# Community board archiving

Due to the recent open-sourcing of Codecov’s repositories and the push to increase transparency with our users, the Codecov team has decided to deprecate the community boards and set it to an archival status. We will be using our [feedback repository](https://github.com/codecov/feedback/) to collect any and all support questions.

We intend to deprecate the boards on October 31, 2023. We will continue to monitor and respond to any topics opened on this forum until that time.

## Before submitting a topic, please confirm the following

I have read the Community board archiving section above.  
 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

A bit similar to [Unable to publish codecov reports for public repository](https://community.codecov.com/t/unable-to-publish-codecov-reports-for-public-repository/3931) one of our recently created repo stuck on private state.  
[GitHub - opensearch-project/automation-app: 🤖 An automation app to handle the daily activities of your GitHub Repository.](https://github.com/opensearch-project/automation-app)

### CI/CD URL

[https://github.com/opensearch-project/automation-app/actions/runs/11078806591/job/30786789771](https://github.com/opensearch-project/automation-app/actions/runs/11078806591/job/30786789771)

### Codecov Output

Please provide the full output of running the uploader on your CI/CD. This will typically have the Codecov logo as ASCII.

```auto
info - 2024-09-27 23:04:54,683 -- Found 3 coverage files to report
info - 2024-09-27 23:04:54,683 -- > /home/runner/work/automation-app/automation-app/coverage/lcov.info
info - 2024-09-27 23:04:54,683 -- > /home/runner/work/automation-app/automation-app/coverage/clover.xml
info - 2024-09-27 23:04:54,683 -- > /home/runner/work/automation-app/automation-app/coverage/coverage-final.json
info - 2024-09-27 23:04:54,857 -- Process Upload complete
error - 2024-09-27 23:04:54,858 -- Upload failed: {"message":"Token required because repository is private"}

```

### Expected Results

We already set the CODECOV\_TOKEN and it still says we are not, and calling it is a private repo while we already make it public.

### Actual Results

Upload failed: {“message”:“Token required because repository is private”}

### Additional Information

Please provide applicable commit SHAs or file names that are extraneous or missing. Any additional information, configuration, or data that might be necessary to reproduce the issue.

Thanks.
