HTML Artifact

Actions Insights generates a standalone, responsive, interactive HTML report and uploads it as a workflow artifact. The report mirrors the history dashboard’s single-run view (Summary, All Tests, Test Coverage, and Build tabs when data is available) and embeds test trends, coverage, and build details so it opens in the browser without sidecar files.

When to Enable

Enable the HTML artifact when you need:

• Deep investigation beyond what fits in a PR comment
• Offline review of test results (self-contained HTML — no trends.json required)
• Per-branch test history across workflow runs
• Sharing reports with stakeholders who do not have PR access

Configuration

HTML artifact upload is enabled by default (upload-html-report: true).

- uses: mzbrau/actions-insights@v1
  with:
    test-results: '**/*.{trx,xml,json}'
    upload-html-report: true
    include-raw-test-results: true
    artifact-retention-days: 30
    history: 20
    retain-days: 30
    theme: auto

To disable raw file bundling:

with:
  include-raw-test-results: false

To disable:

with:
  upload-html-report: false

Accessing the Report

PR comments, the workflow job summary, and the artifact-url output link directly to the unzipped HTML artifact. Click Report to open the interactive report in your browser (GitHub login required).

Each run uploads two artifacts:

Artifact	Format	Contents
actions-insights-report-{commit-sha}.html	Unzipped HTML	Self-contained interactive report (opens in browser)
actions-insights-report-{commit-sha}	Zip	report.html, trends.json, and optional raw/ files

The unzipped HTML embeds run data, trends, coverage, and build diagnostics/timing. Opening the Report link shows the full interactive report with no extra download.

To download files for offline use:

1. Open the workflow run on GitHub
2. Scroll to Artifacts
3. Download either artifact above

Report tabs

Tab	Contents
Summary	KPIs, outcome distribution, coverage bars, failed tests (with Instructions for an AI agent prompt and per-test name copy), slow tests
All Tests	Searchable/filterable test list with per-test history from embedded trends and copy-full-name buttons
Test Coverage	Shown when coverage is present — project → file → method drill-down
Build	Shown when diagnostics and/or workflow timing are present

Artifact Contents (zipped bundle)

Path	Description
report.html	Interactive HTML report (same self-contained file as the unzipped artifact)
trends.json	Sidecar copy of branch history and per-test trends (also embedded in the HTML)
raw/	Original test result files from the workflow
raw/manifest.json	Index of raw files with source paths and parse status

The artifact also includes a raw/ folder with the original test result files (TRX, XML, JSON, etc.) that matched your test-results glob, plus raw/manifest.json mapping artifact paths back to the workspace paths. Use these when you need the unprocessed output.

History Across Runs

Report history is preserved via Actions cache. Each run merges into the cached site tree, prunes old runs per history and retain-days, and re-uploads the complete site.

For persistent, org-wide history across repositories, see History Repository.

Key Inputs

Input	Default	Description
upload-html-report	true	Upload HTML report artifact

artifact-retention-days	30	Artifact retention on GitHub
history	20	Max historical runs per branch/PR
retain-days	30	Max age for historical runs
theme	auto	light, dark, or auto
