Gif support for Compose

[JavierSegoviaCordoba]

Paparazzi hasn't Gif support for Compose, it should be great if it was added.

Is it possible, as a workaround, to wrap the composable with AndroidView?

In the meantime, this totally works:

val view = ComposeView(paparazziRule.context)
view.setContent {
    PaparazziTestTheme(darkTheme = true) {
        Page()
    }
}
paparazziRule.gif(view, "test", 0L, 500L, 30)

val view = ComposeView(paparazziRule.context)
view.setContent {
    PaparazziTestTheme(darkTheme = true) {

    }
}
paparazziRule.gif(view, "test", 0L, 500L, 30)

Well, it worked but, It generated a .mov file instead of a .gif in the videos folder. Also, it generated a bunch of images in the screenshot folder, which I would assume that these are the .gif frames. Is that the expected result??

lib version used: 1.3.1

Yep, if you look at the source code, that is expected: https://github.com/cashapp/paparazzi/blob/master/paparazzi/src/main/java/app/cash/paparazzi/HtmlReportWriter.kt. The way it works is that every frame is generated, and then assembled in a video.

Arguably, it could be cleaned.

As of now, the snapshot verifier does not verify videos, just fixed images: https://github.com/cashapp/paparazzi/blob/master/paparazzi/src/main/java/app/cash/paparazzi/SnapshotVerifier.kt
