"Unable to locate build via Github Actions API" after switching to v2 action, v1 works fine

[chris48s]

After receiving an email about the pending deprecation of the bash uploader, I decided to start migrating my repos to use the v2 uploader.

I tried switching one of my repos to the v2 (binary) uploader: chris48s/django-apiblueprint-view@c029bae

Unfortunately the upload is failing with the error:

['error'] Error POSTing to https://codecov.io: 404 {'detail': ErrorDetail(string='Unable to locate build via Github Actions API. Please upload with the Codecov repository upload token to resolve issue.', code='not_found')}
['error'] There was an error running the uploader: Error uploading to https://codecov.io: Error: Not Found

As I understand the docs, public repos should still be able to upload coverage from GH actions without a token.
I switched the repo back to use the v1 (bash) uploader: chris48s/django-apiblueprint-view@77518ba and that fixes it.

I'm also running into this uploader issue, which is currently being addressed by the codecov team.

Here are the related links:

• https://community.codecov.com/t/public-repositories-can-no-longer-upload-coverage-with-error-unable-to-locate-build-via-azure-api/3242/12
• [CODE-842] Uploader fails from public project in Azure Pipelines without token uploader#421 (comment)
• Add slug to uploads from Azure Pipelines uploader#426

[chris48s]

Ah thanks for the links 👍 I checked for other issues on this repo to see if anyone else had already reported this but I did not know to check on https://github.com/codecov/uploader

[ktdreyer]

I'm also seeing this error with v1.

[nhatthm]

I think it's fixed. I just retriggered the jobs and all good now

Update: it's flapping

Update 2: Back again

Update 3: Down again

Update 4: Back. It smells like a rate limiter issue

[tomvothecoder]

This issue looks like it is resolved after codecov/uploader#426 was merged and https://github.com/codecov/uploader/releases/tag/v0.1.6 was released.

[chris48s]

Can confirm this is now resolved - thanks 👍

[ssbarnea]

I am not sure to which extent this was fixed because lately I seen more and more random errors like this. https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-lint/runs/5625894991?check_suite_focus=true

[jab]

Same here. Should this issue be reopened as long as this is still affecting users?

[ssbarnea]

TBH, this proved to be a major cause of build failures and the solution would be to make the action itself have an implicit retry logic with delay, maybe even with 5min.

99% of failures are transient and retries would succeed, so I hope they will do the right think and implement that, especially as it is impossible for the consumers to do the same, due to the limitation of workflows.
