When running a simple test and the new image does not match the baseline:
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise IOError("cannot identify image file %r" % (filename if filename else fp))
OSError: cannot identify image file '.../screenshots/something.diff.ppm'
something.diff.ppm turns out to be an empty file. When running perceptualdiff manually:
$ perceptualdiff baseline/something.png something.png --output some.ppm
FAIL: Images are visibly different
86451 pixels are different
Failed to save to 'some.ppm'
It shows an error, but as it turns out, this does work:
$ perceptualdiff baseline/something.png something.png --output some.png
FAIL: Images are visibly different
86451 pixels are different
Wrote difference image to some.png
perceptualdiff uses FreeImage since 1.0.2 (and it still does):
1.0.2 - [jt] Converted the loading and saving routines to use FreeImage
Even though FreeImage supports PPM, for some reason it doesn't work on my machine. Oddly enough gimp can write PPM and my image viewer can view it too. Anyway, all this can be avoided by requesting a png from perceptualdiff instead of a ppm and then converting it to png; and update the docs to require at least perceptualdiff >= 1.0.2.
This is actually a duplicate of #61 but it got closed by the reporter.
I'm using the latest perceptualdiff, needle 0.5.0, python 3.7 (and pytest-needle 0.3.11).
