Reloaded Rust Test and Coverage GitHub Action

This GitHub Action allows you to easily run tests for your Rust library and upload the coverage results to Codecov. It supports various configurations, including specifying the Rust toolchain, target platform, features, and more.

Features

• 🦀 Test your Rust library using cargo or cross
• 📊 Generate coverage reports using Tarpaulin (only when using cargo)
• 📤 Upload coverage results to Codecov (only when using cargo)
• 🛠️ Customize Rust toolchain and target platform
• 📦 Enable or disable default features
• 🔧 Specify additional features to test with
• 💾 Optional Rust toolchain caching for faster builds
• 🎛️ Pass additional arguments to the cargo test command

Usage

To use this action in your GitHub workflow, add the following step:

- name: Run Tests and Upload Coverage
  uses: Reloaded-Project/devops-rust-test-and-coverage@v1
  with:
    rust-project-path: '.'
    rust-toolchain: 'stable'
    target: 'x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'
    install-rust-toolchain: true
    setup-rust-cache: true
    upload-coverage: true
    codecov-token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}
    codecov-flags: 'unittests'
    codecov-name: 'codecov-umbrella'
    features: 'feature1 feature2'
    no-default-features: false
    use-cross: false
    additional-test-args: '--ignored --test-threads=1'

Inputs

Input	Description	Required	Default
rust-project-path	Path to the Rust project	No	'.'
rust-toolchain	Rust toolchain to use for building and testing (e.g., stable, nightly)	No	'stable'
target	The target platform for the Rust compiler	No	''
install-rust-toolchain	Whether to install the specified Rust toolchain	No	true
setup-rust-cache	Whether to set up Rust caching	No	true
upload-coverage	Whether to upload coverage to Codecov (only when using cargo)	No	true
codecov-token	Codecov token for uploading coverage	No	N/A
codecov-flags	Flags to pass to Codecov	No	'unittests'
codecov-name	Custom defined name for the upload	No	'codecov-umbrella'
features	Space-separated list of features to enable during testing	No	''
no-default-features	Disable default features during testing	No	false
use-cross	Use cross-rs for testing. If false, use cargo. Code coverage is skipped when using cross.	No	false
additional-test-args	Additional arguments to pass to the cargo test command	No	''

Example Workflow

Here's an example workflow that uses this action with a matrix of configurations:

name: Test and Coverage

on: [push]

jobs:
  test_and_coverage:
    strategy:
      matrix:
        include:
          - os: ubuntu-latest
            target: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
            use-cross: false
          - os: ubuntu-latest 
            target: i686-unknown-linux-gnu
            use-cross: false
          - os: ubuntu-latest
            target: aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
            use-cross: true
          - os: ubuntu-latest
            target: armv7-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
            use-cross: true
    runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run Tests and Upload Coverage
        uses: Reloaded-Project/devops-rust-test-and-coverage@v1
        with:
          codecov-token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}
          features: 'feature1 feature2'
          no-default-features: true
          use-cross: ${{ matrix.use-cross }}
          target: ${{ matrix.target }}

This workflow runs on every push and performs the following steps:

1. Checks out the repository
2. Runs the tests using cargo or cross based on the matrix configuration
3. Generates a coverage report using Tarpaulin (only when using cargo)
4. Uploads the coverage report to Codecov (only when using cargo)

Note: Code coverage is skipped when using cross due to incompatibility with Tarpaulin.

Workflow for Binary Projects

This action is designed for Rust libraries without binary artifacts.

If you're working on a project with binary artifacts, consider using devops-rust-lightweight-binary, instead, which will invoke this action as part of its workflow if tests are enabled.
