             Summary: GitHub Action Workflows could better report test results and summaries
                 Key: NIFI-12337
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-12337
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Chris Sampson
             Fix For: 2.latest


Several of the GitHub Action Workflows produce {{JUnit}} XML result output files through {{surefire}} and {{failsafe}} plugins. These are currently uploaded as raw logs/XML files for people to download from GitHub, but it should be possible to upload these results as {{checks}} within GitHub instead, which would be easier for people to consume and understand what tests are failing in their PRs.

One possible action to use would be [test-reporter|https://github.com/marketplace/actions/test-reporter], although an attempt to use this in NIFI-12177 as part of the new {{integration-tests}} Workflow failed because it seems we're unable to {{write}} to the GitHub repo (even with {code:yaml}permissions.checks: write{code} set within the Workflow definition). This might be an intentional setting, and could require discussion with the ASF Infrastructure team to understand whether this is/could be permitted.
