There was is one paper[0] where 4 candidates were tested on a number of animal species. In all but one variant, immunity was successfully conferred by the vaccine.
However, in all successful cases, the vaccines triggered some sort of autoimmune response wherin upon exposure to the pathogen post vaccination, lung damage resulted[0].
Now I believe this has something to do with another nefarious speculated property of SARS-CoV-2: Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE). Can't find the original source but here[1] researchers also speculate about ADE. The gist is that your antibodies, instead of neutralizing the virus, actually enhance its ability to enter your cells[2]. I don't know if this is confirmed, but multiple sources have made the suggestion. If this is the case, typical vaccines actually may be dangerous. Now I'm not not an expert but I believe there is a way to create a vaccine which avoids ADE, but AFAIK that hasn't been done for the previous SARS strain. This was a problem with MERS too btw.
