Plan for Implementing GitHub Action Test Output

• Update .github/workflows/pull_request.yml to:

  • Add TRX logger to test command
  • Add EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action@v2 step to publish test results
  • Ensure proper permissions for the action

• Update .github/workflows/release.yml to:

  • Add TRX logger to test command
  • Add EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action@v2 step to publish test results
  • Ensure proper permissions for the action

• Fix TRX file size issue

Summary of Changes

Both workflow files have been updated with:

1. Permissions: Added necessary permissions for the action:

   • checks: write - Required to create check runs with test results
   • pull-requests: write - Required to comment on PRs with test results
   • contents: read/write - For repository access

2. Test Command: Modified to generate TRX test result files:

   • Changed from --logger "trx;LogFileName=test-results.trx" to --logger trx
   • This allows dotnet to create separate TRX files for each target framework (net8.0, net9.0) with unique names

3. Publish Test Results Step: Added new step using EnricoMi/publish-unit-test-result-action@v2:

   • Runs even if tests fail (if: always())
   • Collects all TRX files from **/TestResults/*.trx pattern
   • Creates a check named "Test Results" with detailed test information
   • Added large_files: true to enable XML_PARSE_HUGE for handling large TRX files

Fix for TRX File Size Issue

The initial implementation was generating a single combined TRX file that exceeded 32MB and 450,000 lines when running tests for multiple target frameworks. This caused the error:

Resource limit exceeded: Text node too long, try XML_PARSE_HUGE

The fix:

• Removed the explicit LogFileName parameter to allow dotnet test to create separate TRX files per target framework
• Added large_files: true parameter to the publish action to enable XML_PARSE_HUGE parsing option

• Fixes Implement GitHub Action tests output #25
