Answer 1

Check the latest correct doc here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/artifacts_reports.html#artifactsreportscoverage_report

Some of the docs are in somewhat of a messy state right now, due to the new release as mentioned.

This was the fix for me:

  artifacts:
    expire_in: 2 days
    reports:
      coverage_report:
        coverage_format: cobertura
        path: python_app/coverage.xml

Brainwashing

For more context. As documented here docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/… the old configuration format for cobertura was deprecated in GitLab 14.7 and removed in GitLab 15.0. – Chaunce

Answer 2

GitLab has removed Cobetura reports.

From their 15.0 release notes

We are reducing the number of analyzers used in GitLab SAST as part of our long-term strategy to deliver a better and more consistent user experience. Streamlining the set of analyzers will also enable faster iteration, better results, and greater efficiency (including a reduction in CI runner usage in most cases).

I'm not sure it was removed. In the commit you mentioned, it's being removed. However in the same file we have cobertura as a valid format – Tepefy

@MoacirRosa thanks for the info. I also see a new answer with an updated config. I'll try it out. – Palmitin
