com.qa.utils.APIException: TestRail API returned HTTP 400("Field :case_id is not a valid ID.")

[wrathmelior]

Getting 'TestRail API returned HTTP 400("Field :case_id is not a valid ID.")
It should be getting id="188056" set by the TestRails annotation and i'm not sure if it's just not getting that at all and where it is getting case_id from even because I only use caseId it my test.

Im using the instructions here https://www.swtestacademy.com/integrate-test-automation-results-with-testrail-testng/

Here is the code:

  public void beforeTest(ITestContext ctx,Method method) throws NoSuchMethodException {
	    Method m = OnboardingTests.class.getMethod(method.getName());
	    if (m.isAnnotationPresent(TestRails.class)) {
	        TestRails ta = m.getAnnotation(TestRails.class);
	        ctx.setAttribute("caseId",ta.id());
	    }

}

@AfterMethod
public void afterTest(ITestResult result, ITestContext ctx) throws IOException, APIException {
Map data = new HashMap();
if(result.isSuccess()) {
data.put("status_id",1);
}
else{
data.put("status_id",5);
data.put("comment", result.getThrowable().toString());
}
String caseId = (String)ctx.getAttribute("caseId");
Long suiteId = (Long)ctx.getAttribute("suiteId");
client.sendPost("add_result_for_case/"+suiteId+"/"+caseId,data);
}

@testrails(id="188056")
@test (groups = "1")
public void onBoarding() throws InterruptedException {

test steps ommited
}

}

Hi @wrathmelior,

When using add_result_for_case, you should be passing the test run ID and case ID as parameters in your request. Based on your code, you are submitting the suite ID instead of the run ID and this appears to be the cause of the error message.

If you continue to have issues submitting API requests, please reach out to the support team at [email protected].

The issues for this repository are primarily used for reporting issues with the TestRail API bindings, or other code inside this repository.

Regards,
Jon

The 'suite_id' being used here should be the test run id generated earlier in the run in my super class with this code

@BeforeSuite
public void createSuite(ITestContext ctx) throws IOException, APIException {
client = new APIClient("https://company.testrail.com/");
client.setUser("[email protected]");
client.setPassword("password");
long yourmilliseconds = System.currentTimeMillis();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd,yyyy HH:mm");    
Date resultdate = new Date(yourmilliseconds);
Map data = new HashMap();
data.put("suite_id", 856);
data.put("include_all", true);
data.put("name" ,"Android BVT Automation Run - " + resultdate);
JSONObject c = null;
System.out.println("data: " + data);
c = (JSONObject)client.sendPost("add_run/"+102,data);
Long suite_id = (Long)c.get("id");
ctx.setAttribute("suiteId",suite_id);
}
