Description

Hello,

I’m using CodeCov to see our coverage on iOS swift project.
We’re able to execute our unit tests on Bitrise but when we push the report to CodeCov ignored folders/files are visible and reduce the coverage uselessly.

and the codecov.yml file :

ignore:
    - "CoreCommon/CoreCommon/Resources/Strings/Localizable.swift"
    - "**/Resources/**"

Expected Results

I expect the file Localizable.swift to be ignored in the report, and all the files within a “Resources” folder as well.

Actual Results

The file Localizable.swift is still in the code coverage report.

Additional Information

In similar topics, people speaks about the team-bot but I dont understand why it is needed (we do not have a team-bot at the moment).

Thank you,
Marvin

@Marvin please check the above steps, particularly

I have verified that my repository is using the Codecov GitHub app, if using GitHub
I have validated my codecov.yaml configuration file.

Hello @tom , thank you for your answer.
We use Gitlab, not Github so I thinks it is ok for this part.
And yes I validated my codecov.yaml with the command : curl --data-binary @codecov.yml https://codecov.io/validate

@Marvin, got it. I should have read more deeply. You need to set up a team bot. We need it in order to communicate with GitLab to do things like read the yaml file server side or set status checks and add comments. What I suspect is happening is that we aren’t able to read your yaml file from our server because we don’t have the permissioning from a team bot.

@tom , thank you for your quick answer. Indeed, set up a team bot was the solution.
Best regards,
Marvin
