v4
of the Codecov GitHub Action will use the Codecov CLI to upload coverage reports to Codecov.
- Tokenless uploading is unsupported. However, PRs made from forks to the upstream public repos will support tokenless (e.g. contributors to OSS projects do not need the upstream repo's Codecov token). For details, see our docs
- Various arguments to the Action have been removed
- For repositories using
Dependabot
, users will need to ensure that it has access to the Codecov token for PRs from Dependabot to upload coverage. To do this, please add yourCODECOV_TOKEN
as a Dependabot Secret. For more information, see "Configuring access to private registries for Dependabot."
v3
versions and below will not have access to CLI features (e.g. global upload token, ATS).
To integrate Codecov with your Actions pipeline, specify the name of this repository with a tag number (@v4
is recommended) as a step
within your workflow.yml
file.
This Action also requires you to provide an upload token from codecov.io (tip: in order to avoid exposing your token, store it as a secret
).
Currently, the Action will identify linux, macos, and windows runners. However, the Action may misidentify other architectures. The OS can be specified as
- alpine
- alpine-arm64
- linux
- linux-arm64
- macos
- windows
Inside your .github/workflows/workflow.yml
file:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@main
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
with:
fail_ci_if_error: true # optional (default = false)
files: ./coverage1.xml,./coverage2.xml # optional
flags: unittests # optional
name: codecov-umbrella # optional
token: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }} # required
verbose: true # optional (default = false)
The Codecov token can also be passed in via environment variables:
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@main
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
with:
fail_ci_if_error: true # optional (default = false)
files: ./coverage1.xml,./coverage2.xml # optional
flags: unittests # optional
name: codecov-umbrella # optional
verbose: true # optional (default = false)
env:
CODECOV_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }}
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. Keep in mind that secrets are not available to forks of repositories.
For users with OpenID Connect(OIDC) enabled, the Codecov token is not necessary. You can use OIDC with the use_oidc
argument as following.
- uses: codecov/codecov-action@v4
with:
use_oidc: true
Any token supplied will be ignored, as Codecov will default to the OIDC token for verification.
