trx-parser 🧹

This Action was inspired by https://github.com/zyborg/dotnet-tests-report

This GitHub Action provides a way of parsing dotnet test results from trx files in a given directory. The action will find trx files specified in the TRX-PATH input variable. This path must be accessible to the action.

It will read each individual .trx file. Loads up its data and converts it to a typed json object to make it easier to traverse through the data. For each TRX, it will create a Github Status check and generate a markup report for each trx. The report name and title are derived from the trx file using the data.TestRun.TestDefinitions.UnitTest[0]._storage

Reports

The following reports show a failing and a passing check generated by this action.

name: Test
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  Build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # Replace this whichever way you build your code
      - name: Build & Test dotnet code
        run: |
          dotnet restore
          dotnet build -c Release no-restore
          dotnet test -c Release --no-restore --no-build --loger trx --results-directory ./TestResults
      # Using the trx-parser action
      - name: Parse Trx files
        uses: NasAmin/trx-parser@v0.1
        id: trx-parser
        with:

          REPO_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

⚠️ GitHub Actions Limitations ⚠️

The GitHub Checks API has a limit of 65535 characters. So if the test report exceeds this limit, GitHub will fail to create a check and fail your workflow. This was mitigated on #103 and #138 to only report details about failing tests.
If you have multiple workflows triggered by the same event, currently GitHub Actions will randomly associate a check run to one of the workflows. This is because currently there is no Check Suite API. Only GitHub apps are allowed to create a Check Suite. There is also no way to associate a custom check run with an existing check suite. GitHub actions automatically creates a check suite for each workflow run. However, since check runs are associated with a commit and event, any custom check runs are randomly linked under one of the triggered workflows for the same commit.
