github-checks-reporter

Task wrapper that provides expressive CI feedback via GitHub checks

Usage

yarn run github-checks-reporter ${task title} ${...command and command args}

example

yarn run github-checks-reporter jest node scripts/jest

Setup

yarn add --dev github-xyz (package name will be updated)

github-checks-reporter relies on a number of environment variables in order to call the GitHub API -

Different environment variables can be used via the github_checks_api.json config file located in the project root.

Example -

{
  "appId": 26774,
  "envVars": {
    "appKey": "KIBANA_CI_REPORTER_KEY"
  }
}

How it works

github-checks-reporter takes a task title and a shell command and its arguments and:

• Creates a check via the GitHub checks API
• Executes the command
• Stores and passes along log data and exit code
• Updates the check based on the exit code, appending log data to the check
