Codecov GitHub Action

Easily upload coverage reports to Codecov from GitHub Actions

Usage

To integrate Codecov with your Actions pipeline, specify the name of this repository with a tag number as a step within your workflow.yml file. Optionally, you can choose to include up to four different inputs to customize the upload context.

Inside your .github/workflows/workflow.yml file:

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@master
- uses: actions/codecov-action@v1
  with:
    token: ${{secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN}} #for private repos
    file: ./coverage.xml #optional
    flags: unittests #optional
    name: codecov-umbrella #optional

Note

: This assumes that you've set your Codecov token inside Settings > Secrets as CODECOV_TOKEN. If not, you can get an upload token for your specific repo on codecov.io. A token is not required for public repositories.

Arguments

Codecov's Action currently supports four inputs from the user: token, file, flags, and name. These inputs, along with their descriptions and usage contexts, are listed in the table below:

Input	Description	Usage
token	Used to authorize coverage report uploads	Required only for private repos
file	Location of the coverage report	Optional
flags	Flag upload under a certain group	Optional
name	Custom defined name for the upload	Optional
