Parameters
This method does not take any parameters.
Return value
Type: CheckSettings
The value returned is the object that called the method. You can use it to call other methods supported by the object class.
Remarks
You can call this method in two ways - with parameters and without parameters. The meaning of the method, and the way it can be used is different in each case. When the method is called without parameters it sets the default match level for this target. When called with one or more regions as parameters it defines the match level for that region. The sections below provide some more details regarding how to use this method in each of these modes.
Called without parameters
If this method is called without parameters then it sets the default match level for this target. This overrides the hard-coded default and the default match level defined by using setMatchLevel.
For a given target you may call only one of the following methods (without parameters) that set a target default match level:
Called with parameters
When the method is called with one or more parameters that define one or more regions, then these set the match level for those regions, overiding the defaults set for the target (by calling these methods without a parameter), set by setMatchLevel and the hardcoded default match level.
You may define multiple regions that have an explicit match level by calling this method multiple times in a chain, or by passing the method multiple regions.
The region matchlevel methods strict(regions), layout(regions), content(regions), strictRegions(regions), layoutRegions(regions), and contentRegions(regions) should not overlap each other or the regions defined using checksettings.ignore (regions) or ignoreRegions(regions). If they overlap with each other, or regions that were defined using the Test Manager, then the results are undefined.

Parameters
layoutBreakpoints_bool
Type: boolean [Optional ]
You can either pass a boolean value or a number. Pass a value of true to enable this feature. Pass one or more viewport widths explicitly, and the JavaScript is executed and the DOM is extracted for each viewport width. For each target, the Ultrafast Grid uses the DOM extracted with the widest viewport that is smaller than the viewport width. For example, if the values 640, 768 and 1024 are passed, then targets with a width between 640 and 767 (inclusive) use the DOM extracted at 640. Similarly, targets between 768 and 1023 use the DOM extracted at 768. Targets that have a width smaller than the smallest defined width use a DOM extracted at one less than the smallest DOM width (639 in this example). Targets that have a width larger than the largest width defined (1024 in this example) use the DOM extracted at the largest width. If no width is specified, then a separate DOM is extracted for each distinct execution environment viewport width.
layoutBreakpoints_arr
Type: number[] [Optional ]
You can either pass a boolean value or a number. Pass a value of true to enable this feature. Pass one or more viewport widths explicitly, and the JavaScript is executed and the DOM is extracted for each viewport width. For each target, the Ultrafast Grid uses the DOM extracted with the widest viewport that is smaller than the viewport width. For example, if the values 640, 768 and 1024 are passed, then targets with a width between 640 and 767 (inclusive) use the DOM extracted at 640. Similarly, targets between 768 and 1023 use the DOM extracted at 768. Targets that have a width smaller than the smallest defined width use a DOM extracted at one less than the smallest DOM width (639 in this example). Targets that have a width larger than the largest width defined (1024 in this example) use the DOM extracted at the largest width. If no width is specified, then a separate DOM is extracted for each distinct execution environment viewport width.

eyes.check(Target.window().strictRegions(regions));
Parameters
regions
Type: (RegionPlain|Element|Selector)[]
One or more region descriptors or selectors in one of the defined types.
Type definitions
RegionPlain
Used to describe a position and rectangular region in an image. RegionPlain is defined as: LocationPlain and RectangleSizePlain
Element
Used to identify an HTML element defined as import('selenium-webdriver').WebElement|import('protractor').ElementFinder.
Selector
Used to identify an HTML element defined as |import('protractor').Locator|{using:string;value:string}|string|{selector:string;Type: string}.
Return value
Type: CheckSettings
The value returned is the object that called the method. You can use it to call other methods supported by the object class.
Remarks
You can define multiple regions that have an explicit match level by calling this method multiple times, or by passing the method multiple regions.
The region matchlevel methods strict(regions), layout(regions), content(regions), strictRegions(regions), layoutRegions(regions), and contentRegions(regions) should not overlap each other or the regions defined using checksettings.ignore (regions) or ignoreRegions(regions). If they overlap with each other, or regions that were defined using the Test Manager, then the results are undefined.

timeout method
Syntax
eyes.check(Target.window().timeout(timeout));
Parameters
timeout
Type: number
The timeout to use in milliseconds.
Return value
Type: CheckSettings
The value returned is the object that called the method. You can use it to call other methods supported by the object class.
Remarks
You may only call this method once in a given chain. The timeout value provided here overrides the default value or the value set by setMatchTimeout for the current target. Passing this method a value of zero disables the timeout mechanism.
variationGroupId method
Syntax
eyes.check(Target.window().variationGroupId(variationGroupId));
Parameters
variationGroupId
Type: string
The value of the variation group ID to be set.
Return value
Type: CheckSettings
visualGridOption method
Syntax
eyes.check(Target.window().visualGridOption());
Parameters
This method does not take any parameters.
Return value
Type: CheckSettings
Remarks
The following configuration key/value pairs are currently supported:
'chromeHeadless'
Normally, the Ultrafast Grid renders its images using Headless Chrome. There are cases where the behavior of Headless Chrome is different from that of regular Chrome browser, and if the baseline was created with a regular Chrome browser, the differences will be found. Set this option to a value of false to instruct the Ultrafast Grid to use a regular Chrome browser instead of the Headless Chrome browser, so as to eliminate differences that arise because of the different types of Chrome browser.
'polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets'
Adopted Stylesheets are a way to create and distribute reusable styles when using a Shadow DOM. Adopted Stylesheets are not supported by all browsers, so their use may cause mismatches when doing cross-browser validation. By default, when the Ultrafast Grid detects that a page being checked uses Adopted Stylesheets, it will not render that checkpoint, the check will fail, and the test will be aborted. In the Test Manager, the test results for that run will have an Aborted status, and the step that failed will have a Missing status.
To enable rendering of checkpoints that include Adopted Stylesheets, and to ensure that the test can complete successfully, you need to explicitly set the Ultrafast Grid option polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets to a value of true or false:
- Setting a value of true instructs the Ultrafast Grid to polyfill Adopted Stylesheets.
- Setting a value of false instructs the Ultrafast Grid to render the page without polyfilling Adopted Stylesheets.
You can set this option globally using the method Configuration.setVisualGridOption
You can override the global value for a given checkpoint using the method CheckSettings.visualGridOption.
Example
eyes.check(
Target.window()
.visualGridOptions(new VisualGridOption("polyfillAdoptedStyleSheets", true)));
withName method
Syntax
eyes.check(Target.window().withName(name));
Parameters
name
Type: string
The name to be given to this check point.
Return value
Type: CheckSettings
The value returned is the object that called the method. You can use it to call other methods supported by the object class.
Remarks
You can only call this method once in a given chain.
