How do show my tests passing/failing in Github?
Unit TestingGithubContinuous IntegrationUnit Testing Problem Overview
I have a project on github that has extensive unit tests (using mocha for node.js).
I'd like to show off by showing those tests passing/failing on each page. I notice other projects on Github are doing this.
I've been unable to find any documentation on how to make the test status display.
- How can I make Github show unit test output?
- Does Github run the tests or do you need to hook up with an external webapp?
- Is there a free webservice to do this (my app is Open Source)?
Unit Testing Solutions
Solution 1 - Unit Testing
Take a look at Travis CI. You can use it with GitHub.
They have docs on using NodeJS

Solution 3 - Unit Testing
CircleCI the status badges are also simply images that you can drop into your README.md file with the markdown. For example:

Solution 4 - Unit Testing
Yes I'm quite sure you mean something like Jenkins or Travis-CI. They work on your github account! On every commit the tests are executed.
