[https://codecov.io/gh/es-shims/es-set/tree/main/lib](https://codecov.io/gh/es-shims/es-set/tree/main/lib) refers to a repo that has a “lib” dir, but has no build process and thus has no “src” dir.

However, the links to individual files on that page include “src” in the URL - a string that does not appear anywhere in the repository. Those links give me a 404 with a hint about path fixing - but if i manually change the “src” in the URL to “lib”, i get to a page slightly closer to what i expect: [https://codecov.io/gh/es-shims/es-map/tree/main/lib/helpers.js](https://codecov.io/gh/es-shims/es-map/tree/main/lib/helpers.js) (but it’s probably also a bug that this page loads, since this path isn’t a “tree” at all)

Is the relationship between the purely conventional “src → lib” hardcoded somewhere inside codecov? Is there a way I can avoid needing a codecov.yml in my repo to be able to drill down into these files?

@ljharb, I think I’m missing something. I can click on those links without a problem. Can you give a more step-by-step reproduction?

Hmm, it works for me now. Perhaps the links 404’d until the coverage data was processed, at which point it began to work?

Hmm… that would be my guess. If you are able to reproduce, let me know and we can dig into it. As far as I know, we don’t do any `src -> lib` assumptions.
