[Bug] Attachments not 'attached' to the test in the test run, for AutomationID (code first) tests

[MatthewRack]

Description

I have a big run of about 500+ tests that are associated to tests in TR by AutomationID (using code-first workflow), and lately their attachments for failed tests are be uploaded to TR (I see them in the Adim > Data Management > Attachemnts section) but they are NOT attached to the test itself. This used to work, and I think at some point recently it started failing. Note that all attachments are PNG images.

I'm using TRCLI v1.14.1. And I know it was failing in v1.14.0 as well.

I also have many specification-first workflows, where I map the automated test to the TR test via the TR test case ID. These are working and I'm seeing the attachments.

Sometimes for the code-first workflows, in the TRCLI output, I will see text like this:

Adding results: 0/517

Adding results: 167/517
Adding results: 367/517
Adding results: 467/517

Uploading 34 attachments for 16 test results.
**Unable to find result_id for case 24857, skipping attachments.
Unable to find result_id for case 24858, skipping attachments.
Unable to find result_id for case 24859, skipping attachments.**
Submitted 517 test results in 45.4 secs.

And sometimes I will not see these error. Regardless, it never attaches the files to the tests.
