Jest Coverage Comment

This action comments a pull request or commit with a HTML test coverage report. The report is based on the coverage report generated by your jest test runner. Note that this action does not run any tests, but expects the tests to have been run by another action already (npx jest).

You can add this action to your GitHub workflow for Ubuntu runners (e.g. runs-on: ubuntu-latest) as follows:

- name: Jest coverage comment
  uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main

Example usage

The following is an example GitHub Action workflow that uses the Jest Coverage Comment to extract the coverage summary to comment at pull request:

# This workflow will install dependencies, create coverage tests and run Jest Coverage Comment
# For more information see: https://github.com/MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment/
name: Jest coverage comment
on:
  pull_request:
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Run tests
        run: |
          npx jest --coverage --config='{ "coverageReporters": ["json-summary"] }'

      - name: Jest coverage comment
        uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main

Example GitHub Action workflow that uses coverage percentage as output and update badge on Readme.md without commits to repo (see the live workflow)

name: Update Coverage on Readme
on:
  push:

jobs:
  update-coverage-on-readme:
    name: Update Coverage on Readme
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Jest coverage comment
        id: coverageComment
        uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main
        with:
          hide-comment: true
          coverage-summary-path: ./coverage/coverage-summary.json

      - name: Check the output coverage
        run: |
          echo "Coverage Percantage - ${{ steps.coverageComment.outputs.coverage }}"
          echo "Coverage Color - ${{ steps.coverageComment.outputs.color }}"
          echo "Summary Html - ${{ steps.coverageComment.outputs.summaryHtml }}"

      - name: Create the Badge
            if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }}
        uses: schneegans/[email protected]
        with:

Example GitHub Action workflow that passes all params to Jest Coverage Comment

- name: Jest coverage comment
  uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main
  with:
    coverage-summary-path: ./coverage/coverage-summary.json
    title: My Jest Coverage Comment
    summary-title: My Summary Title
    badge-title: Coverage
    hide-comment: false
    create-new-comment: false
    hide-summary: false
    junitxml-title: My Junit Title
    junitxml-path: ./coverage/junit.xml
    coverage-title: My Coverage Title
    coverage-path: ./coverage.txt

Example GitHub Action workflow that generate Junit report from junit.xml

you should install jest-junit package, and add the following entry in your jest config jest.config.js:

{
  "reporters": ["default", "jest-junit"]
}

or you can provide it directly to jest like jest --reporters=default --reporters=jest-junit

- name: Jest coverage comment
  uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main
  with:
    junitxml-path: ./junit.xml
    junitxml-title: Junit

Summary Report

Generated from json-summary

- name: Run tests
  run: |
    npx jest --coverage --reporters=default --reporters=jest-junit'

- name: Jest coverage comment
  uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main
  with:
    coverage-summary-path: ./coverage/coverage-summary.json

Coverage Report

Generated from jest output by writing the output to file | tee ./coverage.txt The nice thing, is that will link all your files inside that commit and ability to click by missing lines and go inside file directly to missing lines

- name: Run tests
  run: |
    npx jest --coverage | tee ./coverage.txt

- name: Jest coverage comment
  uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main
  with:
    coverage-path: ./coverage.txt

Junit Report

Generated from junit.xml by jest-junit

- name: Run tests
  run: |
    npx jest --coverage --config='{ "coverageReporters": ["json-summary"] }'

- name: Jest coverage comment
  uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main
  with:
    junitxml-path: ./junit.xml

Example GitHub Action workflow that will update your README.md with coverage summary, only on merge to main branch All you need is to add in your README.md the following lines wherever you want. If your coverage summary report will not change, it wouldn't push any changes to readme file.

<!-- Jest Coverage Comment:Begin -->
<!-- Jest Coverage Comment:End -->

name: Update Coverage on Readme
on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main
jobs:
  update-coverage-on-readme:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          persist-credentials: false # otherwise, the token used is the GITHUB_TOKEN, instead of your personal token
          fetch-depth: 0 # otherwise, you will failed to push refs to dest repo

      - name: Jest coverage comment
        if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' }}
        id: coverageComment
        uses: MishaKav/jest-coverage-comment@main

          sed -i '/<!-- Jest Coverage Comment:Begin -->/,/<!-- Jest Coverage Comment:End -->/c\<!-- Jest Coverage Comment:Begin -->\n\${{ steps.coverageComment.outputs.summaryHtml }}\n<!-- Jest Coverage Comment:End -->' ./README.md

      - name: Commit & Push changes to Readme
