codecov fails in github actions

Question

backgrond

• my setup for codecov has worked well so far

  • you can regular updates with each pr commits here
  • I haven't change my repo settings

• as I've inadvertently pushed a folder that I wasn't supposed to,
  then I merged a pr to remove said folder

• here is my codecov.yml

issue

• on the aforementioned last pr linked above the github action ci complained with the log below

• the suggested fix is quite obscure to me

request

as I don't really want to run anything locally can someone help me to fix the issue inside the CI

thank you

Answer 1

Codecov has some heisenberg issues. If you don't have a token, please add one otherwise try to:

• Force-push to retrigger Codecov
• Rotate your token.

Answer 2

Refreshing my codecov token and reinstalling the plugin worked for me.

Answer 3

I ran into this issue today.

Seems related to Issue #330 being tracked from their GitHub page.

Last comment (as of this writing) suggests that the issue should have been fixed about an hour ago, but my latest PRs still ran into it. I'll post an update if I can confirm it's fixed for me.

UPDATE: This has been fixed with release of version 1.5.2 of the codecov action.

Answer 4

NOTE: This answer refers to the new uploader. You can also use codecov's action instead.

I had failing builds although I had steps setup correctly. In my case what fixed the builds was to change the "alpine" to "linux" in the uploader link and explicitly provide an environmental variable named CODECOV_TOKEN.

- name: Upload reports to codecov
      env:
        CODECOV_TOKEN: ${{secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN}}
      run: | 
       curl -Os https://uploader.codecov.io/latest/linux/codecov
       find . -iregex "codecov.*"
       chmod +x codecov 
       ./codecov -t ${CODECOV_TOKEN}
