View Build Reports in GitHub Actions

You can view your build reports directly in your GitHub Actions workflow. This integration allows you to monitor your test results and access detailed reports without leaving the GitHub environment.

Prerequisites

1. A BrowserStack Test Reporting & Analytics account.
2. A GitHub repository with GitHub Actions enabled.
3. Your test suite configured to run on BrowserStack.
4. A workflow YAML file configured to run your tests.
5. Your BrowserStack username and access key stored as GitHub secrets.

Steps to View Build Reports in GitHub Actions

Follow these steps to view your build reports in GitHub Actions:

Step 1: Add the BrowserStack Report Action

This step uses the BrowserStack Report Action to generate a build report. The action uses your stored GitHub secrets to connect to your account and retrieve build information.

Add the following code snippet to your workflow file, typically after your test-trigger step:

Step 2: Upload the Report as an Artifact (optional)

To get a more visual and persistent report, you can upload the generated report as a build artifact. This makes the report downloadable directly from the GitHub Actions summary page. This step is optional but highly recommended.

Add the following code snippet to your workflow file, after the BrowserStack Report Action step:

View the Reports

• To view the artifact: If you performed the optional second step, you will see an Artifacts section on the workflow run’s summary page. Click the artifact name to download the report file.
