Add Glade to CI

Guided help

Add Glade checks, affected tests, JUnit, SARIF, and artifacts to a pull request workflow.

Fetch full git history for changed-test selection.
Run `glade check`, changed tests, and JUnit output.
Upload reports even when a gate fails.

Before you start

The repository uses GitHub Actions.
The workflow can install Glade from https://glade.sh/install.sh.
The project can run local checks and tests from a terminal.

Steps

1. Add the workflow

Create .github/workflows/glade.yml:

yaml

name: glade
on: [pull_request]

jobs:
  glade:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0
      - run: curl -fsSL https://glade.sh/install.sh | sh
      - run: echo "$HOME/.local/bin" >> "$GITHUB_PATH"
      - run: glade doctor
      - run: mkdir -p reports
      - run: glade check --project . --format sarif --output reports/glade-check.sarif --no-progress
      - run: glade test changed --project . --since origin/main --json --no-progress > reports/glade-test-changed.json
      - run: glade test --project . --junit reports/glade-junit.xml --no-progress

Expected: the workflow has fetch-depth: 0, creates reports, and writes SARIF, JSON, and JUnit outputs.

2. Prove the artifact commands locally

Run the same report-producing commands in a terminal:

bash

mkdir -p reports
glade check --project . --format sarif --output reports/glade-check.sarif --no-progress
glade test changed --project . --since origin/main --json --no-progress > reports/glade-test-changed.json
glade test --project . --junit reports/glade-junit.xml --no-progress
wc -c reports/glade-check.sarif reports/glade-test-changed.json reports/glade-junit.xml

Expected: the report files exist and have non-zero size.

3. Upload artifacts after failures

Add an upload step with if: always():

yaml

      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
        if: always()
        with:
          name: glade-results
          path: |
            reports/glade-check.sarif
            reports/glade-test-changed.json
            reports/glade-junit.xml

Expected: failed checks still leave the report files attached to the workflow run.

Common wrong turn

Changed-test selection needs the base ref on disk. Keep fetch-depth: 0 when the workflow runs glade test changed --since origin/main.
