Automatic Test Coverage Not Executing Against lcov.info

[palisadoes]

Describe the bug

1. GitHub action for code coverage should fail, but it passes. It may not be activated in the action.
2. This used to work before.

Earlier today we added the coverage/ directory where the lcov.info file generated by the flutter test --coverage command and used by the genhtml to give the human readable output is located. We doubt that this is the cause of the issue, as it was failing earlier. This possibility should be included in your troubleshooting.

NOTE Upgrade to the latest version of very_good_coverage in the GitHub action

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run the following commands in sequence on your CLI (Make sure you have installed the lcov package first.

   flutter test --coverage
   genhtml coverage/lcov.info -o coverage
   

2. You will see in the penultimate line of the genhtml command output that the coverage is 30%.
3. Take a look at the GitHub actions pull request file.
   1. You will see that the VeryGoodOpenSource/very_good_coverage code coverage plugin that we are using has a min_coverage value of 32.
4. If you examine one of the latest pull request GitHub actions output.
   1. You will see that the codebase testing section with flutter test --coverage runs. We assume the lcov.info file is created.
   2. Then you will see that the Report code coverage section runs, but:
   3. The value of 32 > 30, so the action should fail. It does not.

Expected behavior
GitHub action for code coverage should fail.

Actual behavior
GitHub action for code coverage passes.

This is a reproduction of what you should expect from the CLI with 30% coverage.

$ flutter test --coverage
$ genhtml coverage/lcov.info -o coverage

I updated the original text about the GitHub Actions file and the GitHub actions execution provide a better description of the issue.
