Description

When uploading coverage reports for a module (core) in our repo while having a duplicate of that module in another directory (release/core), Codecov results declares that report unusable.

Expected Results

Report processing succeeds and coverage passes.

Actual Results

Report is marked as “unusable report”
Tried cases in detail:

  1. Upload coverage report for core without the duplicate: Codecov succeeds. (Uploading core without release/core)
  2. Upload coverage report for core with the duplicate missing one file: Codecov succeeds. (Uploading both core and release/core, however removing one file from release/core so that they’re not identical)
  3. Upload coverage report for core with the duplicate: “unusable report”.
  4. Upload coverage report for core with the duplicate and adding an ignore config in codecov.yml as shown below: “unusable report”.

codecov.yml

coverage:
  status:
    project:
      default:
        # basic
        target: auto
        threshold: 0%
ignore:
  - "release"

We have tried many different variations of ignore including:
"**/release
"**/release/
"**/release/**/*
"release/**/*
"/release/**/*
but none of them seem to actually ignore the “release” directory.

Note: The actual path to the duplicate ‘core’ is “release/{dir1}/{dir2}/{dir3}/{dir4}/{dir5}/{dir6}/{dir7}/core”, however I use “release/core” in this topic for simplicity.

@osama-salman99 sorry about the delay here. As the community boards are soon to be set to read-only, would you mind copying this and creating a new issue in our feedback repo?
