[Request] Pin Coveralls Reporter in the orb

[mrenoe]

Currently, the orb is failing when the binary coverage-reporter has a broken build (see coverallsapp/coverage-reporter#124 and coverallsapp/coverage-reporter#119).

This causes our build process within CircleCI to break and requires us to turn off Coveralls until a fix is put in place.

Since the orb has versions and we pin the version of the orb, can there be a related pinned version of the Orb that we update and test to ensure it works reliably?

@mrenoe thanks for the suggestion. (It's a +1 that's been in our backlog.) It will be a very helpful feature of both of our CI extensions, our CircleCI Orb and our GitHub Action.

It's in the hopper this week, along with the parallel feature for our Orb.

I'll post updates here and here (in a public issue tracking the Orb feature).

Thank you @afinetooth! Looking forward to it!

Just TB with a quick update:

We just released this feature for our GitHub Action. We are still WIP on our Orb. I will update status here.

@mrenoe The latest release of the Coveralls Orb for CircleCI (v2.2.3) supports the coverage_reporter_version parameter for the upload command. Documentation here.

Thanks for your patience. 🙏
