compareSnapshot is not a function

See original GitHub issue

I cannot get the snapshot command to be available in my cypress.

I ran npm install cypress-visual-regression Here’s my setup (from this plugins docs):

// cypress/plugins/index.js

const getCompareSnapshotsPlugin = require('cypress-visual-regression/dist/plugin');
module.exports = (on) => {
  getCompareSnapshotsPlugin(on);
};

// cypress/support/commands.js

const compareSnapshotCommand = require('cypress-visual-regression/dist/command');
compareSnapshotCommand();
