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 |

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 |

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 |

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@v5
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'
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). |
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.

checks:
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@v5
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.
In environments that do not allow checks: write
, the action can be configured to leverage the annotate_only option.
Example
name: pr
on:
pull_request:
jobs:
unit_test:
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: Write out Unit Test report annotation for forked repo
if: ${{ failure() && (github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name != github.repository) }}
uses: mikepenz/action-junit-report@v5
with:
annotate_only: true # forked repo cannot write to checks so just do annotations
This will selectively use different methods for forked and unforked repos.
# Install the dependencies
$ npm install
# Verify lint is happy
$ npm run lint -- --fix
# Build the typescript and package it for distribution
$ npm run build && npm run package
# Run the tests, use to debug, and test it out
$ npm test
