A Github action that publishes the JaCoCo report as a comment in the Pull Request with customizable pass percentage for modified modules, files and the overall project. You can view the coverage of just the changed files in your pull request.

Create a workflow .yml file in your repositories .github/workflows directory. An example workflow is available below. For more information, reference the GitHub Help Documentation for Creating a workflow file.

• paths - [required] Comma separated paths of the generated jacoco xml files (supports wildcard glob pattern)
• token - [required] Github personal token to add commits to Pull Request
• min-coverage-overall - [optional {default: 80%}] The minimum code coverage that is required to pass for overall project
• min-coverage-changed-files - [optional {default: 80%}] The minimum code coverage that is required to pass for changed files
• update-comment - [optional {default: false}] If true, updates the previous coverage report comment instead of creating new one. Requires title to work properly
• title - [optional] Title for the Pull Request comment
• skip-if-no-changes - [optional {default: false}] If true, comment won't be added if there is no coverage information present for the files changed
• pass-emoji - [optional {default: 🍏}] Emoji to use for pass status shown when 'coverage >= min coverage' (should be a Github supported emoji).
• fail-emoji - [optional {default: ❌}] Emoji to use for fail status shown when 'coverage < min coverage' (should be a Github supported emoji).
• continue-on-error - [optional {default: true}] If true, then do not fail the action on error, but log a warning
• debug-mode - [optional {default: false}] If true, run the action in debug mode and get debug logs printed in console

• coverage-overall - The overall coverage of the project
• coverage-changed-files - The total coverage of all changed files

For a working project refer to jacoco-playgound. Check out the PR's in the project to get an idea on how the report is shown on a pull request comment. For multi module gradle project, refer jacoco-android-playground

1. If you want to fail your workflow when the minimum coverage is not met

   You can write an additional step that uses the Outputs for the jacoco-report action and fail the workflow. Refer sample pull request and its workflow

   - name: Fail PR if overall coverage is less than 80%
     if: ${{ steps.jacoco.outputs.coverage-overall < 80.0 }}
     uses: actions/github-script@v6
     with:
       script: |
         core.setFailed('Overall coverage is less than 80%!')

2. If you don't want to add the coverage comment everytime you push a commit to a pull request, but update the existing coverage comment instead

   Set the update-comment input to true and also set a title input. Refer sample pull request and its workflow

   - name: Jacoco Report to PR
     id: jacoco
     uses: madrapps/[email protected]
     with:
       paths: ${{ github.workspace }}/build/reports/jacoco/testCoverage/testCoverage.xml
       token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
       min-coverage-overall: 40
       min-coverage-changed-files: 60
       title: Code Coverage
       update-comment: true

3. If you have a multi-module project like android, with multiple modules each with its own jacoco report

   Set the paths input with wildcard glob pattern (as shown in the Example workflow). This will pick all the files matching the pattern. Ensure your pattern matches only one report per module, since for the same module, you could have debugCoverage.xml and releaseCoverage.xml. Refer sample pull request and its workflow

   - name: Jacoco Report to PR
     id: jacoco
     uses: madrapps/[email protected]
     with:
       paths: |
         ${{ github.workspace }}/**/build/reports/jacoco/**/prodNormalDebugCoverage.xml,
         ${{ github.workspace }}/**/build/reports/jacoco/**/debugCoverage.xml
       token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
       min-coverage-overall: 40
       min-coverage-changed-files: 60

4. When you need to customize the pass/fail emojis or the style of title in the comment

   Set the pass-emoji and fail-emoji to a valid emoji supported in Github. You can add # to choose the style of title from H1 to H6. If you don't choose, the default is H3. Refer sample pull request and its workflow

   - name: Jacoco Report to PR
     id: jacoco
     uses: madrapps/[email protected]
     with:
       paths: ${{ github.workspace }}/build/reports/jacoco/testCoverage/testCoverage.xml
       token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
       min-coverage-overall: 40
       min-coverage-changed-files: 60
       title: '# :lobster: Coverage Report'
       pass-emoji: ':green_circle:'
       fail-emoji: ':red_circle:'

1. If the PR is created by bots like dependabot, then the GITHUB_TOKEN won't have sufficient access to write the coverage comment. So add the appropriate permission to your job (as shown in the Example workflow). More information here.
