Github - Building C#.net application using github actions.

 

Setup:

Assuming you have the solution with class library and test project using xunit. Make sure the following packages are included in the test project.

The below yaml builds, tests and generate the code coverage report.

name: .NET
on:
  push:
    branches: [ "master" ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ "master" ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Setup .NET
      uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v3
      with:
        dotnet-version: 6.0.x
    - name: Restore dependencies
      run: dotnet restore
    - name: Build
      run: dotnet build --no-restore
    - name: Test
      run: dotnet test --no-build --verbosity normal --collect:"XPlat Code Coverage" --logger trx --results-directory coverage 

    - name: ReportGenerator
      uses: danielpalme/ReportGenerator-GitHub-Action@5.1.10
      with:
        reports: coverage/*/coverage.cobertura.xml
        targetdir: CoverageReport 
        reporttypes: Html;Cobertura

    - name: Code Coverage Summary Report
      uses: irongut/CodeCoverageSummary@v1.3.0
      with:
        filename: CoverageReport/Cobertura.xml
        badge: true
        format: 'markdown'
        output: 'both'
        fail_below_min: true
        thresholds: '80 90'
   
    - name: Write to Job Summary
      run: cat code-coverage-results.md >> $GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY

As you can see the above yaml, Code coverage summary step generates the report and below step as the summary to build summary.

The below step generates the summary report.

    - name: Code Coverage Summary Report
      uses: irongut/CodeCoverageSummary@v1.3.0
      with:
        filename: CoverageReport/Cobertura.xml
        badge: true
        format: 'markdown'
        output: 'both'
        fail_below_min: true
        thresholds: '80 90'

In the above step, the highlighted text indicates, it fails the step if the coverage drops down to 80%
