Is there a way to detect change in the alt text of the image?

[Sidgut]

Hello everyone, I am stuck in a case where I am unable to detect a change as only the image banner get updated. The interesting thing that I noticed is that the ALT text of the image changes when there is a new image. Is there any way to detect change in the alt text of the image?

this may be technically possible with the new version of inscriptis that we have

we may be able to include the test of all alt and title tag attributes perhaps (link and image)

Awesome! 🤩 So when is the newer version rolling out?

Also any update on the Image Comparision branch, asking this as there has been no update on the same for over 2months now.

you can use xpath filters quite easily to atleast grab the alt text , for example //img/@alt

there is also the Render anchor tag content option, default disabled, when enabled renders links as (link text)[https://somesite.com]

Is there a way to monitor the alt text of an image now?

I was just trying to figure out how to do this and ran across this old discussion.

Sure, 2 seconds in chatgpt gives //img/@alt as a xpath filter :) tests and it works

xpath is great, //div/a/img/@alt etc
