Description
Coveralls GitHub Action requires a secret token, that is only available for pull requests in two cases:
- Pull request was open from the same repository
- GitHub Action workflow was triggered by
pull_request_target
event.
The latter, however, appears to be completely ignored by this action. I do not receive a PR comment, and the UI is showing that the target commit is my main branch HEAD.
Apparently, Coveralls uses $GITHUB_SHA
to identify the commit. Which in case of pull_request_target
equals to the main commit, not the PR commit. I tried fixing that with the following snippet:
- id: sha
run: echo "SHA=$(git rev-parse HEAD)" > $GITHUB_OUTPUT
- name: Coveralls
uses: coverallsapp/github-action@v2
with:
git-commit: ${{ steps.sha.outputs.SHA }}
but the commit hash on the Coveralls UI remains the same, and the comparison fails.
Here's an example of a PR: frontiers-labs/tir#29
And whatever was generated for that event: https://coveralls.io/builds/67039590
Even though I delete a bunch of tests, the Coveralls shows that the PR introduced no changes. Only after I commit that PR, I can see my updated coverage info.
