TypeError: Cannot read property 'startsWith' of undefined

Hi, we run Codecov with npx codecov --token=${CODECOV_TOKEN} and starting from last week we started seeing these sporadic errors:

==> Building file structure
==> Generating gcov reports (skip via --disable=gcov)
    $ find /home/circleci/repo/frontend -type f -name '*.gcno'  -exec gcov  {} +
    Failed to run gcov command.
==> Scanning for reports
    + /home/circleci/repo/frontend/coverage/clover.xml
    + /home/circleci/repo/frontend/coverage/lcov.info
==> Uploading reports
/home/circleci/.npm/_npx/56c18755c3006eff/node_modules/teeny-request/build/src/agents.js:30
    var isHttp = uri.startsWith('http://');
                     ^

Running the CI build again usually fixes it, are you aware of the issue?

@FezVrasta I think we were having some issues server-side that had us not returning a proper uri. Are you still experiencing this issue?

To be clear, we should fix the uploader to be more transparent of the error as opposed to what you saw here, but I wanted to make sure you weren't blocked.

[FezVrasta]

I still experienced this problem yesterday. I'll keep it monitored today. Thanks!

I'm seeing the same error with the same stack trace now... How can we workaround this?

[FezVrasta]

I can confirm I'm still seeing these errors.

[FezVrasta]

Considered Codecov doesn't seem to be interested in fixing this issue I suppose for now I'll go with npx retry-cli -n 3 -- npx codecov --token=${CODECOV_TOKEN} but we'll likely get rid of codecov all together at some point.

I am running in to this as well. To be honest the Codecov sign up / Github connection / setup process leaves a lot to be desired.

[FezVrasta]

Update, we had to remove it because the retry trick didn't work

[tsuz]

This can be worked around by using bash version of codecov so that

codecov -f ./coverage/coverage-final.json

becomes

bash <(curl -s https://codecov.io/bash) -f ./coverage/coverage-final.json

hope this helps.

Having the same issue. If, maybe, they're still investigating the issue, at least a workaround from codecov would be nice.
