Automated testing of visuals

[fire]

Describe the project you are working on

Godot Engine

Describe the problem or limitation you are having in your project

We do not have visual tests of Godot.

• GUI
• Rendering

Describe the feature / enhancement and how it helps to overcome the problem or limitation

Use robotframework to provide visual tests.

Need to evaluate:

• With Sikulix https://github.com/rainmanwy/robotframework-SikuliLibrary#readme
• With ScreenCapLibrary https://github.com/mihaiparvu/ScreenCapLibrary

https://robotframework.org/#documentation

Describe how your proposal will work, with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, and/or diagrams

We can use robotframework and pick one of the available frameworks that support vulkan.

If this enhancement will not be used often, can it be worked around with a few lines of script?

Not a few lines of code. Should be ran every time.

Is there a reason why this should be core and not an add-on in the asset library?

Also needs to integrate with cicd.
