Code Coverage Summary

A GitHub Action that reads Cobertura format code coverage files from your test suite and outputs a text or markdown summary. This summary can be posted as a Pull Request comment or included in Release Notes by other actions to give you an immediate insight into the health of your code without using a third-party site.

Code Coverage Summary is designed for use with Coverlet and gcovr but it should work with any test framework that outputs coverage in Cobertura format.

As a Docker based action Code Coverage Summary requires a Linux runner, see Types of Action. If you need to build with a Windows or MacOS runner a workaround would be to upload the coverage file as an artifact and use a separate job with a Linux runner to generate the summary.

Inputs

filename

Required

Code coverage file to analyse.

Note: Coverlet creates the coverage file in a random named directory (guid) so you need to copy it to a predictable path before running this Action, see the .Net 5 Workflow Example below.

badge

Include a badge reporting the Line Rate coverage in the output using shields.io - true or false (default).

Line Rate	Badge
less than lower threshold (50%)
between thresholds (50% - 74%)
equal or greater than upper threshold (75%)

See thresholds to change these values.

fail_below_min

Fail the workflow if the overall Line Rate is below lower threshold - true or false (default). The default lower threshold is 50%, see thresholds.

format

Output Format - markdown or text (default).

indicators

Include health indicators in the output - true (default) or false.

Line Rate	Indicator
less than lower threshold (50%)	❌
between thresholds (50% - 74%)	➖
equal or greater than upper threshold (75%)	✔

See thresholds to change these values.

output

Output Type - console (default), file or both.

console will output the coverage summary to the GitHub Action log.

file will output the coverage summary to code-coverage-results.txt for text or code-coverage-results.md for markdown format in the workflow's working directory.

both will output the coverage summary to the Action log and a file as above.

thresholds

Lower and upper threshold percentages for badge and health indicators, lower threshold can also be used to fail the action. Separate the values with a space and enclose them in quotes; default '50 75'.

Outputs

Text Example

https://img.shields.io/badge/Code%20Coverage-83%25-success?style=flat

Company.Example: Line Rate = 83%, Branch Rate = 69%, Complexity = 671, ✔
Company.Example.Library: Line Rate = 27%, Branch Rate = 100%, Complexity = 11, ❌
Summary: Line Rate = 83% (1212 / 1460), Branch Rate = 69% (262 / 378), Complexity = 682, ✔
Minimum allowed line rate is 50%
