I am attempting to upload a test result to a test execution, but i am getting : "Result is not valid Xray Format"

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hello @Mark Holloway 

but i am getting : "Result is not valid Xray Format"

The error message is probably correct.

If you refer to the XRay JSON Format documentation, it says the testExecutionKey object should be declared at the top level:

{
  "tests" []
  "info" {}
  "testExecutionKey": "string"
}

but you declared it inside the info object. 

The info object documentation seems to confirm this, as it does not include testExecutionKey.

If you take the time to review the XRay JSON Format documentation more closely, you might find more mistakes!

Any assistance <is> greatly appreciated

You're welcome!
