Error - Incorrect project token

Learn how to fix errors related to incorrect project token in Percy

The incorrect project token error occurs when the project token used does not match the Percy project or command being used.

How to fix it

Check if you are using the right token for the Percy project you are working with. Here’s how to identify and correct common issues:

Scenario 1: Using a Percy Web token with Percy with Automate or App Percy

• If you are using a token from a Percy Web project web_<token_sha> but trying to run tests with Percy with Automate or App Percy, you will see this error.

What to do:

Use a token from a compatible project:

• Percy with Automate tokens: auto_<token_sha>
• App Percy tokens: app_<token_sha>

Scenario 2: Using the Percy snapshot command with Automate or App Percy

• If you are running the percy snapshot command with an Automate or App Percy project token, it will not work since this command works only for Percy Web.

What to do:

• Use the percy screenshot command for Automate or App Percy.
• Make sure the token prefix matches the product, auto_ for Automate, app_ for App Percy.
