Test with Actions

Create workflows that enable you to use Continuous Integration (CI) for your projects.

Step 3: Upload test reports

The workflow has finished running! ✨

So what do we do when we need the work product of one job in another? We can use the built-in artifact storage to save artifacts created from one job to be used in another job within the same workflow.

To upload artifacts to the artifact storage, we can use an action built by GitHub: actions/upload-artifacts.

⌨️ Activity: Upload test reports

Edit your workflow file.

Add a step to your build job that uses the upload-artifacts action.

build:
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3

    - name: Run markdown lint
      run: |
        npm install remark-cli remark-preset-lint-consistent
        npx remark . --use remark-preset-lint-consistent --frail

    - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
      with:
        name: remark-lint-report
        path: public/

Commit your change to this branch
Wait about 20 seconds then refresh this page (the one you're following instructions from). GitHub Actions will automatically update to the next step.

Similar to the upload action to send artifacts to the storage, you can use another action built by GitHub to download these previously uploaded artifacts from the build job: actions/download-artifact. To save you time, we'll skip that step for this course.
