To check this, you will need to expand the coverage upload step in your CI to see if there's any errors. If either one of these failed, Codecov did not receive the report and you will need to upload it again.
- Try the Codecov uploader. If you're using a language specific uploader: Try and see if using the uploader resolves the issue.
- Try using the -d flag of the Codecov uploader to verify that are you are not uploading empty reports.
- Try using the -v flag of Codecov uploader. This will provide additional diagnostic messages and can help troubleshoot potential problems.
