Structured output for ExUnit tests in GitHub actions

Questions / Help

Is anyone using any sort of tool to produce machine readable output from exunit when using GitHub actions?

In the past with CircleCI I’ve used GitHub - victorolinasc/junit-formatter: A JUnit XML report exporter for Elixir's ExUnit since CircleCI can natively parse the junit output format. However GitHub actions doens’t natively support the junit format as far as I can tell.

So I’ve tried to use GitHub - mikepenz/action-junit-report: Reports junit test results as GitHub Pull Request Check but the results are sub-par, the errors are duplicated and the generated links don’t work.

Has anyone else dealt with this before?

I can take a look. Seems like nice addition to mix_machine.

Thanks, that would be great if mix_machine supported this. It would be one less dependency needed in my CI setup :tada:

@axelson @hauleth I was looking into doing something like this and wondered if you’ve found/done anything new since then?

I came across this post again recently and I’ve found that GitHub - erlef/setup-beam: Set up your BEAM-based GitHub Actions workflow (Erlang, Elixir, Gleam, ...) now includes good machine readable output (or at least enough that I don’t feel a need to look for other additions).
