meticulous-simulate-and-diff
Simulate a session and analyze diffs
This skill covers running a single simulation and interpreting the results. For the simulate command's full option reference see the meticulous-cli-simulate skill.
Prerequisites
- A
sessionIdto replay - An
appUrl(local dev server, or leave blank to use the original recorded URL) - Optionally: a
baseReplayId— the ID of a prior replay to diff screenshots against. Without this, screenshots are stored but not compared.
If you don't have a baseReplayId, you can find one from a downloaded test run:
meticulous download test-run --apiToken=$METICULOUS_API_TOKEN
# Then inspect ~/.meticulous/test-runs/<testRunId>/coverage.json
# or check the testCases[].replayId fields
Step 1 — Run the simulation
