This action works in conjunction with im-open/code-coverage-report-generator. If a Summary.md file is created in the report generator action by including MarkdownSummary in the reporttypes input, this action will take the contents of that file and create a Status Check or PR Comment depending on the flags set. This action does not create code coverage reports and it only processes one summary report at a time.
The coverage status & action's conclusion can be viewed in multiple places:
- In the body of a PR comment this action generates
- Next to the name of one of the status checks under the
Checkssection of a PR - Next to the name of one of the status checks under the
Jobssection of the workflow run - In the body of a status check listed on the workflow run
If thresholds for line or branch coverage have been provided and the actual branch or line coverage does not meet or exceed the threshold, the status check will be marked as failed. Having the status check marked as failed will prevent PRs from being merged. If this status check behavior is not desired, the ignore-threshold-failures input can be set and the outcome will be marked as neutral if threshold failures are detected. The status badge that is shown in the comment or status check body will still indicate it was a failure though.
If you want the code coverage to be reported without indicating whether it was a success or failure, leave the line-threshold and branch-threshold inputs as the default 0.
There are several factors will contribute to the final disposition:
| Scenario: | ignore-threshold-failures input |
status check conclusion |
coverage-outcomeoutput |
PR Comment or Status Check Results Badge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
line-threshold:0or branch-threshold:0 |
true or false |
neutral |
Passed |
N/A |
| actualCoverage < threshold | false |
failure |
Failed |
FAILED |
| actualCoverage < threshold | true |
neutral |
Passed |
FAILED |
| actualCoverage >= threshold | true or false |
success |
Passed |
PASSED |
GitHub does have a size limitation of 65535 characters for a Status Check body or a PR Comment. This action would fail if the test results exceeded the GitHub [limit]. To mitigate this size issue, only details for failed tests are included in the output in addition to a badge, duration info and outcome info. If the comment still exceeds that size, it will be truncated with a note to see the remaining output in the log.
If you have multiple workflows triggered by the same pull_request or push event, GitHub creates one checksuite for that commit. The checksuite gets assigned to one of the workflows randomly and all status checks for that commit are reported to that checksuite. That means if there are multiple workflows with the same trigger, your status checks may show on a different workflow run than the run that created them.
This is shown on the pull request when the create-pr-comment is set to true and there is a PR associated with the commit.
This is shown on the pull request when the create-status-check is set to true and there is a PR associated with the commit.
This is shown on the workflow run when the create-status-check is set to true.
If the Code Coverage Details in the Status Check body or PR Comment are expanded a summary similar to this is shown:
| Parameter | Is Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
github-token |
true | N/A | Token used to interact with the repository. Generally secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN. |
summary-file |
true | N/A | The summary file generated by the report-generator action. |
report-name |
false | Code Coverage Results |
The desired name of the report that is shown on the PR Comment and inside the Status Check. |
create-status-check |
false | true |
Flag indicating whether a status check with code coverage results should be generated. |
check-name |
false | code coverage |
The desired name of the status check. Only applicable when create-status-check is true. |
create-pr-comment |
false | true |
Flag indicating whether a PR comment with code coverage results should be generated. When true the default behavior is to update an existing comment if one exists. |
update-comment-if-one-exists |
false | true |
This flag determines whether a new comment is created or if the action updates an existing comment (if one is found). Only applicable when create-pr-comment is true. |
update-comment-key |
false | ${{env.GITHUB-JOB}}_${{env.GITHUB-ACTION}} |
A unique identifier which will be added to the generated markdown as a comment (it will not be visible in the PR comment). This identifier enables creating then updating separate results comments on the PR if more than one instance of this action is included in a single job. This can be helpful when there are multiple coverage projects that run separately but are part of the same job. Each instance of the action should have a different key and this value should be static so it remains the same each time the workflow is run. Only applicable when create-pr-comment and update-comment-if-one-exists are true. |
ignore-threshold-failures |
false | false |
If the coverage falls below the threshold and this is set to true the status check's conclusion will be set to neutral and the coverage-outcome output will be set to Passed.This is useful if you want coverage reported but do not want a failing status check to block pull requests. |
line-threshold |
false | 0 |
Minimum threshold for line coverage. The status check conclusion will be failureand coverage-outcome will be Failed if the actual coverage amount is less than this.Set to 0 to disable line coverage checks. When 0, the status check will always be neutral and the coverage-outcome will be Passed. |
branch-threshold |
false | 0 |
Minimum threshold for branch coverage. The status check conclusion will be failureand coverage-outcome will be Failed if the actual coverage amount is less than this.Set to 0 to disable branch coverage checks. When 0, the status check will always be neutral and the coverage-outcome will be Passed. |
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
coverage-outcome |
Coverage outcome based on Threshold comparisons: Failed,Passed If exceptions are thrown or if it exits early because of argument errors, this is set to Failed. If thresholds are set to 0, this will be set to Passed. |
coverage-results-truncated |
Flag indicating whether coverage results were truncated due to markdown exceeding character limit of 65535. |
coverage-results-file-path |
File path for the file that contains the coverage results in markdown format. This is the same output that is posted in the PR comment. |
status-check-id |
The ID of the Status Check that was created. This is only set if create-status-check is true and a status check was created successfully. |
pr-comment-id |
The ID of the PR comment that was created. This is only set if create-pr-comment is true and a PR was created successfully. |

exit 1When creating PRs, please review the following guidelines:
- The action code does not contain sensitive information.
- At least one of the commit messages contains the appropriate
+semver:keywords listed under Incrementing the Version for major and minor increments. - The action has been recompiled. See Recompiling Manually for details.
- The README.md has been updated with the latest version of the action. See Updating the README.md for details.
This repo uses git-version-lite in its workflows to examine commit messages to determine whether to perform a major, minor or patch increment on merge if source code changes have been made. The following table provides the fragment that should be included in a commit message to active different increment strategies.
| Increment Type | Commit Message Fragment |
|---|---|
| major | +semver:breaking |
| major | +semver:major |
| minor | +semver:feature |
| minor | +semver:minor |
| patch | default increment type, no comment needed |
The files and directories that are considered source code are listed in the files-with-code and dirs-with-code arguments in both the build-and-review-pr and increment-version-on-merge workflows.
If a PR contains source code changes, the README.md should be updated with the latest action version and the action should be recompiled. The build-and-review-pr workflow will ensure these steps are performed when they are required. The workflow will provide instructions for completing these steps if the PR Author does not initially complete them.
If a PR consists solely of non-source code changes like changes to the README.md or workflows under ./.github/workflows, version updates and recompiles do not need to be performed.
This command utilizes esbuild to bundle the action and its dependencies into a single file located in the dist folder. If changes are made to the action's source code, the action must be recompiled by running the following command:
# Installs dependencies and bundles the code
npm run buildIf changes are made to the action's source code, the usage examples section of this file should be updated with the next version of the action. Each instance of this action should be updated. This helps users know what the latest tag is without having to navigate to the Tags page of the repository. See Incrementing the Version for details on how to determine what the next version will be or consult the first workflow run for the PR which will also calculate the next version.
