Setup

Configure the workflow

name: build
on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build and Run Tests
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Build and Run Tests
        run: # execute your tests generating test results
      - name: Publish Test Report
        uses: mikepenz/action-junit-report@v4
        if: success() || failure() # always run even if the previous step fails
        with:
          report_paths: '**/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml'

Inputs

Common Configurations

• Surefire: **/target/surefire-reports/TEST-*.xml
• sbt: **/target/test-reports/*.xml

If you observe out-of-memory errors, follow the below configuration suggestion.

[!TIP] FATAL ERROR: Reached heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

If you encounter an out-of-memory from Node, such as

FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

you can increase the memory allocation by setting an environment variable

- name: Publish Test Report
  uses: mikepenz/action-junit-report@v4
  env:
    NODE_OPTIONS: "--max_old_space_size=4096"
  if: success() || failure() # always run even if the previous step fails
  with:
    report_paths: '**/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml'

Action outputs

After action execution it will return the test counts as output.

# ${{steps.{CHANGELOG_STEP_ID}.outputs.total}}

A full set list of possible output values for this action.

PR run permissions

The action requires write permission on the checks. If the GA token is read-only (this is a repository configuration) please enable write permission via:

permissions:
  checks: write
  pull-requests: write # only required if `comment: true` was enabled

Additionally for security reasons, the github token used for pull_request workflows is marked as read-only. If you want to post checks to a PR from an external repository, you will need to use a separate workflow which has a read/write token, or use a PAT with elevated permissions.

name: build
on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build and Run Tests
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout Code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Build and Run Tests
        run: # execute your tests generating test results
      - name: Upload Test Report
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        if: always() # always run even if the previous step fails
        with:
          name: junit-test-results
          path: '**/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml'
          retention-days: 1

          commit: ${{github.event.workflow_run.head_sha}}
          report_paths: '**/build/test-results/test/TEST-*.xml'

This will securely post the check results from the privileged workflow onto the PR's checks report.
