How to add an attachment to a test result from the command line?

0
Liora Milbaum (513●2●82●117) | asked Aug 26 '14, 10:04 a.m.

I am using the RQM URL Utility to update Test Result attributes, but, I have no idea how to add an attachment.
Is it possible using the same tool or are there other utilities which can do the job?

Thanks,
Liora

When we do this (although using the REST calls directly rather than using the RQMURLUtility) we take two steps:

Upload the attachment by POSTing to the attachment feed. Presumably this is what the Attachment upload example of using RQMURLUtility is doing. The result of this is a slug that identifies the attachment.

    We then PUT the execution result (see the artifact upload example) to include the link to the uploaded attachment. For example, we add the xml such as the following:
(for some reason I am finding it hard to show all the xml in this answer - it keeps getting truncated). 
<ns2:executionresult>
   other elements
   <ns2:attachment href="...link to created attachment.../>
</ns2:executionresult>

Colin, I've received by mail the full xml. Checking your suggestion.

Colin, How does the slug returned?  The standard output doesn't specify the slug nor I can find an argument which returns it.


Thanks,
Liora

Hi Liora,
The slug Id is randomly generated and returned in the response headers, as mentioned in this article.

You can also check out my answer in the bottom of this post where I showed the sequence of creating a test plan.

Sorry for not answering earlier (I was on vacation).


Exactly as Donald said in the previous comment, we use the Content-Location in the response header to get the slug id.

Colin.

Donald/Colin,


How do I retrieve the response header in case I used RQMUrlUtility to POST the attachment?

Thanks,
Liora

What artifact are you going to upload the attachments to?

Thanks Donald,

The wiki states how do I upload an attachment but there is not relation to specific artifact. 
I want the add the attachment to a specific test result which already exist.

Please use another HTTP client/utility that supports response headers (e.g. HTTP Requester or Poster - see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#Common_Usage_Scenarios).

No longer working with the tool. Can't help you. Sorry.

Did you check the Content-Location response header (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#HTTP_Responses).  Also, note https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#ResourcesFootnote6.

See RQMUrlUtility - Return the attachment slug (128026).
