v2 doesn't work

[Richard Russon]

According to the README.md v2 is,

It is a pre-release but will become the main supported version soon.

This is my working v1 config:

- name: Coveralls
  uses: coverallsapp/github-action@master
  with:
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    path-to-lcov: coverage.info

---

I gave v2 a go:

- name: Coveralls
  uses: coverallsapp/github-action@v2
  with:
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    file: coverage.info

Failed:

📄 Using coverage file: coverage.info
⚠️ Coverage reporter does not yet know how to process this file: coverage.info

Action log

---

The docs say that the file parameter is optional:

- name: Coveralls
  uses: coverallsapp/github-action@v2
  with:
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Failed:

Nothing to report

Let's try the old parameter, just in case:

- name: Coveralls
  uses: coverallsapp/github-action@v2
  with:
    github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    path-to-lcov: coverage.info

Failed:

📄 Using coverage file: coverage.info
⚠️ Coverage reporter does not yet know how to process this file: coverage.info

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

@Xyaneon is seems that we're missing the format param:

This works for me:

    - name: Coveralls
      uses: coverallsapp/github-action@v2
      with:
        github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        file: coverage.info
        format: lcov

Thanks to @snototter who figured it out.

Coveralls: You need to mention this in UPDATE.md and document how actions work in coverage-reporter.

@flatcap, I can confirm the same changes also work for me. Thanks to both you and @snototter! Hopefully Coveralls either updates their documentation or improves their file format detection.

Thank you all! I've updated the UPGRADE.md with the recommendation to use format. I'll close this issue, since the problem is resolved.
