In Kotlin projects, Codecov ignores all files directly under `src/main/kotlin`. It includes files in any subdirectory, such as `src/main/kotlin/mydir/MyClass.kt`, but ignores it if it’s `src/main/kotlin/MyClass.kt`. Although Java projects include the full package name in the directory structure, the official Kotlin docs recommend not doing this. > In pure Kotlin projects, the recommended directory structure follows the package structure with the common root package omitted. For example, if all the code in the project is in the `org.example.kotlin` package and its subpackages, files with the `org.example.kotlin` package should be placed directly under the source root, and files in `org.example.kotlin.network.socket` should be in the `network/socket` subdirectory of the source root. Source: [https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coding-conventions.html#directory-structure](https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/coding-conventions.html#directory-structure) Codecov should include files at the source root to comply with the official conventions. Has anyone run into this and figured out a workaround? Thanks, James ---

Hi @JamesOwenHall We include all files, the issue here is that the file path in the coverage report does not match the file path. In this case, a path fix [Path Fixing](https://docs.codecov.io/docs/fixing-paths) is needed to “move” the files in the report to their actual locations in the repo. This has been confirmed working with at least one Kotlin repo, since it was private I can’t share an exact fix, but if you have trouble crafting it we will be happy to review what you have. ---

Hey @drazisil, thanks for the quick reply. I’ve tried using the `fixes` clause as described in the docs but to no avail. I’ll share what I’ve tried. Our project is structured like this. ```auto ./my_subproject/src/main/kotlin ├── Config.kt ├── avro │ └── AvroDeserializer.kt // … ``` The reason I think this is actually a bug with Codecov is that all files under the `avro` subdirectory, as well as any other subdirectory, show up in the Codecov UI. This suggests that Codecov has no issues finding these files without using the `fixes` clause. Only the top-level `Config.kt` file is being ignored by Codecov. In any case, I did try using the `fixes` clause in the `codecov.yml`. **codecov.yml** ```auto fixes: - mysubproject/src/main/kotlin::src/main/kotlin/com/mycompany/mysubproject ``` With this in my `codecov.yml`, the Codecov UI is updated to display all files other than `Config.kt` in `src/main/kotlin/com/mycompany/mysubproject`. Still the top-level `Config.kt` is ignored. Do you think this is still a matter of mismatched paths? If so, why might all sub packages work? Thanks, James ---

Try flipping the order in the fixes line. (Makes the docs clearer is on my backlog) ---

Can this be fixed automatically by codecov? If I have a multimodule project with 100 projects, I have to fix all of them, and if I add a new one, I have to remember to fix it too. Or I have to create an algorithm to generate this YAML file. I can understand in strange situations we should manually fix things, but an official code convention should be covered automatically, IHMO. And I have a Kotlin Multiplatform project, so I can have thousands of lines easily if I have a lot of sourceSets per project: ```auto fixes: - module-one/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/javiersc/moduleOne::module-one/src/commonMain/kotlin - module-one/src/jvmMain/kotlin/com/javiersc/moduleOne::module-one/src/jvmMain/kotlin - ... - module-two/src/commonMain/kotlin/com/javiersc/moduleTwo::module-two/src/commonMain/kotlin - module-two/src/jvmMain/kotlin/com/javiersc/moduleTwo::module-two/src/jvmMain/kotlin - ... ``` ---

I am trying to fix this problem manually, but even adding the codecov.yml file I can’t get it working. This generic error doesn’t help a lot. How can I know what I am doing wrong? ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/codecov/original/2X/7/710b99cc616b41c1232d577df00e6f70e33b6c9f.png) ---

@JavierSegoviaCordoba, can you please open a new ticket for this?
