Hi, I’m trying to use the new Codecov uploader to upload coverage run for a Python codebase running within Heroku CI. Since it’s not in GitHub Actions, it fails to retrieve the commit hash. We don’t use self-hosted enterprise so don’t have a slug. This is the output: * * * Codecov report uploader 0.1.0 [631](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:631)[2021-09-27T15:23:14.855Z] [‘info’] =\> Project root located at: /app [632](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:632)[2021-09-27T15:23:14.856Z] [‘info’] → Token found by arguments [633](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:633)[2021-09-27T15:23:15.034Z] [‘info’] Searching for coverage files… [634](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:634)[2021-09-27T15:23:15.298Z] [‘info’] =\> Found 1 possible coverage files: [635](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:635) coverage.xml [636](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:636)[2021-09-27T15:23:15.298Z] [‘info’] Processing /app/coverage.xml… [637](https://github.com/fractal/fractal/pull/4022/checks?check_run_id=3722191977#step:3:637)[2021-09-27T15:23:15.316Z] [‘info’] Detected Local as the CI provider.

@phosphene `slug` is the git repository slug e.g. `codecov/uploader` for `https://github.com/codecov/uploader`. ---

Cheers, I’ll give this a try – it’d be good to update the documentation, the -S flag doesn’t seem to exist and the slug is defined in the documentation as some enterprise-only feature ---

@philippemnoel yeah it’s indeed strange. It should have default values, but I’m not sure why you are getting errors here. Do you mind running in verbose mode and sharing the output? We could fix it with the `-S`, but I think I’d rather patch the uploader instead.
