Create an issue for failed tests from a pytest-reportlog file or update an existing one if it already exists.

How this works:

1. pytest-reportlog writes a complete and machine-readable log of failed tests.
2. The action extracts the failed tests and creates a report while making sure that it fits into the character limits of github issue forms.
3. The action looks for existing open issues with the configured title and label a. if one exists: replace the old description with the report b. if there is none: open a new issue and insert the report

To use the issue-from-pytest-log action in workflows, simply add a new step:

jobs:
  my-job:
    ...
    strategy:
      fail-fast: false
      ...

    permissions:
      issues: write

    ...

    - uses: actions/setup-python@v4
      with:
        python-version: "3.12"
        cache: pip

    ...

    - run: |
        pip install --upgrade pytest-reportlog

    ...

    - run: |
        pytest --report-log pytest-log.jsonl

    ...

    - uses: scientific-python/issue-from-pytest-log-action@main
      if: |
        failure()
        && ...
      with:
        log-path: pytest-log.jsonl

See this repository for example issues. For more realistic examples, see

• xarray (workflow, example issue)
• dask (workflow, example issue)

required.

Use log-path to specify where the output of pytest-reportlog is.

optional. Default: ⚠️ Nightly upstream-dev CI failed ⚠️

In case you don't like the default title for new issues, this setting can be used to set a different one:

- uses: scientific-python/issue-from-pytest-log-action@main
  with:
    log-path: pytest-log.jsonl
    issue-title: "Nightly CI failed"

The title can also be parametrized, in which case a separate issue will be opened for each variation of the title.

optional. Default: CI

The label to set on the new issue.

- uses: scientific-python/issue-from-pytest-log-action@main
  with:
    log-path: pytest-log.jsonl
    issue-label: "CI"

optional

Any assignees to set on the new issue:

- uses: scientific-python/issue-from-pytest-log-action@main
  with:
    log-path: pytest-log.jsonl
    assignees: ["user1", "user2"]

Note that assignees must have the commit bit on the repository.
