GitHub Actions: Place to store Build/Test Results

[fostfox]

Hello every one! This question may seems very special...

Anyone with experience with GitHub Actions: how and where do you store Test reports for PR Build?
For example: We would like to use GitHub Actions in our Team for Build and Auto-Test our PR's.
Our Auto-tests produced some reports (ex. HTML pages). We would like to store those reports and 'attach' them for PR "BuildAndTest" report.

Has anyone faced with such challenge? In which direction did you search?

Thank you!

There is a long thread on the community forum here with some options, both in GitHub itself and something from a third party.

One way to include the results is by using this action for example.

I use the upload-artifact action to upload the build artifacts to the workflow. It is not directly linked to the PR though and also subject to retention policy.

Yes. So, GitHub Artifacts using actions/upload-artifact@main is the way to go if you want to stay simple and download the test result as files, like this:

However, if you want to visualize it through a website, you can possible push this to a database of some sort in cloud environment, and build some custom web application to read the data and to display the data through a website. There are also number of different log/monitoring based plugins that are available like Elastic, Logflare, so you can push your data there.
