Error message "Token required because repository is private"

[ruokun-niu]

Hi Codecov,

I am trying to use the Codecov github actions in my public repo (https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-core). Specifically, I am testing by creating a PR from a forked branch. However, I ran into the following error

info - 2024-10-08 16:45:46,986 -- The PR is happening in a forked repo. Using tokenless upload.
info - 2024-10-08 16:45:47,254 -- Process Commit creating complete
debug - 2024-10-08 16:45:47,254 -- Commit creating result --- {"result": "RequestResult(error=RequestError(code='HTTP Error 400', params={}, description='{\"message\":\"Token required because repository is private\"}\\n'), warnings=[], status_code=400, text='{\"message\":\"Token required because repository is private\"}\\n')"}
error - 2024-10-08 16:45:47,254 -- Commit creating failed: {"message":"Token required because repository is private"}

My repository was once private when we set codecov up, and we have changed the visibility to public couple weeks ago. Any idea why this is happening?

We have the same issue

@ruokun-niu can you try on v5?

@BAStos525 can you post the Codecov output or link to CI?

first time trying codecov, getting this issue consistently on my public repo with v5.0.7

it additionally seems strange that it continues after it has already failed, which to me indicates a low quality implementation, and since I need confidence in my code quality tools, I now have no desire to use Codecov

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@mbrock can you send me a link to CI for this?

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu @BAStos525 gentle bumps

[ruokun-niu]

Hey @thomasrockhu-codecov , sorry for the late update. Somehow I did not receive the notification at first. I'll give this a try today or tomorrow

[ruokun-niu]

Hi @thomasrockhu-codecov , I attempted to use codecov/codecov-action@v5, but the workflow failed with the following error

error - 2024-12-05 21:49:13,845 -- Upload failed: {"message":"Token required - not valid tokenless upload"}

Link to workflow: https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-core/actions/runs/12188485129/job/34001570398
link to coverage.yml: https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-core/blob/codecov-test/.github/workflows/coverage.yaml

This is a branch in a public repository

[ruokun-niu]

We have also disabled token authentication

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu got it, taking a look!

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu do you mind running this in verbose mode?

[ruokun-niu]

@thomasrockhu-codecov here is the log from verbose mode

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu thank you, do you mind re-running again? We made a fix on our side

[ruokun-niu]

Hi @thomasrockhu-codecov , here is the latest output https://github.com/drasi-project/drasi-core/actions/runs/12215319341/job/34900213362

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu do you mind re-running CI? I think I figured out the issue on our side

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu just wanted to message back here and see what I can do to help

[ruokun-niu]

Hi @thomasrockhu-codecov , sorry I ran the workflow last week but I completed forgot about and went to worked on something else.
This is the result we got:
https://gist.github.com/ruokun-niu/3a1eaeb8725869a1ef2de1e1ae65f4b6

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu based on the timing, I suspect it was this incident. Can you re-run?

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu just wanted to ping back about this

[ruokun-niu]

Hi @thomasrockhu-codecov , it seems like I am getting this error again https://gist.github.com/ruokun-niu/25917ffd9822668010134ff1131dd0f2

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu sorry, one more time. Apologies for the back and forth

[ruokun-niu]

Hi @thomasrockhu-codecov , thanks for following up. This time the upload worked 😃 ! I'll merge this to main and test this with a PR

[thomasrockhu-codecov]

@ruokun-niu woo hoo! Glad it worked!
