### Description I have several coverage reports from a Python project generated on Travis CI and Appveyor; when uploaded and processed, the Appveyor reports are missing some code that was actually covered. It looks like the missing coverage is the code that’s run in a subprocess in the tests (it’s running the application and collecting coverage for it). ### Repository > **[GitHub - jimporter/bfg9000: bfg9000 - build file generator](https://github.com/jimporter/bfg9000)** > > bfg9000 - build file generator ### CI/CD Appveyor (plus Travis CI, but that appears to work fine). Example job, with command-line output showing the coverage report for verification: [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jimporter/bfg9000/build/job/s4st0i2sq0iclndn) ### Uploader Using codecov-python, invoked with `codecov --name "%APPVEYOR_JOB_NAME%"` ### Commit SHAs > ### Codecov YAML ```auto comment: false coverage: status: project: default: informational: true patch: default: informational: true ``` ### Codecov Output ```auto _____ _ / ____ | | | | | _____ | | ______ _______ | | / _ \ / _ |/ _ \/ __/ _ \ \ / / | |___| (_) | (_| |__/ (_| (_) \ V / \ _____\___ / \ ____|\___ |\ ___\___ / \_/ v2.1.8 ==> Detecting CI provider AppVeyor Detected ==> Preparing upload ==> Processing gcov (disable by -X gcov) ==> Collecting reports XX> Searching for reports disabled Generating coverage xml reports for Python + C:\projects\bfg9000\coverage.xml bytes=368247 ==> Uploading .url https://codecov.io .query commit=b8e2f4523c37a591e8c15d8d8628761e292b8f3d&branch=refactor-cc-msvc&job=jimporter%2Fbfg9000%2Frefactor-cc-msvc-2264&service=appveyor&build=s4st0i2sq0iclndn&slug=jimporter%2Fbfg9000&name=Image%3A%20Visual%20Studio%202013%3B%20Environment%3A%20COMPILER%3Dvs&yaml=codecov.yml&package=py2.1.8 Gzipping contents..

Inject the following `sitecustomize.py` to collect coverage for Python subprocesses: `import coverage; coverage.process_startup()` 2. Run `coverage erase` 3. Run `coverage run setup.py test` 4. Run `coverage combine` 5. Submit coverage **Expected behavior:** Full coverage; in particular, note the coverage for the file `bfg9000/tools/msvc/ __init__.py`. In the Appveyor log, it shows 99% coverage. **Actual behavior:** In the Codecov report, `bfg9000/tools/msvc/ __init__.py` only shows 86% coverage: [https://codecov.io/gh/jimporter/bfg9000/src/b8e2f4523c37a591e8c15d8d8628761e292b8f3d/bfg9000/tools/msvc/\_\_init\_\_.py](https://codecov.io/gh/jimporter/bfg9000/src/b8e2f4523c37a591e8c15d8d8628761e292b8f3d/bfg9000/tools/msvc/ __init__.py). I’ve verified that the raw uploaded report looks ok. **Flakiness?** This appears to happen all the time, since refactoring this part of the code to be in multiple files; formerly it lived in `bfg9000/tools/mscv.py` and worked fine. ---

Hi @jimporter, thanks for reaching out. So just a few questions, I looked in your repository, but I can’t seem to find where you are calling the `--name` argument on [codecov](https://github.com/jimporter/bfg9000/blob/69380cfeea6e1e3414c71dbed223e070472c09ba/appveyor.yml#L150). I’m asking because I see this line > Searching for reports disabled but that should only happen if it’s been [disabled](https://github.com/codecov/codecov-python/blob/master/codecov/ __init__.py#L988). If you are more in the area of just getting this to work, I would recommend the [bash script](https://docs.codecov.io/docs/about-the-codecov-bash-uploader). You should be able to run something like `bash <(curl -s https://codecov.io/bash) -U "-s" -A "-s"` (this is Windows specific) ---

Here’s where I’m adding the `--name` argument; it’s on the `refactor-cc-msvc` branch: [https://github.com/jimporter/bfg9000/blob/refactor-cc-msvc/appveyor.yml#L151](https://github.com/jimporter/bfg9000/blob/refactor-cc-msvc/appveyor.yml#L151) (I added it because I was having a hard time figuring out which Appveyor job was which; their names were random strings of characters.) However, on Appveyor, I’ve always seen `Searching for reports disabled`, and it’s worked fine. It correctly generates the XML version of my coverage (it says `Generating coverage xml reports for Python`). Searching through your link, it looks like this is an Appveyor-specific thing: [https://github.com/codecov/codecov-python/blob/066706eb2fab6c0fbe7c8f35d9b4bf405bf5db9f/codecov/\_\_init\_\_.py#L719-L720](https://github.com/codecov/codecov-python/blob/066706eb2fab6c0fbe7c8f35d9b4bf405bf5db9f/codecov/%5C_%5C_init%5C_%5C_.py#L719-L720) For example, here’s a job from a previous commit on my master branch that says searching for reports is disabled, but I just called `codecov` with no options (after installing it via `pip install codecov`): [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jimporter/bfg9000/builds/34102725/job/pmyokxnf984qb4a0#L209). Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get the command `bash <(curl -s https://codecov.io/bash) -U "-s" -A "-s"` to work successfully on Appveyor (I tried cmd.exe, sh, and powershell syntaxes). I’ll keep poking at it to see if I can get some alternate spelling to work… ---

Hi @jimporter, I’ll take a deeper look at this, but I suggest ```auto curl -s https://codecov.io/bash | bash -s -- -U "-s" -A "-s" ``` ---

Cool, that works, and the coverage appears to be reported as expected! I’ll switch to using the Bash uploader. I plan to squash the commits and delete the `refactor-cc-msvc` branch that’s linked above, so some of the links above will 404. If it’s helpful, I’ll set up a branch that uses the codecov-python uploader so you have logs/commits to refer to for testing on your end (I’m not totally sure what info you’d need to fix the codecov-python uploader…) ---

Ok, here’s a branch with the broken behavior for testing: [Test out codecov-python for Appveyor · jimporter/bfg9000@da2f21d · GitHub](https://github.com/jimporter/bfg9000/commit/da2f21d3ae2b52d010d13ac6d019cf457a718f4a). I’ll keep this branch around for a while so you can refer to it if needed. On Appveyor, `coverage report` shows 99% coverage for `bfg9000/tools/msvc/ __init__.py`: [AppVeyor](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jimporter/bfg9000/builds/34146951/job/8at2q5jjy8fbxw31#L438) But on Codecov, this shows as 87%: [Codecov](https://codecov.io/gh/jimporter/bfg9000/src/da2f21d3ae2b52d010d13ac6d019cf457a718f4a/bfg9000/tools/msvc/_%5C_init__.py)
