Is there a way to customize Github checks with CircleCI?


I am currently working on the CI of project and I deploy a preview for each github branch that pass all integration tests.

My CI workflow is executed by CircleCI and I can see the progression on github with Github checks. It works pretty nice but description does not reflect what really happens.

For instance I can see this on github :

github_checks

My problem is I would like to custom message and details actions link. My last job deploys a preview and I would like to be able to put the link somewhere. The best case should be able to open my preview when I click on details button.

Is there any way to do this ?


Solution

  • I send a mail to CircleCI support and I got this anwser :

    Hello,

    It is not possible at this time to customize this text. Clicking the details link will bring you to the job on CircleCI. We are currently working on a utility that will allow you to post comments to the PR from within a job that may be close to what you are looking for. This will exist in an Orb (https://circleci.com/orbs/registry/) but I could not say exactly how long until this is released, though we are actively working on it.

    You may wish to post to our public facing ideas portal: https://ideas.circleci.com/ideas as a new idea post. This will let our community vote for this request. Please let us know if we can assist any further.

    So, unfortunately it is not possible yet. Maybe in the future.
