

Features:

  • Automated screenshot capture using Playwright
  • 13+ screenshot scenarios covering all UI states
  • Desktop (1920x1080) and responsive viewports (tablet 768x1024, mobile 375x667)
  • Metadata generation with screenshot details
  • Comprehensive error handling
  • ~30 seconds for desktop, ~60 seconds for all viewports

Screenshot Scenarios:

  1. Initial empty state
  2. Episodes loaded with thumbnails
  3. Episode details expanded
  4. Key frames gallery
  5. Search empty state
  6. Search filtered results
  7. Recording filter dropdown
  8. Full page view 9-11. Tablet views 12-13. Mobile views

Usage:

# Generate all screenshots
uv run python scripts/generate_segmentation_screenshots.py

# Desktop only (faster)
uv run python scripts/generate_segmentation_screenshots.py --skip-responsive

# Custom output with metadata
uv run python scripts/generate_segmentation_screenshots.py \
    --output screenshots/segmentation \
    --save-metadata

2. CLI Integration ✅

File: src/openadapt_viewer/cli.py

Added Commands:

  • screenshots - Parent command for screenshot generation
  • screenshots segmentation - Generate segmentation viewer screenshots

Features:

  • Argument validation
  • Script execution wrapper
  • Help documentation
  • Error handling

Usage:

# Via CLI
uv run openadapt-viewer screenshots segmentation --output screenshots/

# With options
uv run openadapt-viewer screenshots segmentation \
    --skip-responsive \
    --save-metadata

3. Automated Test Suite ✅

File: tests/test_segmentation_screenshots.py

Test Categories:

  • Basic tests (fast, no Playwright): Script existence, imports, help, dependencies
  • Integration tests (requires Playwright): Full screenshot generation, metadata validation
  • Error handling tests: Missing viewer, missing test data, invalid paths
  • CLI tests: Command availability, help messages

Test Markers:

  • @pytest.mark.slow - Long-running tests
  • @pytest.mark.playwright - Requires Playwright and browsers

Usage:

# Run all tests
uv run pytest tests/test_segmentation_screenshots.py -v

# Fast tests only
uv run pytest tests/test_segmentation_screenshots.py -m "not slow" -v

# Integration tests only
uv run pytest tests/test_segmentation_screenshots.py -m playwright -v

4. Comprehensive Documentation ✅

Installation

Prerequisites

# Python 3.10+
python --version

# Install dependencies
cd /Users/abrichr/oa/src/openadapt-viewer
uv sync

Playwright Setup (One-Time)

# Install Playwright
uv pip install playwright

# Install Chromium browser
uv run playwright install chromium

# Verify installation
uv run python scripts/generate_segmentation_screenshots.py --check-deps

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  1. Playwright not installed

    uv pip install playwright
uv run playwright install chromium

  2. Chromium binary not found

    uv run playwright install chromium --with-deps

  3. Screenshots are blank

    • Check viewer HTML path exists
    • Verify test data JSON is valid
    • Inspect browser console logs

  4. Permission denied

    mkdir -p screenshots/segmentation
chmod 755 screenshots/segmentation

See docs/SCREENSHOT_GENERATION.md for complete troubleshooting guide.

Maintenance

Regular Tasks

  1. Regenerate after UI changes - Update screenshots when viewer HTML changes
  2. Update test data - Keep test episodes JSON current
  3. Review screenshots - Verify quality and relevance
  4. Update documentation - Keep docs in sync with code

Best Practices

  1. Use consistent viewports
  2. Keep test data minimal and focused
  3. Regenerate regularly (before releases)
  4. Review diffs before committing
  5. Use CI/CD to catch missing updates
