Attaching evidence to a test execution API POST

[Scott Maitland]

Hi,

Scenario:

I am using Java + TM4J REST API to do a GET request on a test cycle, and test all the test cases that live within that cycle, before then doing a test execution POST to return the results of the tests when they are complete. As part of this, my program captures a screenshot of the browser at point of test failure and stores this locally within the project as a PNG image. All works so far..

Issue:

If you run a test execution through the GUI, you can copy and paste an image in or use the upload file to attach the image.

I cannot seem to work out however, or find any resource on how to use Java to attach an image or to paste in the image as part of the test steps or comments of that test execution. There is no API endpoints (checked with Adaptivist themselves on that) but there must be some way of getting around this problem by passing the image along with the api POST as part of the JSON body. 

Thankful for any help regarding this.
