Feedback

The CODACY_API_BASE_URL must not end in "/" (e.g. https://codacy.somwhere.com vs https://codacy.somwhere.com/) or the upload fails with the error:

Error [CodacyCoverageReporter] Failed to upload coverage report /builds/my-project/opencover.xml: Request URL not found. Check if the project API Token you are using and the API base URL are valid.  - (CodacyCoverageReporter.scala:25)

This should at least be clarified in the documentation, although one could argue this is a big that the code should handle gracefully.

Thank you @aarongoldenthal for providing this feedback.

We're working on letting the Codacy Coverage Reporter accept URLs with the trailing slash, so we don't have to ask users to leave it out. In the meanwhile, I'll leave this issue open until we release the fix. 👍

The Codacy Coverage Reporter now accepts the CODACY_API_BASE_URL even if it includes a trailing slash (/) since version 11.7.3.
