How to get or parse coverage persentage of Jacoco report in GitHub Actions - build.gradle

Question

I have Spring Boot app it uses gradle for build and package. I have configured Jacoco plugin and generating report in my local as HTML. I want to include it in my GitHub build workflow so whenever build runs I want to upload/store that Jacoco generated html report in the branch in which build is running. Is it possible using GitHub Actions?
Also once Jacoco build report is created want to extract final code coverage percentage of that build (this percentage is only for my defined coverage rule) and create a badge in the repository in which build is running.
EDIT
test {
finalizedBy jacocoTestReport // report is always generated after tests run
}
jacocoTestReport {
dependsOn test // tests are required to run before generating the report
}
jacoco {
toolVersion = "0.8.6"
//reportsDirectory = file("$buildDir/report/")
}
jacocoTestReport {
dependsOn test
sourceSets sourceSets.main
executionData fileTree(project.rootDir.absolutePath).include("**/build/jacoco/*.exec")
reports {
xml.enabled false
csv.enabled true
html.destination file("${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/Html")
csv.destination file("${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/jacoco.csv")
}
}
//Test coverage Rule to make sure code coverage is 100 %
jacocoTestCoverageVerification {
violationRules {
rule {
element = 'CLASS'
limit {
counter = 'LINE'
value = 'COVEREDRATIO'
minimum = 1.0
}
excludes = [
'com.cicd.herokuautodeploy.model.*',
'com.cicd.herokuautodeploy.HerokuautodeployApplication',
'com.cicd.herokuautodeploy.it.*'
]
}
}
}

Answer 1

Disclosure: I am the author of the cicirello/jacoco-badge-generator GitHub Action that this question concerns.
Although the default behavior assumes Maven's location of the jacoco.csv, there is an action input that can be used to indicate the location of the jacoco report. So in your case, with gradle, you can change the cicirello/jacoco-badge-generator step of your workflow to the following (if you use gradle's default location and filename for the report):
- name: Generate JaCoCo Badge
uses: cicirello/jacoco-badge-generator#v2
with:
jacoco-csv-file: build/reports/jacoco/test/jacocoTestReport.csv
It looks like your gradle configuration changed the report location though, so you will need the following in order to coincide with your report location and filename:
- name: Generate JaCoCo Badge
id: jacoco
uses: cicirello/jacoco-badge-generator#v2
with:
jacoco-csv-file: build/reports/jacoco/jacoco.csv
The id: jacoco is just because one of your later steps in your workflow is referring to the action outputs through that id.

Answer 2

If you can configure jacoco to generate a jacoco.csv file, then the GitHub Action jacoco-badge-generator can generate the requested badge.
See for instance "Use Jacoco And GitHub Actions to Improve Code Coverage" from Rodrigo Graciano for an example of pom.xml project configuration to generate the report during build.
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jacoco</groupId>
<artifactId>jacoco-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${jacoco.plugin.version}</version>
<executions>

</execution>
<execution>
<id>report</id>
<phase>prepare-package</phase>
<goals>
<goal>report</goal>
</goals>

For a gradle example:
jacocoTestReport {
dependsOn test
sourceSets sourceSets.main
executionData fileTree(project.rootDir.absolutePath).include("**/build/jacoco/*.exec")
reports {
xml.enabled false
csv.enabled true
html.destination file("${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/Html")
csv.destination file("${buildDir}/reports/jacoco/jacoco.csv")
}
}
