JIRA/Xray - Not able to import cucumber tests using curl due to error "The file is required!"

[Nuno Oliveira]

Hello,

We are trying to import cucumber tests that we already have developed into the Xray project that exists in our JIRA cloud.

We are following the information present on Importing Cucumber Tests - REST 

The authentication is done using the client_id/client_secret with the following command:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST --data '{"client_id": "<client_id>","client_secret": "<client_secret>"}' https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com/api/v1/authenticate

which returns the authentication token.

Then we try to import an existing and simple feature file by using the rest api:



curl -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" -F "file=@<absolute path>/xray.feature" https://xray.cloud.xpand-it.com/api/v1/import/feature?projectKey=<our xray project key> -v



The response is "The file is required".
We have tried multiple ways but the response is always the same and there's no clue regarding what's wrong.

Any help regarding this would be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Curl version:
curl 7.64.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin19.0) libcurl/7.64.1 (SecureTransport) LibreSSL/2.8.3 zlib/1.2.11 nghttp2/1.39.2

Hi @Nuno Oliveira 

Please run the command from the folder where the feature file is located and without the path in the command line. I suspect that it could be something related to the file path.

Hi @Zakaria Boutami 

Please try to place the file argument between quotes, like this:

... -F "file=@features.zip" ...

If none of these works, it is best to contact Xray Support (http://Xraysupport.getXray.app) to share your configuration so that the support team can investigate further.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hi @Nuno Oliveira ,

that's weird. I'm unable to replicate it.

Were you able to overcome this?
