CI/CD integration — GitHub Actions and GitLab CI plugins #8

Description

Provide formalized CI/CD integration so ModuleTester test plans can be executed in CI pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI) and produce machine-readable artifacts. This bridges the gap between local manual testing and automated CI workflows.

Current behavior

  • ModuleTester is a desktop GUI application.
  • No headless/CLI mode for running a full test plan and generating a report without a display.
  • CI usage requires manual scripting around ModuleTester.

Expected behavior

  • A CLI command to run a test plan headlessly:
    moduletester run --plan tests/ --output report.html --format html --exit-code
  • Exit code reflects overall pass/fail (usable by CI as a quality gate).
  • Pre-built GitHub Action:
    - uses: Codra-Ingenierie-Informatique/moduletester-action@v1
      with:
        package: mypackage.tests
        format: html
  • Pre-built GitLab CI template (.gitlab-ci-moduletester.yml).
  • JUnit XML output for native CI result integration.

Implementation ideas

  1. Add moduletester run CLI subcommand (headless execution, no Qt required).
  2. Generate JUnit XML output (--format junit) for CI integration.
  3. Create a GitHub Action wrapper in a separate repository.
  4. Create a GitLab CI include template.
  5. Ensure Xvfb compatibility for Linux CI runners if GUI is needed.

Acceptance criteria

  • moduletester run CLI command works headlessly
  • JUnit XML output format is supported
  • Exit code reflects test plan pass/fail
  • GitHub Action wrapper is available
  • Documentation covers CI/CD setup for both GitHub and GitLab
