Codecov GitHub Action

Easily upload coverage reports to Codecov from GitHub Actions

The latest release of this Action adds support for tokenless uploads from GitHub Actions!

Usage

To integrate Codecov with your Actions pipeline, specify the name of this repository with a tag number (@v1 is recommended) as a step within your workflow.yml file.

If you have a private repository, this Action also requires you to provide an upload token from codecov.io (tip: in order to avoid exposing your token, store it as a secret). Optionally, you can choose to include up to four additional inputs to customize the upload context. For public repositories, no token is needed

Inside your .github/workflows/workflow.yml file:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v1
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }} # not required for public repos
    file: ./coverage.xml # optional
    files: ./coverage1.xml,./coverage2.xml # optional
    flags: unittests # optional
    name: codecov-umbrella # optional
    fail_ci_if_error: true # optional (default = false)
    verbose: true # optional (default = false)

Note: This assumes that you've set your Codecov token inside Settings > Secrets as CODECOV_TOKEN. If not, you can get an upload token for your specific repo on codecov.io. Keep in mind that secrets are not available to forks of repositories.

Arguments

Codecov's Action currently supports five inputs from the user: token, file, flags,name, and fail_ci_if_error. These inputs, along with their descriptions and usage contexts, are listed in the table below:

Update: We've removed the yml parameter with the latest release of this action. Please put your custom codecov yaml file at the root of the repo because other locations will no longer be supported in the future.

file	Path to the coverage report(s)	Optional
files	Comma-separated paths to the coverage report(s)	Optional
