02_04 CI for Python

Permissions for Checks

Permissions are needed to update the Actions interface. Permissions can be added under the job section for a specific job, or at the top of a workflow so all jobs assume the permission.

jobs:
    build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        permissions:
            checks: write

JUnit Reporting

Tests can be updated to include JUnit reports.

Actions can be added to publish JUnit reports to the Actions user interface.

For example, a standard call to pytest can be modified from:

- name: Test with pytest
  run: |
    pytest

to:

- name: Test with pytest
  run: |
    python -m pytest --verbose --junit-xml=junit.xml
- name: Publish Test Report
  uses: mikepenz/action-junit-report@v3
  if: success() || failure() # always run even if the previous step fails
  with:
    report_paths: '**/junit.xml'
    detailed_summary: true
    include_passed: true
