Coveralls does not process xml generated by pytest-cov

hi, I generate coverage with pytest-cov. See below:

   - name: Test with pytest
      working-directory: ./components/gpio_control
      run: |
        pip install -r requirements.txt
        pytest --cov --cov-report xml
    - name: Report to Coveralls
      uses: coverallsapp/github-action@master
      with:
        github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        path-to-lcov: ./components/gpio_control/coverage.xml

When coveralls parses the xml it fails. Any ideas?

Using lcov file: ./components/gpio_control/coverage.xml
