GitHub Action that installs and configures Datadog Test Visibility. Supported languages are .NET, Java, Javascript, and Python.

Test Visibility provides a test-first view into your CI health by displaying important metrics and results from your tests. It can help you investigate and mitigate performance problems and test failures that are most relevant to your work, focusing on the code you are responsible for, rather than the pipelines which run your tests.

1. Set Datadog API key inside Settings > Secrets as DD_API_KEY.

2. Add a step to your GitHub Actions workflow YAML that uses this action. Set the language, service name and site parameters:

   steps:
     - name: Configure Datadog Test Visibility
       uses: datadog/[email protected]
       with:
         languages: java
         service-name: my-service
         api-key: ${{ secrets.DD_API_KEY }}
         site: US1
     - name: Run unit tests
       run: |
         mvn clean test

The action has the following parameters:

languages: List of languages to be instrumented. Can be either "all" or any of "java", "js", "python", "dotnet" (multiple languages can be specified as a space-separated list).
service-name: The name of the service or library being tested.
api-key: Datadog API key. Can be found at https://app.datadoghq.com/organization-settings/api-keys
site: Datadog site (optional), defaults to US1. See https://docs.datadoghq.com/getting_started/site for more information about sites.

Any additional configuration values can be added directly to the step that runs your tests:

- name: Run unit tests
  run: |
    mvn clean test
  env:
    DD_ENV: staging-tests
    DD_TAGS: layer:api,team:intake,key:value

For security reasons Github does not allow actions to alter the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable. To work around this, the action provides a separate DD_TRACE_PACKAGE variable that needs to be appended to node options manually:

- name: Run tests
  shell: bash
  run: npm run test-ci
  env:
    NODE_OPTIONS: -r ${{ env.DD_TRACE_PACKAGE }}
