Integrating Qt Test and GitHub Actions

VRonin

If anyone is interested I set up an example project to integrate test reporting of Qt Tests in Github Actions.
Github Actions doesn't have a native test reporting system so what this example does is, in case of a test failure, it creates an archive artifact containing the raw xml test results, a combined xml file you can fee into any system that is compatible with the junit format as well as a pretty-formatted html report
The repository can be found here you can check the latest workflow for an example of the output.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

I have tried immediately. Unfortunately it is the first that I seriously try CMake. I have updated in teh meantime to most recent CMake as installable through maintenanceTool.

Now probably a really stupid question. Is nmake required as well?

Here is the output under "general messages" when trying to run CMake

On windows CMake defaults to nmake generator regardless of the compiler used. You need to pass -G"MinGW Makefiles" as an additional argument to tell it to use MinGW (or set the generator to MinGW Makefiles in the settings of Qt Creator tools-Options->kits->select the kit->CMake Generator)
