Error: failed to properly upload

[iwahbe]

Hi,

We are getting failed to properly upload errors in our codecov reports. This is a link to a failed report: test.

The error looks like this:

It looks like the same issue as #595. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I just got the same issue. Try regenerating a new secret token and change it in your settings > secrets.

Hope this helps.

[emiliza]

@clementchadebec our repo is public, and we don't have a secret configured

[aadibajpai]

I'm getting a similar thing to #595 specifically on windows https://github.com/SwagLyrics/SwSpotify/runs/4785632314?check_suite_focus=true

[jaybxyz]

Anyone has solved the issue? We are getting the same error. Our repository is also public. See this.

[jaybxyz]

I resolved the issue by changing the report extension to xml. I used to use coverage.out file.

[rafaelcalpena]

We are getting this error on version v0.1.16, but version: "v0.1.15" in the action works fine:

- name: Upload coverage results to Codecov.io
      uses: codecov/codecov-action@v2
      with:
        token: ${{secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN}}
        version: "v0.1.15"

[arunanshub]

Had to rerun the workflow. It's up and running. Is it a Heisenbug?

[C0ZEN]

I had the same issue since today, generating a new token was pointless.
Using an explicit version here with 0.1.15 was actually the only workaround I found.
See Sonia-corporation/stale@d466fb2 (#388).

Thank you very much @rafaelcalpena!

Make sure to run CodeCov with a version of PHPUnit that supports coverage for the used PHP version (e.g. not 8.5 with PHP8). This was the issue in our case.

[MetRonnie]

We get this 404 error from time to time. Rather annoying if you have fail_ci_if_error: true

There seem to be a few different "fixes" for this being posted here, but we're just having this problem intermittently for no apparent reason.

[arunanshub]

Using with.token parameter seems to fix the problem.

[nickwest]

I ran into this error message on one project while having no errors on another similar project. Like many of the people here my errors look like this:

[2022-03-07T16:17:56.552Z] ['verbose'] Preparing to clean the following coverage paths: ./clover.xml

Error: Codecov: Failed to properly upload: The process '/home/runner/work/_actions/codecov/codecov-action/v2/dist/codecov' failed with exit code 255

The final error message is a bit misleading though. The problem wasn't with the upload so much as the code coverage output file was missing, so there was nothing to process and upload. In my case one project had an older version of PHPUnit which couldn't generate the coverage output with my setup.

The key error line is:

[2022-03-07T16:17:56.552Z] ['error'] There was an error running the uploader: Error while cleaning paths. No paths matched existing files!

Then in previous steps I was able to diagnose why that file was missing.

A good "fix" for this might be to change the final error message in this action so it more prominently displays that the code coverage file was missing, rather than just that there was an upload error .

[cosmopool]

Send your test coverage file to /home/runner, using pytest as exemple:

pytest --cov . --cov-report xml:/home/runner/coverage.xml

and pass this directory to codecov files argument:

- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v2
    with:
        files: /home/runner/coverage.xml

The test step is probably cleaning the file before codecov start.

[BlueHotDog]

I'm having the same issue.
Are the code-cove folks on this? what's the status?
Some times the server returns 404 :(

I just stopped using it.

[imgarylai]

Using with.token parameter seems to fix the problem.

Would you mind giving a detailed example?

[RemDelaporteMathurin]

I started running into this error again and moving to codecov-action@v4 fixed it! 🎉

[lrq3000]

I started running again into this issue, and had to update to codecov-action@v4 as @RemDelaporteMathurin suggested.

If after the update you still get the following error:

Error: Codecov token not found. Please provide Codecov token with -t flag.

This is maybe because like me you defined the CODECOV_TOKEN as an environment variable instead of a repository secret. Go into https://github.com/your_org_or_username/your_repo/settings/secrets/actions and add CODECOV_TOKEN as a secret in the lower pane.
