### Description

When running the Python codecov uploader on the GitLab CI, something is successfully sent to [codecov.io](http://codecov.io) but the dashboard indicates there was an error processing the coverage report. The output from running the codecov uploader indicates that somehow only the coveragerc file is being uploaded, despite the fact that the coverage report is generated successfully.

### Steps to Reproduce

This [CI job](https://gitlab.com/LMSAL_HUB/aia_hub/aiapy/-/jobs/601988019) shows each step to reproduce the issue. However, I’ve found that I cannot reproduce this locally.

**Expected behavior:** A valid coverage report is uploaded to [codecov.io](http://codecov.io) each time the CI is run.

**Actual behavior:** Something is uploaded to [codecov.io](http://codecov.io), but the coverage report cannot be processed

**Flakiness?** This happens every time when running codecov on the GitLab CI

Hi @wtbarnes, looks like we aren’t able to find the coverage report being generated. You can use these arguments to specify the [file](https://github.com/codecov/codecov-bash/blob/master/codecov#L97) or [directory](https://github.com/codecov/codecov-bash/blob/master/codecov#L107). Are you able to echo where the coverage report is being stored on the CI/CD?

Hi @tom. Yes, the issue was that my coverage reports were not being generated even when I thought they were. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for your help!
