BuildPulse Test Reporter Action

GitHub Action that uploads test results from your CI pipeline to BuildPulse for flaky test detection and ranking.

Quick Start

steps:
  - name: Run tests
    run: pytest --junitxml=reports/junit.xml

  - name: Upload test results to BuildPulse
    if: '!cancelled()'
    uses: BuildPulseLLC/test-reporter-action@v3
    with:
      api-token: ${{ secrets.BUILDPULSE_API_TOKEN }}
      path: reports/junit.xml

Create an API token in your BuildPulse organization settings and store it as a repository secret. The repository is auto-detected from the GitHub Actions environment.

What's New in v3

• Secret masking — api-token, key, and secret are masked in CI logs via core.setSecret() so they never leak even if a downstream tool prints the request body.
• Streaming upload to S3 — large monorepo archives are streamed instead of buffered in memory; multi-GB uploads no longer pressure the runner.
• Retries with exponential backoff — transient 5xx and network errors retry automatically instead of failing the customer build on a single blip.
• HTTPS enforced — the action now refuses to send credentials to a non-HTTPS api-host.
• Real test suite — npm test exercises auth, archive, upload (with mocked S3), and metadata across GitHub Actions / Bitbucket Pipelines environments.
• Removed unused vulnerable deps — fast-xml-parser (critical CVE) and other unused packages dropped.

Upgrading From v2 (buildpulse/buildpulse-action)

The action moved from buildpulse/buildpulse-action to BuildPulseLLC/test-reporter-action. To upgrade:

-  uses: buildpulse/buildpulse-action@v2
+  uses: BuildPulseLLC/test-reporter-action@v3

Most workflows need no other changes. Two notes:

• v3 runs on node20. If you use self-hosted runners, ensure they support node20 (most do).
• API token auth (api-token) is now the recommended path. Legacy key/secret + account/repository inputs still work for existing customers.

Wrap Mode (Pipeline Metrics)

Use the command input to let the action run your tests and capture CPU/memory metrics during execution. This helps surface flakiness caused by resource pressure (OOM, CPU saturation, slow I/O).

steps:
  - name: Run tests & upload to BuildPulse
    if: '!cancelled()'
    uses: BuildPulseLLC/test-reporter-action@v3
    with:
      api-token: ${{ secrets.BUILDPULSE_API_TOKEN }}
      command: npm test
      path: reports/junit.xml

Examples across languages:

# Go
command: go test ./... -v -count=1

# Python
command: pytest --junitxml=reports/junit.xml

# Java
command: mvn test

# Ruby
command: bundle exec rspec --format RspecJunitFormatter --out reports/junit.xml

In wrap mode:

• Test stdout/stderr streams through normally so you still see test output in your CI log
• Runner hardware specs (CPUs, memory, OS) are always captured
• CPU load + memory usage are sampled every second during the test command
• The action step fails if your test command exits non-zero
• Metrics show up on the test run detail page in BuildPulse

Legacy: Access Key / Secret Authentication

For customers still on the legacy auth scheme:

steps:
  - name: Upload test results to BuildPulse
    if: '!cancelled()'
    uses: BuildPulseLLC/test-reporter-action@v3
    with:
      account: <buildpulse-account-id>
      repository: <buildpulse-repository-id>
      path: reports/junit.xml
      key: ${{ secrets.BUILDPULSE_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
      secret: ${{ secrets.BUILDPULSE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}

New projects should use api-token instead.

Inputs

Input	Required	Description
api-token	Recommended	BuildPulse API token from organization settings
path	Yes	Path to JUnit XML file(s) — file, directory, or glob
account	Legacy only	BuildPulse account ID
repository	Legacy only	BuildPulse repository ID
key	Legacy only	BUILDPULSE_ACCESS_KEY_ID
secret	Legacy only	BUILDPULSE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
commit	No	Commit SHA (default: ${{ github.sha }})
repository-path	No	Path to the git clone (default: .)
coverage-files	No	Coverage file paths (space-separated)
tags	No	Tags to apply to this test run (space-separated)
command	No	Test command to run in wrap mode (enables pipeline metrics)
quota	No	Quota ID to count this upload against

Outputs

Output	Description
upload-id	Unique identifier for this upload
account-id	BuildPulse account ID
repository-id	BuildPulse repository ID
command-exit-code	Exit code of the test command (set only in wrap mode)

Development

npm install
npm test          # runs the Jest suite
npm run build     # rebuilds dist/ via @vercel/ncc
npm run lint      # ESLint over src/

Source Files

File	Purpose
src/index.js	Entry point — orchestrates the upload flow
src/archive.js	Packages test result files into a tar.gz archive
src/upload.js	Streams the archive to S3 via a signed URL, with retries
src/auth.js	API token + legacy key/secret authentication
src/metadata.js	Collects Git metadata (GitHub Actions + Bitbucket Pipelines)
src/sampler.js	CPU/memory resource sampler used in wrap mode
action.yml	GitHub Action definition (inputs, outputs, runs)

The committed dist/index.js must stay in sync with src/. If you change src/, re-run npm run build and commit dist/ in the same PR.
