Code coverage on pull requests is now in public preview 🚀

[ebndev]

Code coverage metrics are now in public preview for all GitHub Code Quality users on github.com.

You can now see an aggregate percent of code covered directly on pull requests, giving reviewers a clear signal to help evaluate test completeness before merging. With coverage context in the pull request experience, your team can make faster, higher-confidence review decisions without switching to a separate tool.

To get started, enable code coverage for your repository and upload a Cobertura report from your existing CI workflow using the upload-code-coverage action.

Permissions

GitHub Apps and Actions workflows require the new code-quality:write fine-grained permission to upload code coverage reports to GitHub.

Availability and pricing

GitHub Code Quality is available today for GitHub Enterprise Cloud and Team, but isn’t yet available on GitHub Enterprise Server. It’s free during the preview period.

Great addition! Although i would have expect to first see test results / code coverage results in a github action before getting results in a PR? is that something that is considered?

[AlonaHlobina]

Thanks for the feedback! No, currently we consider PRs as the main surface for this data and will follow up with the main branch coverage soon after; but we will not surface anything in actions.

Nice feature! Is it possible to see current coverage in the default branch?

[AlonaHlobina]

Currently the code coverage data can be only seen on PRs. We will follow up with the main branch coverage soon after.

Was also wondering this. Would be nice to have at least a page in the Code Quality tab to get a coverage overview. Shields/badges would be handy too.

And how much should we expect to be paying after the preview period?
