Test Reporting (GitHub Action)

A GitHub Action for uploading D2L format test reports to back-end visualization and querying infrastructure. This action is meant to be used in conjunction with reporters from node reporters.

Note

If you have any questions, concerns or just want to chat feel free to reach out in #test-reporting (D2L employee accessible only).

Set-Up

In order for your repository to be able to submit test report you must first enable the test_reporting option for you repository in repo-settings (D2L employee accessible only). This will give your repository access to have the GitHub Action submit test reporting data to the framework.

Caution

Without this set-up you will see errors about being unable to assume required role in the GitHub Action logs and the action will fail to run.

Usage

- name: Upload test report
  uses: Brightspace/test-reporting-action@main
  if: failure() || success()
  with:
    aws-access-key-id: ${{secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}}
    aws-secret-access-key: ${{secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}}
    aws-session-token: ${{secrets.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN}}

Important

This action assumes a report, conforming to the D2L report schema, has already been generated using a given test framework reporter or manually. For available reporters please see node reporters.

Note

If using this action in a workflow triggered by a pull_request please see information about dependabot below.

Inputs

• aws-access-key-id (required): Specifies an AWS access key associated with an IAM account.
• aws-secret-access-key (required): Specifies the secret key associated with the access key. This is essentially the "password" for the access key.
• aws-access-key-id (required): Specifies an AWS access key associated with an IAM account.
• role-to-assume (see below): The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role to assume.
• report-path (default: ./d2l-test-report.json): Path to report D2L format test report JSON file.
• lms-build-number: The LMS build number of the site used to generate this report. Will throw an error if provided and already present in the report.
• lms-instance-url: The LMS instance URL of the site used to generate this report. Will throw an error if provided and already present in the report.
• inject-github-context (default: auto): Change mode for injection of GitHub Actions context at report submission time.
  • auto: Injects GitHub Actions context into report if missing
  • force: Injects GitHub Actions context into report always
  • off: Will not inject GitHub Actions context into report even if missing, can result in validation failure if not present
• dry-run (default: false): Enable or disable dry run mode. Will perform all operations except final submission of report data to backend. Only really useful for debugging and testing.
• debug (default: false): Enable or disable debug mode. Will enable additional log messages. Does not stop final submission of report data to backend. Only really useful for debugging and testing.

Authentication

By default this action assumes you are using the default setup for sending to test reporting via repo-settings (D2L employee accessible only) which means it will infer the role to assume based on your repository information. There is really no reason to change this but it has been exposed via role-to-assume in the rare case we need them in the future. As long as you've followed the instructions outlined in repo-settings (D2L employee accessible only) this should work as expected.

Dependabot

If you are using this action in a context where dependabot can be a possible actor then you must skip this actions step as secrets may not be available. This would look something like this.

- name: Upload test report
  uses: Brightspace/test-reporting-action@main
  if: >
    (failure() || success()) &&
    github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]'
  with:
    aws-access-key-id: ${{secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID}}
    aws-secret-access-key: ${{secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY}}
    aws-session-token: ${{secrets.AWS_SESSION_TOKEN}}
