Screenshot tests currently force an OpenGL 4.5 renderer, which can miss stricter validation failures that ANGLE catches. This change switches screenshot test execution to ANGLE_GLES3 and configures the screenshot CI job to run ANGLE on a Vulkan software-rendering setup.

  • Renderer selection in screenshot test harness

    • Updated ScreenshotTest.run() to use AppSettings.ANGLE_GLES3 instead of AppSettings.LWJGL_OPENGL45.
  • Screenshot CI environment for ANGLE-on-Vulkan software rendering

    • Updated the ScreenshotTests job in .github/workflows/main.yml to set:
      • LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1
      • VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/lvp_icd.x86_64.json
      • VK_DRIVER_FILES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/lvp_icd.x86_64.json
      • MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink
      • GALLIUM_DRIVER=zink
    • Added an install step in ScreenshotTests to ensure required runtime libraries/tools are present in the CI container for ANGLE-on-Vulkan software rendering:
      • libegl1
      • libgles2
      • libvulkan1
      • libx11-6
      • libx11-xcb1
      • libxcb1
      • libxcb-dri3-0
      • libxcb-present0
      • libxcb-randr0
      • libxcb-shm0
      • libxcb-sync1
      • libxcb-xfixes0
      • libxshmfence1
      • mesa-vulkan-drivers
      • vulkan-tools
// before
settings.setRenderer(AppSettings.LWJGL_OPENGL45);

// after
settings.setRenderer(AppSettings.ANGLE_GLES3);

🖼️ Screenshot tests have failed.

The purpose of these tests is to ensure that changes introduced in this PR don't break visual features. They are visual unit tests.

📄 Where to find the report:

⚠️ If you didn't expect to change anything visual:
Fix your changes so the screenshot tests pass.

If you did mean to change things:
Review the replacement images in jme3-screenshot-tests/build/changed-images to make sure they really are improvements and then replace and commit the replacement images at jme3-screenshot-tests/src/test/resources.

If you are creating entirely new tests:
Find the new images in jme3-screenshot-tests/build/changed-images and commit the new images at jme3-screenshot-tests/src/test/resources.

Note; it is very important that the committed reference images are created on the build pipeline, locally created images are not reliable. Similarly tests will fail locally but you can look at the report to check they are "visually similar".

See https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine/blob/master/jme3-screenshot-tests/README.md for more information

@copilot switching the renderer to ANGLE_GLES3 is simply not enough. You need to configure the software rendering environment to support ANGLE on vulkan.

@copilot switching the renderer to ANGLE_GLES3 is simply not enough. You need to configure the software rendering environment to support ANGLE on vulkan.

Addressed in commit 21c01d7 by configuring the screenshot CI job with explicit Vulkan software-rendering variables for ANGLE (VK_ICD_FILENAMES, VK_DRIVER_FILES, MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE, GALLIUM_DRIVER, and LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE).

@copilot it fails with Failed to create SDL window: Could not create GLES window surface , i think the base image doesn't have the libraries needed for software rendering with angle vulkan

Fixed in 30b8ca6. I added a setup step in the ScreenshotTests workflow to install the missing EGL/GLES/Vulkan runtime packages (libegl1-mesa, libgles2-mesa, libvulkan1, mesa-vulkan-drivers, vulkan-tools) before running tests, with sudo fallback handling for the container environment.

Updated in commit a483220. I replaced libegl1-mesa/libgles2-mesa with the Ubuntu Noble package names libegl1/libgles2 in the ScreenshotTests dependency install step (both sudo and non-sudo paths).

Fixed in 0a7fa58. I updated the ScreenshotTests dependency step to also install X11/XCB runtime libraries (libx11-6, libx11-xcb1, libxcb1) so ANGLE-on-Vulkan can expose the required surface extensions (VK_KHR_surface/VK_KHR_xcb_surface) under xvfb.

Updated in bf064d7. I expanded the ScreenshotTests dependency install step to include the full XCB/WSI runtime libraries required by Mesa Vulkan surface support (libxcb-dri3-0, libxcb-present0, libxcb-randr0, libxcb-shm0, libxcb-sync1, libxcb-xfixes0, libxshmfence1) in both sudo and non-sudo paths.
