Description

Condition:
We are using codebuild to send coverage files to codecov.
We are using codecov for rspec.
On github, we have made the success of codecov’s patch status a mandatory condition for merging.

Question:
If there are no changes related to rspec, for example, if there are only changes to the frontend code, we do not want to run rspec. As a result, there will be no coverage file. In that state, we want to make the codecov’s status successful.

We have the codecov.yml setting as follows.

coverage:
  status:
    project: off
    patch:
      default:
        if_no_uploads: success
        if_not_found: success

Actual Results

Codecov status is as follows
「Expected — Waiting for status to be reported」

Additional Information

To begin with, I’m not sure if there’s a need to send a report to Codecov when the if_no_uploads setting is in place. This is because there’s no report that needs to be sent in the first place.

@yokei-dev let me get back to you tomorrow, I know our product team is working on something like this

@yokei-dev ok, so what I know so far is that this being worked on via the Codecov CLI. I don’t have word yet as to the functionality of it, but I’ll let you know when I do. I would suggest trying out the CLI to make sure that it’s working properly for you, so when the feature comes out (I would guess in a month or less), the transfer over is smooth.

Thanks!
Does that mean its functionality is currently under development?

@yokei-dev as far as I know, yes!

@yokei-dev I believe this is in some working state, but we don’t have any docs to share. I made a post in our feedback repo to track since our community boards will soon be in a read-only mode.
