@nmoinvaz can you run this in verbose mode?

Verbose shows nearly the same response.

Was there something you were looking for?

Mar 03 '25 17:03 nmoinvaz

Maybe this has to do with skip_validation: true

Mar 03 '25 21:03 nmoinvaz

@nmoinvaz oh! good catch, Ill push out a fix this week

Mar 03 '25 23:03 thomasrockhu-codecov

Hi Thomas, just checking in to see if you were able to push this fix. Thanks!

Mar 07 '25 16:03 nmoinvaz

Bump? :-)

Mar 14 '25 22:03 nmoinvaz

Sorry @nmoinvaz this was a little more complicated than I expected. Hoping to get something out next week

Mar 15 '25 05:03 thomasrockhu-codecov

Thanks! 🙏🏻

Mar 15 '25 14:03 nmoinvaz

Any word?

Mar 29 '25 16:03 nmoinvaz

Hey @thomasrockhu-codecov how's it going?

May 06 '25 00:05 nmoinvaz

@nmoinvaz apologies, working on this today

May 17 '25 15:05 thomasrockhu-codecov

Sorry to bug you again. :-(

Jul 01 '25 03:07 nmoinvaz

@nmoinvaz, I'm sorry, I should have gotten something out for this sooner. I'll be working on it Thursday, thanks for your incredible patience

Jul 09 '25 04:07 thomasrockhu-codecov

Thanks I'm looking forward to it!

Jul 10 '25 20:07 nmoinvaz

Running into some issues on my end, still working on it!

Jul 11 '25 04:07 thomasrockhu-codecov

Just wanted to bump that I'm also hitting this still despite the fix--but probably because the main repo isn't using the latest wrapper? I did submit a PR to update that in order to fix #1863

I'm still getting the same error even when trying @main in my GH action.

Aug 19 '25 05:08 nmoinvaz

@jviall @nmoinvaz this is my fault, I thought I had made a new release. I'll do that today

Aug 19 '25 13:08 thomasrockhu-codecov

@nmoinvaz oh you mentioned main is also failing, can you shoot over a PR you see it on if possible?

Aug 19 '25 13:08 thomasrockhu-codecov

@nmoinvaz oh you mentioned main is also failing, can you shoot over a PR you see it on if possible?

It's because main is still referencing an old version of the wrapper (0.2.1). It's not targeting main but you can see the error occurring in this CI run of mine on a different project. I already put up a PR to try to upgrade the version of the wrapper--@thomasrockhu-codecov could you give it a review?

Aug 19 '25 14:08 jviall

@jviall @nmoinvaz, I just pushed 5.5.0, let me know if that is working for you!

Aug 20 '25 14:08 thomasrockhu-codecov

@thomasrockhu-codecov works good thank you! Feel free to close this.
