Problems while adding a TestRail result with an attachment

Current behavior

I have been trying to add an attachment to a TestRail result using trcli, the test run and test results are all created correctly in TestRail, but when trying to upload attachments I am receiving the following error.

{
    "error": "No file attached or upload size was exceeded."
}

My invocation of trcli is as follows

#! /usr/bin/env bash

trcli -n \
    -h https://----/testrail \
    --project "M----y" \
    --username cmc----om \
    --key $TEST_RAIL_API_TOKEN \
    --verbose \
    parse_junit \
    --case-matcher "name" \
    --title "----" \
    --run-description "CLI results test 001" \
    --file "test_rail_junit.xml" \
    --suite-name "Master"

This is a snippet of my junit file

            <testcase name="C10....op" classname="RCD" time="15975.5312381">
                <properties>
                    <property name="testrail_attachment" value="/c/test.html"></property>
                </properties>
            </testcase>

Running the trcli tool with --verbose shows me all the API calls including the failing attachment API call.

**** API Call
method: POST
url: https://----/testrail/index.php?/api/v2/add_attachment_to_result/207425
response status code: 400
response body: {'error': 'No file attached or upload size was exceeded.'}
****
Submitted 1 test results in 7.2 secs.

If I confirm this last call in Postman, I get the same error.

Desired behavior

The API response would be OK and the attachment would appear in the test result

1. What is the size of that attachment you're trying to upload?
2. what is the absolute path of that attachment? It seems you're providing a absolute path, point to /c folder stored at root... is that correct?

[cmcclenaghan]

Hi. Thanks for the response

The attachment is only ~6MB, and I've tried with a nearly-empty file as well.

The file is located at the root of C:\, which is mapped by WSL as /c. Again, I've tried various locations and with absolute and relative paths in the JUnit file.

As I say, Postman (on Windows) is also giving me the same error response when I browse directly to the file.

thanks @cmcclenaghan , if you get the same error if you try to upload it directly to TR using the API, then the problem is on the API somehow. In this case, I would advise you to reach out TR support team providing an example of the API call you're doing and the error you're obtaining

[cmcclenaghan]

Fair enough. I have raised this as an API support request
