### Description

I’ve finally got a 4-job GitHub Actions CI workflow reporting all CodeCov reports correctly, as reported here: [Codecov](https://app.codecov.io/gh/publiclab/plots2/compare/9909) (it seems a little lower than the 80% I knew before but… closer than earlier attempts).

The PR is: [add wait\_for\_ajax for barnstar system test by jywarren · Pull Request #9909 · publiclab/plots2 · GitHub](https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/pull/9909)

However the reported coverage in GitHub’s check is 59.59% (-22.56%).

If you look at the commits, that’s one behind the most recent assessment, so it skips the final merge commit listed at [Codecov](https://app.codecov.io/gh/publiclab/plots2/compare/9909/commits) which would bring it up to 74%.

### Uploader

It’s uploading via the codecov gem. The results were the same using the CodeCov GitHub Action, which I tested earlier.

### Codecov Output

In mine it’s done in 4 different jobs; but here is the final job:

```auto

```

### Expected Results

I would expect it to either wait until the final job is complete before reporting a status check, OR to update once it got the last report.

### Actual Results

It seems to have reported a failure due to lower than expected coverage because it didn’t wait until the final job report uploaded, or it didn’t re-report after that.

### Additional Information

For commenting, i set `after_n_builds` to 4, which is a really nice feature:

> <https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/blob/3d3de3f43256c8195c575ec07060d3b783cd3c62/codecov.yml#L6>

However i don’t see a way to tell CodeCov to wait on the status check until 4 builds. That would solve this problem.

Thank you, i love CodeCov!!!

Hi @jywarren I think you’re looking for [notify#after\_n\_builds](https://docs.codecov.com/docs/codecovyml-reference#codecovnotifyafter_n_builds)
