# Installing TestGlance for Jest

## 1. Make tests emit JUnit XML

Install the JUnit reporter:

```bash
npm install --save-dev jest-junit
# or: pnpm add -D jest-junit
# or: yarn add -D jest-junit
```

Update `jest.config.js` (or whatever config file your project uses) to
register the reporter:

```js
// jest.config.js
module.exports = {
  reporters: ['default', 'jest-junit'],
};
```

Set the output path via env var in CI so the report lands under
`test-results/`. Add this to the test job's environment in
`.github/workflows/*.yml`:

```yaml
env:
  JEST_JUNIT_OUTPUT_DIR: test-results
  JEST_JUNIT_OUTPUT_NAME: junit.xml
```

## 2. Add the TestGlance step to CI

If the project already has a CI workflow that runs the tests, add this step
to the test job (after the test step), and merge the `permissions:` block at
the workflow's top level:

```yaml
permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

# ...inside the test job, after the test step:
- uses: testglance/action@v1
  if: always()
  with:
    github-token: ${{ github.token }}
```

If no CI workflow runs the tests yet, create
`.github/workflows/testglance.yml` that runs the project's tests and then
runs the TestGlance step.

`if: always()` matters — TestGlance should still run when tests fail.
TestGlance auto-discovers anything matching `**/test-results/*.xml`, so no
`report-path` is needed when reports land under `test-results/`.

## 3. Confirm with the user before committing

Summarize the diff and ask the user to confirm before staging or
committing. Do not push.
