This gem provides a set of RSpec matchers to allow relative comparisons of images.

e.g. User.image.should look_like(otherimage)

The gem relies on ImageMagick being installed and available from the command line as it utilizes its identify command.

The gem has only been tested with Rails 3.0 & 3.1 with the asset pipeline and RSpec 2; it has also only been tested with ImageMagick V6.x.

Include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'image_spec'

include the matchers in your spec_helper.rb:

require 'image_spec/matchers'
