Codecov is using default branch for coverage and tests reports with workflows on feature branch push event

[qiuxiaomu]

I have 2 separate workflow files, one for build and the other one is for tests; once the build on commit parent finished successfully the test workflow will be triggered on the commit parent ( in this case it is a feature branch push).

Checking the checkout step I can confirm github runner pulled the correct feature branch. In the Codecov step though, with verbose turned on I can see the branch was develop.

What is the configuration that I need to let Codecov pick up the commit parent (feature branch) here?

@qiuxiaomu can you give more details here? A link to the CI or the output from the Codecov step?

[qiuxiaomu]

Sure thing @thomasrockhu-codecov; it is however a private project, so the CI link might not be accessible; but here's the verbose log from codecov, and thanks for taking the time to look into this!

It seems that Codecov did pick up the changes made on the commit parent as the coverage percentage got updated along with test reports; it's just the branch was still showing develop, the commit parent wasn't even in the list.
