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

Input	Description
`report_paths`	Optional. Glob expression to junit report paths. Defaults to: `*/junit-reports/TEST-.xml`.
`token`	Optional. GitHub token for creating a check run. Set to `${{ github.token }}` by default.
`test_files_prefix`	Optional. Prepends the provided prefix to test file paths within the report when annotating on GitHub.
`exclude_sources`	Optional. Provide `,` seperated array of folders to ignore for source lookup. Defaults to: `/build/,/__pycache__/`
`check_name`	Optional. Check name to use when creating a check run. The default is `JUnit Test Report`.
`suite_regex`	REMOVED (as of v5). Instead use `check_title_template` and configure: `{{BREAD_CRUMB}}{{SUITE_NAME}}/{{TEST_NAME}}`
`commit`	Optional. The commit SHA to update the status. This is useful when you run it with `workflow_run`.
`fail_on_failure`	Optional. Fail the build in case of a test failure.
`require_tests`	Optional. Fail if no test are found.
`require_passed_tests`	Optional. Fail if no passed test are found. (This is stricter than `require_tests`, which accepts skipped tests).
`include_passed`	Optional. By default the action will skip passed items for the annotations. Enable this flag to include them.
`check_retries`	Optional. If a testcase is retried, ignore the original failure.
`check_title_template`	Optional. Template to configure the title format. Placeholders: {{FILE_NAME}}, {{SUITE_NAME}}, {{TEST_NAME}}, {{CLASS_NAME}}, {{BREAD_CRUMB}}.
`bread_crumb_delimiter`	Optional. Defines the delimiter characters between the breadcrumb elements. Defaults to: `/`.
`summary`	Optional. Additional text to summary output
`check_annotations`	Optional. Defines if the checks will include annotations. If disabled skips all annotations for the check. (This does not affect `annotate_only`, which uses no checks).
`update_check`	Optional. Uses an alternative API to update checks, use for cases with more than 50 annotations. Default: `false`.
`annotate_only`	Optional. Will only annotate the results on the files, won't create a check run. Defaults to `false`.
`transformers`	Optional. Array of `Transformer`s offering the ability to adjust the fileName. Defaults to: `[{"searchValue":"::","replaceValue":"/"}]`
`job_summary`	Optional. Enables the publishing of the job summary for the results. Defaults to `true`. May be required to disable Enterprise Server
`detailed_summary`	Optional. Include table with all test results in the summary. Defaults to `false`.
`flaky_summary`	Optional. Include table with all falky results in the summary. Defaults to `false`.
`comment`	Optional. Enables a comment being added to the PR with the summary tables (Respects the summary configuration flags). Defaults to `false`.
`updateComment`	Optional. If a prior action run comment exists, it is updated. If disabled, new comments are creted for each run. Defaults to `true`.
`annotate_notice`	Optional. Annotate passed test results along with warning/failed ones. Defaults to `false`. (Changed in v3.5.0)
`follow_symlink`	Optional. Enables to follow symlinks when searching test files via the globber. Defaults to `false`.
`job_name`	Optional. Specify the name of a check to update
`annotations_limit`	Optional. Specify the limit for annotations. This will also interrupt parsing all test-suites if the limit is reached. Defaults to: `No Limit`.

Common Configurations

Common report_paths

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

Increase Node Heap 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.

Output	Description
`outputs.total`	The total number of test cases covered by this test-step.
`outputs.passed`	The number of passed test cases.
`outputs.skipped`	The number of skipped test cases.
`outputs.failed`	The number of failed test cases.
`outputs.summary`	The short summary of the junit report. In html format (as also constructed by GitHub for the summary).
`outputs.detailed_summary`	The full table with all test results in a summary. In html format (as also constructed by GitHub for the summary).
`outputs.flaky_summary`	The full table with all flaky results in a summary. In html format (as also constructed by GitHub for the summary).

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.

Example

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

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Download Test Report
        uses: dawidd6/action-download-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: junit-test-results
          workflow: ${{ github.event.workflow.id }}
          run_id: ${{ github.event.workflow_run.id }}
      - name: Publish Test Report
        uses: mikepenz/action-junit-report@v3
        with:
          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.
