Source-based practical guide

Add Anchor Test to a GitHub Actions workflow

Configure a workflow to run Anchor project tests on pushes, with optional version and Cargo feature settings.

Before you start

  • A Solana Anchor project.
  • A GitHub Actions workflow.

Steps

  1. Add a workflow job that runs on ubuntu-22.04 and checks out the repository with actions/checkout@v3.

  2. Add metadaoproject/anchor-test@v2.3 as a step in the job.

  3. Optionally set anchor-version, solana-cli-version and node-version inputs to select tool versions.

  4. Optionally set the features input to pass Cargo features to anchor test; it defaults to default.

Expected outcome

The workflow is configured to run Anchor tests, using the action's defaults or the versions and Cargo features specified.

Guide limitations

  • The documented example runs on ubuntu-22.04.
  • The README describes the workflow configuration but does not document test-result handling or additional CI setup.
