Summary

The CircleCI orb should automatically retry sending the report if there was some error.

Description

We’ve seen a couple of random upload failures, and I think these are caused by some random errors on Codecov side. The output looks like this:

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
cat codecov | bash -s -- \
  -Q "codecov-circleci-orb-1.1.4" \
  -t "${CODECOV_TOKEN}" \
  -n "${CIRCLE_BUILD_NUM}" \
  -F "" \
  -Z || echo 'Codecov upload failed'

@quantus we will likely not implement this as users can do a similar retry in CircleCI using the when keyphrase.

However, we’ve changed to a new uploader and a new orb. Are you experiencing the issue on 3.0+ versions of the orb?
