Maybe, need to think about this one..
I got around this by outputting to a JSON file and then parsing that. See the example here:
Which maintains the followed output in the CI, but the summary ignores that.
Yes, that was my workaround :) But pretty sure you're also not happy about this one :D
Ye, not ideal.
Would it make sense to exclude the -follow output from the generated -format to avoid this issue?
I don't think that'll work, or maybe I'm missing something.
The test output is piped to tparse
, it's internally parsed and written out to standard out immediately with -follow
. Then that go non-json test output is appended to the Github summary file along with the tables at the end.
Given both -follow
and >>
I don't see how we can separate the output from ending up in .
One solution I thought was adding a flag -github-summary
flag and instead of you adding a >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
.. tparse would write out to that file instead.
IMHO what could work is that tparse
would ignore "Action":"output"
when sending the buffer to $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
?
What if instead of writing out to >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
, there was instead an -output
flag.
go test ... | tparse ... -format=markdown -output=$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
This option points to a file, such as $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
, and writes the markdown content (excluding output) to that file.
I could see this being useful outside of just github summary steps.
So $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
would be a magic file name then or is this already an env in Github CI which resolves to a particular file name? (haven't looked deeper into that var)
Yep, $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
resolves to a path on the runner for each step in a job. The path is something like this:
/home/runner/work/_temp/_runner_file_commands/step_summary_093735d6-8c78-4a6c-b4af-e9a7298a5e60
I think this might work, will give this a go once I find some cycles.
Why not send test all "Action":"output"
lines to tparse's stderr? That way, the user can expect colored/markdown output on stdout and test output on stderr.
-follow
is a very useful option. However, when using it in conjunction with-format markdown
and>> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY
to create nice job summaries, the output is of course not as expected.Would it make sense to exclude the
-follow
output from the generated-format
to avoid this issue?
