This is the command i use for pytest
pytest -v --color=yes --cov-report "xml:coverage.xml" --junitxml=pytest.xml --cov=. tests/integration_tests/ | tee pytest-coverage.txt

this is the comment section

    - name: Pytest coverage comment
      uses: MishaKav/pytest-coverage-comment@main
      with:
        pytest-coverage-path: pytest-coverage.txt
        junitxml-path: pytest.xml

It looks like your file has a bad format or empty, try to identify what exists inside the file.

I can suggest running simple cat command, to see the content of the file, something like:

  - name: check content file
    run: cat ./pytest-coverage.txt

The format of file will be good if it contains every word like this https://github.com/MishaKav/pytest-coverage-comment/blob/main/src/parse.js#L10-L18

looks like your report doesn't have the coverage information. If you can't see the coverage information on terminal, this action can do anything with this.
The action works when pytest generate the coverage table in the terminal.

You are right, this was missing: --cov-report=term

[Misha Kav]

Seems like --cov-report=term fix the problem. Closing this issue.
