Description
Bug Report
When you create a PR from a fork of this repo, merging is blocked because the Test Results check does not appear.
Repro or Code Sample
https://github.com/ni/nitypes-python/pull/239
Expected Behavior
The PR is mergable once it's approved and all checks pass.
Current Behavior
The PR is not mergable because the Test Results check never appears.
Possible Solution
Context
PRs from contributors who do not have write access to the repo
Your Environment

First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with PR 239 and the GitHub Actions workflow responsible for the Test Results check; compare its behavior for fork PRs with the linked publish-unit-test-result-action fork guidance. Done means fork PRs receive the check and become mergeable after approval and passing checks.
