Depending on your branching model an CI strategy, this issue might be related to the [unability of Codecov to pick the right base commit to compare with](https://community.codecov.com/t/flag-n-to-set-the-base-report-does-not-work/973).

I had the same problem of not changed files being reported due to the base commit issue. I would recommend you to take a close look into the git tree and the commit used as base to double check if your problem is related with that.
