Overlapping text and icons

Logs text in the window that overlaps an icon or other text.

Nothing to set up: it's on by default, so a plain elsetest --url staging.example.com already uses it. The options below are for fine-tuning.

This is Elsetest's Overlap plugin. It runs as the instance CheckOverlap. Like every plugin, it gets its turn at random: in each step of a test, one plugin instance is picked, weighted by its frequency. Raise it to check more often.

Options

Set them for one instance with --plugin alias=<alias> key=value, or for every instance of the plugin with --plugin name=Overlap key=value. In a config file, each --plugin is an object in "plugins", e.g.:

{
  "plugins": [
    { "alias": "CheckOverlap", "ignoreSelector": ".carousel" }
  ]
}

A selector says which elements of the page an option is about, e.g. #chat-widget or .cookie-banner button: see Selectors.

frequency

--plugin alias=CheckOverlap frequency=<level>

How often the plugin runs compared to the others.

One of off, lowest, low, normal, high, highest. Default: normal. The default instances set their own (below).

ignoreSelector

--plugin alias=CheckOverlap ignoreSelector=<selector>

Don't log overlaps of elements matching this CSS selector, or inside them. The site can also mark the elements in its HTML with the attribute data-elsetest-overlap-ignore.
