cy.task('Matching image snapshot') failed with the following error

Hi, I'm using image snapshot lib and I got the following issue with it.

I faced the same issue. Which cypres version do you use? I use cypress: 10.1.0 so that I added following code to my cypress.config.ts file and it was solved for me.

// cypress.config.ts
import {addMatchImageSnapshotPlugin} from 'cypress-image-snapshot/plugin';

export default defineConfig({
    ...restConfigs
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
        addMatchImageSnapshotPlugin(on, config);
    },
    ...restConfigs
});

Little addition: you need to set setupNodeEvents inside e2e or component config sections as described in Cypress documentation.

Has this been resolved? I am using Cypress 9 and still have this issue

[believer-ufa]

that's not an issue. you just need properly configure your plugin, instructions already given above.

I ran into this as well and thought it might help to share the full cypress.config.js I have:

const { defineConfig } = require('cypress')
const { addMatchImageSnapshotPlugin } = require('cypress-image-snapshot/plugin')

module.exports = defineConfig({
  e2e: {
    setupNodeEvents(on, config) {
      // implement node event listeners here
      addMatchImageSnapshotPlugin(on, config)
    },
  }
})

As you can see, there's no need to create a plugins folder with configuration anymore.

Cypress version: 10.3.1
