[Question] coverage.xml written by the action

[ktbarrett]

I see in the output the following:

info - 2025-07-10 05:23:55,551 -- Generating coverage.xml report in /home/runner/work/coconext/coconext
info - 2025-07-10 05:23:55,853 -- Wrote XML report to coverage.xml

From here.

I take this as meaning the action is generating a file with that name in that directory, but that would overwrite the coverage.xml file created after calling coverage xml on a Python coverage project, and that doesn't seem to be happening. So then I assumed what's actually happening is that the action is calling coverage xml for me, but removing the call to coverage xml causes the action to fail with no discovered coverage files.

What am I missing? Is the output here just misleading?
