CAST HIGHLIGHT - Results Upload - CLI - ERROR: Failed to fetch company with id when using --basicAuth – CAST

While using Cast Highlight CLI for uploading results, with --login and --password everything works as expected. But when using --basicAuth with the same login (base64 encode and split with :), you may get the following error message:

Workaround

The issue is due to encoding of the basicAuth field.

The error mentioned occurs when the base64 code of login and password is wrong.

To solve the issue

1. Arrange username and password in the below format: separated by a colon

Username:Password

2. Now convert them to base 64 code: (you can use URL https://www.base64encode.org/)

3. Now copy the code in your command: after basic auth

Java -jar HighlightAutomation --sourceDir <sourcedirectorypath> --workingDir <working directory path> --ignoreDirectories .Tests,Docs,bin,obj,.git,.vs --applicationId <app id> --companyId <company id> --basicAuth **** --serverUrl https://rpa.casthighlight.com
