RQM: Excel Importer: Cannot import pre-conditions


Gonzalo Garcia Favre (613813) | asked Feb 26 '13, 9:00 a.m.
Hi,

I'm having problems trying to import preconditions using the Excel Importer tool.

I have used the following line in the script for pre-conditions:

testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=G

After having imported the test cases and test scripts, I go to RQM to see if everything was importer correctly, but when I look at the preconditions I found the following text:

%3Cdiv xmlns="http%u003A//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns%u003Ao="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Aoffice%u003Aoffice" xmlns%u003Ast1="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Aoffice%u003Asmarttags" xmlns%u003Av="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Avml" xmlns%u003Aw="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Aoffice%u003Aword"%3EA video is streamming.%3C/div%3E

Does anyone knows what could be the problem?

Thanks

are the test cases linked to any test suite? It will be much more helpful, if you could post your entire script. Thanks

Its a text string: E.g.:

Project XX is up and running 
User is located at the Main Menu

 Hi I run the same script and the preconditions look fine for us. What version of the migration tool are you running. We are using 4.01 and our RQM version is 4.0.


The line we use is

testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition", "RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=I

And the only difference I can tell with yours is we have a space between , and "RQM-KEY....

I have the RQMExcelImporter Version: 1.0.4529.9380 and using RQM 4.0.
Where have you download that version from RQM excel importer from?

 If you get a weird access denied message from that link try this one:

Thanks Anthony. I've download the latest version (4.0.1.9638) and tried to import again using "test" as the string to be imported in pre-conditions but got the same result:

%3Cdiv xmlns="http%u003A//www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns%u003Ao="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Aoffice%u003Aoffice" xmlns%u003Ast1="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Aoffice%u003Asmarttags" xmlns%u003Av="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Avml" xmlns%u003Aw="urn%u003A//schemas-microsoft-com%u003Aoffice%u003Aword"%3Etest%3C/div%3E

Any ideas?

 I am sort of out of ideas. out of curiosity what is www.w3.org, where is it getting that from

Maybe take the "Scripts that create testcases" excel template add a new column at the end for the pre condition and try again.

Maybe there is something up with the excel sheet you are using.

Hi Anthony. What version of Excel are you using?
I am using Excel 2007. it was an xlsm file since I needed to code some things before doing the import.
I have copied and pasted  what I wanted to import (only values) in another excel file (xls 97-2003) but the same result shows up.

 i am using excel 2010 and on the other PC I have is excel 2007. here is the script we use, have look and see if we are doing anything different to you:

// This configuration file creates a test case with each test script and links them.
// The linking is accomplished by self referential data


// Start looking for scripts after row 2
testscript.XLSStartRow=2

// use the data in the first row of a found script's column A
testscript.XLSArtifactID=A
testscript.dc:title=D
testscript.dc:description=M
testscript.category term="Test Phase".value=E
testscript.category term="Test Area".value=F
testscript.category term="Sub Test Area".value=G
// testscript.category term="Change Item".value=H


testscript.customAttributes identifier="Deadlines".name="Deadlines".type="SMALL_STRING".value=J
testscript.customAttributes identifier="Test_Data_Location".name="Test Data Location".type="SMALL_STRING".value=L

testscript.customAttributes identifier="Originating_RMT_File_Location".name="Originating RMT File Location".type="SMALL_STRING".value=B


// the literal "execution" will be put into the step type tag, so all steps will be of type execution
testscript.steps.type="execution"
testscript.steps.description=O
testscript.steps.title=N
testscript.steps.name=N
testscript.steps.expectedResult=P

// a new script starts when we encounter an empty row
testscript.XLSDelimeter=\n
// we want to use the data we got for each test script to create a test case
testcase.ID=testscript.XLSArtifactID

// by refering to the testscript's field instead of the column that data comes from
// the tool will also create links to each of the test scripts.
testcase.dc:title=testscript.dc:title
testcase.dc:description=testscript.dc:description


testcase.category term="Test Phase".value=E
testcase.category term="Test Area".value=F
testcase.category term="Sub Test Area".value=G
testcase.category term="Change Item".value=H

testcase.weight="100"

testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition", "RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=I

Thanks for your help Anthony. I don't find any difference between both configuration files, but I don't know why it works for you and I have a different result executing that line. thanks for all your help

I am trying to export test cases using RQM Excel Importer, I have modified the configuration file according to my Test Case sheet.
I am able to export the cases without the testCasePreCondition. But with testCasePreCondition, I’m getting the following error.

The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
Your account does not have the group memberships required to access the requested resource.

I am using the bellow line for Pre-condition.
testcase.Section("myns:com.ibm.rqm.planning.editor.section.testCasePreCondition","RQM-KEY-TC-PRE-COND-TITLE")=C

I have Test Team Member access on the project Area.
Do i need any special permission to export with testCasePreCondition?
