Passing secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN not recognized

Having set up the secret CODECOV_TOKEN and passing it as ${{ secrets.CODECOV_TOKEN }} the upload fails with the message:

HTTP 400
Please provide the repository token to upload reports via `-t :repository-token`

This is both for v1 and v1.0.5 of codecov-action.

It seems that the action’s environment variable CODECOV_TOKEN is not set properly or not recognized?

It should be mentioned that this has recently started failing, without changing the actions workflow otherwise, i.e., it used to work, but now throws this error.

Hi @CasperWA, thanks for bringing this up! You’re right, secrets are not available for forks of repositories, therefore the token wasn’t available when you tried to upload to Codecov from the forked repository. I’ll push an update to our readme soon because it’s definitely worth clarifying

With regards to tokenless uploads, we do plan to support them when GitHub releases an API for Actions around early 2020.

@thomasrockhu Oh thanks! Reading about the issue earlier in other discussions, switching to the latest version didn’t seem to help them. But apparently I should have tried it out, because it works!
