Run Diffie tests in your GitHub Actions pipeline
Run your Diffie test suites automatically on every pull request with GitHub Actions. The integration uses two API calls — one to start a suite run, one to poll for results. No plugins or complex configuration required.
In the Diffie dashboard, go to Settings → API Tokens to generate a token (DIFFIE_TOKEN). Then open the test suite you want to run and copy the Suite ID from the URL or settings page (DIFFIE_SUITE_ID).
In your GitHub repository, go to Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions. Add two repository secrets: DIFFIE_TOKEN and DIFFIE_SUITE_ID.
Add a workflow file at .github/workflows/diffie.yml. The script starts a suite run via the API, then polls for results every 10 seconds until the run passes, fails, or is cancelled.
