### Description

Codecov fails to locate `.coverage` file. If specified with the `-f` flag, it reports “There was an error processing coverage reports.” The coverage reports are generated via `pytest-cov`, and build succeeds. This started happening after a PR was merged yesterday.

```auto

```

### Codecov Output

  Codecov report uploader 0.1.0

Error!: Error: No coverage files located, please try use `-f`, or change the project root with `-R`

```

Any idea of what could be happening? I apologize for not being able to share the repository.

Many thanks in advance

I’m having this issue as well. It’s also not causing my github actions workflow to fail which I think it should give that it’s throwing an error.
