Unable to upload file that contain test cases that already exist in the same TestRail suite

TestRail CLI Version

1.7.0

CLI Environment

MacOS Sonoma 14.1.1; Python 3.11.6; Playwright 1.39.0

TestRail Version

8.0.2 Default (3138)

TestRail Instance Type

Enterprise Cloud

Current behavior

After running a suite of tests and successfully uploading the junit-report.xml file, attempting to upload the same suite for a new run yields an error (attached). Argument --case-matcher auto is being leveraged as a part of the trcli command

Desired behavior

When uploading a file that has a test suite that contains test cases that have already been upload to process and present additional runs, add any new test cases that do not exist in the suite already and ignore test cases that already exist within TestRail.

More Details

Side note:

• We originally prevented from successfully uploading the file until I provided a name for the <testsuites> tag in the junit-report.xml file using PLAYWRIGHT_JUNIT_SUITE_NAME=<suitename> as a part of my command line run of npx playwright test
• Previous versions of trcli also do not yield the desired result. It either dupes the suite or test cases in suite.
• case-fieldsdon't appear to pass their value into the newly created test cases uploaded

[sampson-automation]

Made some adjustments to the TestRail instance and it seemed to do the trick. We recreated the automation_id in TestRail admin as a string instead of a text field and I can now upload junit-report.xml result files with the same tests without error, them being duplicated in the suite and the suite not being duplicated.
