## Before submitting a topic, please confirm the following [x] I have searched for similar issues before creating this topic. [x] I have verified that my repository is using the [Codecov GitHub app](https://github.com/apps/codecov), if using GitHub [x] I have [validated](https://docs.codecov.com/docs/codecov-yaml#validate-your-repository-yaml) my `codecov.yaml` configuration file. [x] I have filled out the below sections to the best of my ability. ### Description We have fuzz tests in our repo and they generate some files in `fuzzdata` directory during tests run. This dir and files inside have strict permissions, so codecov action can’t read them. I added this folder to ignore, however action still failing and I still see error about permissions in logs. I checked codecov.yaml and it’s valid. Enabling `verbose` mode for action doesn’t bring more clarity where is the problem. I read all similar topics, but none of these solutions helped me. ### Repository > **[GitHub - percona/pmm: Percona Monitoring and Management: an open source...](https://github.com/percona/pmm)** > > Percona Monitoring and Management: an open source database monitoring, observability and management tool ### Pull Request where I’m trying to fix the problem > > > PMM-7 > > https://community.codecov.com/t/cant-make-ignore-option-work-for-direct…ory-with-strict-permissions/3814 ### CI/CD URL We allow codecov action to fail, so run is green, however noting was uploaded.

@artemgavrilov I just pushed `0.2.6` of the uploader. Can you try to see if this fixes your issue? ---
