This Github Action displays test results from popular testing frameworks directly in GitHub.
✔️ Parses test results in XML or JSON format and creates nice report as Github Check Run
✔️ Annotates code where it failed based on message and stack trace captured during test execution
✔️ Provides final conclusion and counts of passed, failed and skipped tests as output parameters

Following setup does not work in workflows triggered by pull request from forked repository. If that's fine for you, using this action is as simple as:
on:
pull_request:
push:
jobs:
build-test:
name: Build & Test
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2 # checkout the repo
- run: npm ci # install packages
- run: npm test # run tests (configured to use jest-junit reporter)
- name: Test Report
uses: dorny/test-reporter@v1
if: success() || failure() # run this step even if previous step failed
with:
name: JEST Tests # Name of the check run which will be created
path: reports/jest-*.xml # Path to test results
reporter: jest-junit # Format of test resultsWorkflows triggered by pull requests from forked repositories are executed with read-only token and therefore can't create check runs. To workaround this security restriction, it's required to use two separate workflows:
CIruns in the context of the PR head branch with the read-only token. It executes the tests and uploads test results as a build artifactTest Reportruns in the context of the repository main branch with read/write token. It will download test results and create reports
The second workflow will only run after it has been merged into your default branch (typically main or master), it won't run in a PR unless after the workflow file is part of that branch.

dart-json
Test run must be configured to use JSON reporter.
You can configure it in dart_test.yaml:
file_reporters:
json: reports/test-results.jsonOr with CLI arguments:
dart test --file-reporter="json:test-results.json"
For more information see:
dotnet-trx
Test execution must be configured to produce Visual Studio Test Results files (TRX). To get test results in TRX format you can execute your tests with CLI arguments:
dotnet test --logger "trx;LogFileName=test-results.trx"
Or you can configure TRX test output in *.csproj or Directory.Build.props:
<PropertyGroup>
<VSTestLogger>trx%3bLogFileName=$(MSBuildProjectName).trx</VSTestLogger>
<VSTestResultsDirectory>$(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)/TestResults/$(TargetFramework)</VSTestResultsDirectory>
</PropertyGroup>Supported testing frameworks:
For more information see dotnet test
flutter-json
Test run must be configured to use JSON reporter.
You can configure it in dart_test.yaml:
file_reporters:
json: reports/test-results.jsonOr with (undocumented) CLI argument:
flutter test --machine > test-results.json
According to documentation dart_test.yaml should be at the root of the package, next to the package's pubspec.
On current stable and beta channels it doesn't work, and you have to put dart_test.yaml inside your test folder.
On dev channel, it's already fixed.
For more information see:
java-junit (Experimental)
Support for JUnit XML is experimental - should work but it was not extensively tested. To have code annotations working properly, it's required your directory structure matches the package name. This is due to the fact Java stack traces don't contain a full path to the source file. Some heuristic was necessary to figure out the mapping between the line in the stack trace and an actual source file.
jest-Junit
JEST testing framework support requires the usage of jest-Junit reporter.
It will create test results in Junit XML format which can be then processed by this action.
You can use the following example configuration in package.json:
"scripts": {
"test": "jest --ci --reporters=default --reporters=jest-Junit"
},
"devDependencies": {
"jest": "^26.5.3",
"jest-junit": "^12.0.0"
},
"jest-junit": {
"outputDirectory": "reports",
"outputName": "jest-junit.xml",
"ancestorSeparator": " › ",
"uniqueOutputName": "false",
"suiteNameTemplate": "{filepath}",
"classNameTemplate": "{classname}",
"titleTemplate": "{title}"
}Configuration of uniqueOutputName, suiteNameTemplate, classNameTemplate, titleTemplate is important for proper visualization of test results.
mocha-json
Mocha testing framework support requires:
You can use the following example configuration in package.json:
"scripts": {
"test": "mocha --reporter json > test-results.json"
}Test processing might fail if any of your tests write anything on standard output.
Mocha, unfortunately, doesn't have the option to store json output directly to the file, and we have to rely on redirecting its standard output.
There is a work in progress to fix it: mocha#4607
Unfortunately, there are some known issues and limitations caused by GitHub API:
- Test report (i.e. Check Run summary) is markdown text. No custom styling or HTML is possible.
- Maximum report size is 65535 bytes. Input parameters
list-suitesandlist-testswill be automatically adjusted if max size is exceeded. - Test report can't reference any additional files (e.g. screenshots). You can use
actions/upload-artifact@v2to upload them and inspect them manually. - Check Runs are created for specific commit SHA. It's not possible to specify under which workflow test report should belong if more workflows are running for the same SHA. Thanks to this GitHub "feature" it's possible your test report will appear in an unexpected place in GitHub UI. For more information, see #67.
