codecov-action: [v4] Error: Write EPIPE

When switching from a working v3 setup to the new v4, we encounter this error 10-20% of the time in a high volume monorepo. Re-runs succeed on the 2nd or 3rd try. We do host our own GitHub runners.

Also a quick shoutout for https://github.com/codecov/codecov-action/issues/926 - if we had builtin retries this would be much less of a problem.

Same here, I actually created an issue a few seconds after you 😄 https://github.com/codecov/codecov-action/issues/1281

I spoke too soon:

@houserx-jmcc sorry for the delay here. I implemented retries and wanted to see if this will work for you.

In your CI, would you be able to replace the action with

@houserx-jmcc got it, yeah, let me work on implementing retries for this

thomasrockhu-codecov on Apr 30, 2024

@thomasrockhu-codecov correct, only happening sometimes. 1-2 retries of the same job in a workflow will usually succeed if the first time failed.

houserx-jmcc on Apr 30, 2024

Got it @houserx-jmcc @Jolg42, to be clear this not an always thing (for reproducibility)?

thomasrockhu-codecov on Apr 30, 2024

@houserx-jmcc no it is, sorry I was doing some cleanup on my side
