I was anticipating using things like the job id and PR numbers, but I found those to be deprecated. Are there env vars to leverage instead?

[afinetooth]

@smcclure15 yes, you can find those here (linked from here in the README).

(And more documentation on those here as well.)

Between these two options for Build ID---the label you want to be given to your builds at Coveralls:

• COVERALLS_SERVICE_JOB_NUMBER
• COVERALLS_SERVICE_JOB_ID

You'll want to use COVERALLS_SERVICE_JOB_NUMBER, if that is your purpose.

You then have the option to set that to whatever CI env var you like. With GitHub Actions, the default is GITHUB_RUN_ID, but you could, alternatively, use GITHUB_SHA for instance, if you wanted your build IDs to be equivalent to your GitHub SHAs.

COVERALLS_PULL_REQUEST or CI_PULL_REQUEST will work for setting your PR number, but that is also the default for GitHub Actions (GITHUB_REF).

If you'd like any more assistance with customizing your config, let me know here, or email support@coveralls.io.
