Dotnet Test Reporter

May 11, 2026 · View on GitHub

A GitHub action to parse test & coverage results and post them as a PR comment.

The action can process dotnet test results (a single or multiple .trx files), if there are any failing tests the action will fail. This allows integrating the action into your CI pipeline to short circuit and prevent further build/deploy operations as well as merging the code that caused tests to fail.
Optionally, test coverage can also be provided (a single opencover or cobertura .xml file) as well as a minimum coverage percentage threshold. If the threshold is provided and the coverage is not sufficient the action will also fail.
The action generates a workflow summary - a more detailed overview of processed tests and test coverage. For your convenience you can see the summary by following the link in the comment.
The action allows many configurations to suit your needs, please visit the Inputs and Examples sections.

Tip

Despite this action was created specifically for dotnet you can use it with other languages and frameworks as long as you can generate .trx files. For example, your project can be a C#/dotnet backend with a TS/react frontend, in that case you would use the action twice. So if the frontend uses jest to run your tests, you can do this:

install jest-trx-results-processor package to generate .trx test result files
add cobertura to coverageReporters array and set coverage-type input to cobertura, in case you would like to include a coverage

Inputs

You can customize how the action works using one of the many inputs provided in the table below

Input	Required	Type	Default	Description
github-token	yes	string		GitHub repository token Example: `${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}`
results-path	yes	string		Path to the `.trx` file(s) containing test results. Supports glob patterns Examples: `./TestResults/result.trx` `./*/.trx`
coverage-path	no	string	''	Path to the file containing test coverage. Supports glob patterns Examples: `./TestResults/coverage.xml` `./**/coverage.xml`
coverage-type	no	string	opencover	Coverage file type. Supported types are `opencover` and `cobertura` Example: `cobertura`
coverage-threshold	no	decimal	0.00	Minimum allowed coverage. You can provide a coverage percentage ranging from `0.00` to `100.00` Example: `80.42`
comment-title	no	string	Test Results	Pull Request comment title Example: `My Custom Title`
post-new-comment	no	boolean	false	Set to `true` to post a new comment after each run Set to `false` or leave blank to only update an existing comment
allow-failed-tests	no	boolean	false	Set to `true` to prevent failed tests from failing the job Set to `false` or leave blank to fail the job if there are any failed tests
show-failed-tests-only	no	boolean	false	Set to `true` to show only the failed tests. This is useful if you have many tests and the results exceed the markdown comment limit in github Set to `false` or leave blank to show all the test results
show-test-output	no	boolean	true	Set to `true` or leave blank to show the output of the tests Set to `false` if there is too much output leading to truncation of the summary
pull-request-check	no	boolean	false	Set to `true` to create GitHub status checks on the commit/PR for test results. These checks appear in the PR's "Checks" tab and can be used in branch protection rules Set to `false` or leave blank to skip creating status checks
pull-request-check-name	no	string	Test Results	Name of the GitHub status check for test results. Only used when `pull-request-check` is set to `true` Example: `My Custom Test Check`
changed-files-and-line-numbers	no	json	[]	JSON array of changed files and lines numbers Example: `'[{"name":"MyProject\\MyClass.cs","lineNumbers":[17,18,19]}]'`
server-url	no	string	''	GitHub server URL. This is useful if you are using GitHub Enterprise Server Example: `${{ github.server_url }}`
