Hello,
Has anyone created a GitHub action/app for kotlinx-kover?

[Javier]

What is the benefit of having an action over running the tasks directly?

[ptsiogas]

It would be nice to display the kover report in a PR automatically

[Javier]

You can use the report with other platforms like codecov or sonarqube

[Javier]

sadly it is not working for everyone

[Javier]

at least sonarqube, I haven't tried codecov

[Javier]

if try kover with it, share feedback here :)

[ptsiogas]

That’s true, but it’s nice to have alternatives

[ptsiogas]

Something like that, but for kover xml file report, would be a nice

[Javier]

Personally I would prefer to know if the coverage is lower or higher than before

[ptsiogas]

and that too

[ptsiogas]

this is also good but it does not support the Intellij Coverage Report xml yet.

Hello you do not need a GitHub app for that, you will need the app for the tool that you want to use
ie. you can use kover to generate reports and upload it with other app, like codecov, codacy etc.

example:
https://github.com/Oztechan/CCC/blob/develop/.github/workflows/main.yml#L65-L75

these 2 steps uploads my covarage reports generated with kover into Codecov and Codacy, as you can see apps are belongs to 3rd party services

meanwhile the kover job that generates those reports is depend on build job so no need to that one more time

[ptsiogas]

Neat solution but I am trying to make it work without tools like Codacy as a PoC.

[Javier]

@Mustafa Ozhan have you got it working with Sonarqube?

[Mustafa Ozhan]

nope, I mean I din’t try. I use Codecov and Codacy but should be the same once you got the reports

[Mustafa Ozhan]

the key point here is Kover don’t merge the reports (for now, i created issue for that), so any tool can accept seperate reports can view it

[Javier]

sadly I can't get it working with sonarqube (or sonarcloud)

[Javier]

I haven't tried codecov or codacy, don't remember but one of them was failing for me when I was omitting common package directories

[Javier]

I am unable to get it working with codacy, probably because the missing common package folders?

[Javier]

yep, the problem was that...

[Javier]

KMP is generating an empty report for me
