Inputs

name	description	required	default
token	Github token to use to publish the check.	no	${{ github.token }}
path	Path to the Cobertura coverage XML report.	no	coverage.xml
threshold	The minimum allowed coverage percentage, as a real number.	no	0
fail	Fail the action when the minimum coverage was not met.	no	true
publish	Publish the coverage report as an issue comment.	no	false
diff	Create a diff of the coverage report.	no	false
diff-branch	Branch to diff against.	no	main
storage-subdirectory	Subdirectory in the diff-storage branch where the XML reports will be stored.	no	.
diff-storage	Branch where coverage reports are stored for diff purposes.	no	_xml_coverage_reports
coverage-summary-title	Title for the code coverage summary in the Pull Request comment.	no	Code Coverage Summary
uncovered-statements-increase-failure	Fail the action if any changed file has an increase in uncovered lines compared to the `diff-branch`. This corresponds to pycobertura exit code 2, which indicates that at least one changed file has more uncovered lines than before (Miss > 0). Note that this is different from coverage rate reduction - it specifically checks for increases in the absolute number of uncovered lines.	no	false
new-uncovered-statements-failure	Fail the action if new uncovered statements are introduced AND overall coverage improved (total uncovered lines decreased) compared to the `diff-branch`. This corresponds to pycobertura exit code 3, which only occurs when total uncovered lines decreased (Miss <= 0) but there are still new uncovered statements (Missing != []). To fail on ALL new uncovered statements regardless of overall coverage improvement, use this flag together with `coverage-reduction-failure: true`.	no	false
coverage-rate-reduction-failure	Fail the action if the overall coverage percentage (rate) decreases compared to the `diff-branch`. This is different from `uncovered-statements-increase-failure` which checks for absolute increases in uncovered lines. This flag specifically looks at the coverage percentage and fails if it goes down, regardless of whether uncovered lines increased or decreased. This is a more forgiving approach that focuses on the relative coverage rate rather than absolute uncovered line counts.	no	false
pycobertura-exception-failure	Fail the action in case of a `Pycobertura` exception.	no	true
togglable-report	Make the code coverage report togglable.	no	false
report-low-coverage-only	When true, the detailed coverage report will only include files where coverage is less than 100%. The TOTAL summary line is always included.	no	false
exclude-detailed-coverage	Whether a detailed coverage report should be excluded from the PR comment. The detailed coverage report contains the following information per file: number of code statements, number of statements not covered by any test, coverage percentage, and line numbers not covered by any test.	no	false

Outputs

summary	Summary of coverage report
