Github Jester

Run jest tests, post the results to your commit/PR.

Versions

You can use a specific version of this action. The latest published version is v1.0.13. You can also use latest to always get the latest version.

How to use

on: push

test:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - name: Checkout latest code
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Use Node.js 12.x
      uses: actions/setup-node@v2.1.2
      with:
        node-version: 12.x
    - name: Run npm install
      run: npm install
    - name: Run tests
      uses: ospfranco/gh-jester@v1.0.13
      with:
        post-comment: true
      env:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}

Attention Do not forget to pass the GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_CONTEXT to the ospfranco/gh-jester action

Steps the example job will perform:

1. Check out the latest code
2. Use node v12
3. Run npm install
4. (this action) Run the tests, add the annotations and add a status to the commit

Usage

The action will call npm run ${command}. The ${command} can be specified by passing an input variable command to the action. It defaults to test:ci.

Your test:ci command should look like this:

test:ci: jest --testLocationInResults --ci --outputFile=test_results.json --json

It is also possible that the action posts a comment with the result to the commit. You have to set post-comment to true.

Additionally the test results get written to ./test_result/index.html. This file can be deployed to a static file server and be linked inside a status.

It is important that your trigger is push and not other triggers, since a specific SHA is used to post a comment into the commit

Example with a different command

- name: Run tests
  uses: ospfranco/gh-jester@v1.0.13
  with:
    command: 'tests'
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}

Example with posting the result as a comment

- name: Run tests
  uses: ospfranco/gh-jester@v1.0.13
  with:
    post-comment: true
  env:
    GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}
