Skip Test Pull Requests

For flaky or problematic tests, you can automatically generate a pull request that adds a skip annotation:

1. Navigate to the test case details
2. Click “Create Skip PR”
3. A new pull request will be created with:
   • Skip annotation added to the test
   • Detailed description of why the test is being skipped
   • Link back to the test case in TestResult.co

​

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

​

Invalid Repository URL

• Ensure the URL is in the correct format: https://github.com/owner/repository
• Both HTTPS and SSH URLs are supported

​

Permission Errors

• Verify your access token has the required permissions
• Ensure the token hasn’t expired
• Check that the token has access to the target repository

​

Rate Limiting

• The GitHub API has rate limits
• Consider using a fine-grained token to avoid organization-wide rate limits
