Quick Start

Prefer guided setup?

Ask your AI assistant to set up Actions Insights using the AI Setup Guide.

Get Actions Insights running in your workflow with sensible defaults. All four output channels are enabled except the history repository.

Minimal Workflow

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
  checks: write

jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Run tests
        run: dotnet test --logger "trx;LogFileName=results.trx"

      - name: Publish test report
        uses: mzbrau/actions-insights@v1
        with:
          test-results: '**/*.trx'

This configuration:

• Posts a PR comment with failure details (when running on a pull request)
• Writes a workflow summary with failed and slow tests
• Publishes a GitHub Check with annotations
• Uploads an HTML report as a workflow artifact

Supported Formats

Format	File patterns
TRX	*.trx
JUnit XML	*.xml (JUnit schema)
NUnit XML	*.xml (NUnit schema)
xUnit XML	*.xml (xUnit schema)

What Happens Next

After your workflow runs:

1. Open the pull request to see the test summary comment
2. Open the workflow run to see the job summary table
3. Download the actions-insights-report artifact for the full interactive HTML report

Customise Your Setup

The defaults work for most teams, but you can enable or disable individual outputs:

• Choose Your Outputs — decision guide for each output channel
• Prepare Test Output — ensure your test runner writes compatible files
• Example Workflows — common configuration patterns
