3418	coverage.el is uploaded to codecov	sajith	sajith	"I have seen some instances where running `codecov` in CircleCI is merely uploading `misc/coding_tools/coverage.el` (which is definitely not a coverage report!), and not `coverage.xml` or anything else actually related to code coverage.

I'm not sure if this happens because `coverage.xml` wasn't generated during some CircleCI runs, or because of any issues with `codecov` uploader itself. In the more recent CI runs I've looked at, we've been uploading both `coverage.xml` and `coverage.el`, so perhaps part of this problem has been already fixed.

I'm not sure uploading `coverage.el` does any harm, but it can't be doing anything useful either.

See this [[https://codecov.io/gh/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/commit/bce701d5bc810b71c07d2b7142a59aaac28a45e4/build|specific instance]], for an example of just `coverage.el` being uploaded:
