Add attachment to test execution using XRay REST API

[Gaurav Verma]

We are currently evaluating XRay JIRA plugin for Test management. I have got the REST API working by using the documentation here http://confluence.xpand-it.com/display/XRAY/REST+API

As part of our automated test runs screen shots are taken for failed tests.We would like to upload attachments as evidence for test executions. 

How can we upload these attachments for a test execution using REST API?

Hi Gaurav,

to attach evidences, you have to use the "evidences" field and use base64 for the image.

You can see my example below

{
    "info" : {
        "summary" : "Summary of TEst execution",
        "description" : "This execution is automatically created when importing execution results from an external source",
        "user" : "admin",
        "revision" : "1.0.42134",
        "startDate" : "2014-08-30T11:47:35+01:00",
        "finishDate" : "2014-08-30T11:53:00+01:00"
    },
    "tests" : [
        {
            "testKey" : "PPM-1",
            "start" : "2014-08-30T11:51:00+01:00",
            "finish" : "2014-08-30T11:52:30+01:00",
            "comment" : "Execution failed. Example #5 FAIL.",
            "status" : "FAIL",
                        "evidences" : [
                        {
                            "data": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABkIAAAO9CAYAAADezXv6AAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAAEn(rest of base64 image enconding)",
                            "filename": "image21.jpg",
                            "contentType": "image/jpeg"
                        }
                        ],
            "examples" : [
                "PASS",
                "PASS",
                "PASS",
                "PASS",
                "FAIL"
            ],
            "steps": [
                {
                    "status": "PASS",
                    "comment": "Coment on Test Step Result *1*",
                    "evidences" : [
                        {
                            "data": "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABkIAAAO9CAYAAADezXv6AAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAAEn(rest of base64 image enconding)","
                            "filename": "image21.jpg",
                            "contentType": "image/jpeg"
                        }
                        ]
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}
