Github Actions: Report dotnet test result as annotations

Question

If you run tests using Azure Pipelines you would get some cool results on the checks tabs.

Is there any way to do the same from Github Actions so we don't have to go through the console output?

Here is one solution: https://github.com/microsoft/vstest/issues/2370#issuecomment-602233131

GitHub user Tyrrrz made a small proof of concept using GitHub Actions commands. This reports test failures to the GH Actions platform, letting you see them in the Annotations view and navigate to the exact/file that triggered it. This is not exactly the solution to "support colorized output" but may solve the underlying issue that GitHub Actions doesn't show the list of failed tests nicely.

You can use the Test Reporter action which provides a nice test report summary.

It supports many languages / frameworks:

.NET / xUnit / NUnit / MSTest
Dart / test
Flutter / test
Java / JUnit
JavaScript / JEST / Mocha

Here's what a report looks like (screenshot from the Test Reporter project):
