## Before submitting a topic, please confirm the following [✅] I have searched for similar issues before creating this topic. [✅] I have verified that my repository is using the [Codecov GitHub app](https://github.com/apps/codecov), if using GitHub [✅] I have [validated](https://docs.codecov.com/docs/codecov-yaml#validate-your-repository-yaml) my `codecov.yaml` configuration file. [✅] I have filled out the below sections to the best of my ability. [✅] I understand that the community boards are a free, best-effort tool. While we hope to have someone on the Codecov team resolve your problem quickly, this is not always possible. ### 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. ```auto coverage: status: project: off patch: default: if_no_uploads: success if_not_found: success ``` ### CI/CD URL private repository ```auto _____ _ / ____ | | | | | _____ | | ______ _______ | | / _ \ / _` |/ _ \/ __/ _ \ \ / / | |___| (_) | (_| |__/ (_| (_) \ V / \ _____\___ / \ __,_|\___ |\ ___\___ / \_/ Codecov report uploader 0.6.1 [2023-07-22T07:42:43.258Z] ['info'] => Project root located at: /var/www/hogehoge [2023-07-22T07:42:43.260Z] ['info'] -> Token found by arguments [2023-07-22T07:42:43.273Z] ['info'] Searching for coverage files...

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](https://docs.codecov.com/docs/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 let me get back to you. I know that some development has been done for it, but I’m not sure about the current state. ---

@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](https://github.com/codecov/feedback/issues/108) to track since our community boards will soon be in a read-only mode.
