GitHub checks not being reported for public repo

Before submitting a topic, please confirm the following

I have verified that my repository is using the Codecov GitHub app, if using GitHub
I have validated my codecov.yaml configuration file.
I have filled out the below sections to the best of my ability.

Description

I have a personal public repository hosted on GitHub. Around 6 months ago I had Codecov configured and running properly on the repo, with both project and patch checks being properly reported. A couple of days ago I noticed I had a dependabot PR open, so I started doing some housekeeping, and I noticed the Codecov checks were in the “Expected” status, as they had been set as required by me months ago.

I tried to re-run the workflow but because the config was too old, I decided to review the integration and upgrade all of my actions. By the way, I also checked logs and the reports were being properly generated and sent to Codecov. The only issue was the missing checks.

Here is a summary of what I tried to do to get them properly reported: (not necessarily in order)

  • Went to Codecov’s website, which asked me for extra scopes/permissions for GitHub.
  • Removed the integration from GitHub and installed it again.
  • Removed and added permissions for this specific repo.
  • Installed the application in GitHub’s marketplace.
  • Upgraded all of my GitHub actions to v3 (many were in v1).
  • Noticed that a previously configured webhook had been failing with a 403 and deleted it, hoping it would be readded but apparently it is not used anymore.
  • Removed the codecov token I had been using because it was not required for public repos.

Expected Results

The GitHub checks should have been reported in my PR.

Actual Results

No GitHub checks ever got reported, despite all the changes to make it work. Codecov is still commenting in the PR with the report overview, but the checks are missing.

@pauloavelar I’m not positive the branches field in the codecov.yml supports regex. Could you try replacing it with

- "main"

instead?

Hi Tom. Thanks for the quick reply.

The [ main ] was supposed to be just a shorthand for an array declaration in YAML, not regex. I ran the yml file in the validator and apparently it was valid.

That said, you made me reconsider my config file, and I was not really looking at it and focused mostly on the actions. I removed all of the advanced config from it, as most of it was redundant, and it worked! So it was indeed most likely the branches config.

I am wondering how this could have been clearer, and definitely something broke along the way, because the file was not changed for nearly 2 years and at some point the checks worked.

Anyway, thank you very much for the tip.
