Can you try adding the [Codecov GitHub app](https://github.com/apps/codecov)? ---

Thanks for your reply. Is using the app a must? Can’t I just use the github action? ---
**Author:** ![YonatanKra](https://yyz1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/user_avatar/community.codecov.com/yonatankra/32/1425_2.png) [@YonatanKra](https://community.codecov.com/u/YonatanKra)\ **Post date:** [March 16, 2022, 1:35pm UTC](https://community.codecov.com/t/codecov-doesnt-fail-the-ci-github-actions/3540/4 "2022-03-16T13:35:06Z")
There’s a discrepancy between the codecov UI and the response returned from the github action: ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/codecov/original/2X/3/3fd0d38d3e6e0adb4da96f2c3952d6e474440bf6.png) In the codecov UI it shows the CI fails, as shown in the image above. Also, when I check the codecov.yml file I see my config as I’ve set it in the branch. The CI itself passed as I get a success response from codecov ---

The app is a must, it allows us to interface with GitHub for API calls. Do you mind sharing a link for the CI discrepancy? ---

Hi, We’ve activated and configured the app. This has solved the issue. Thanks!
