RQM API - Creating a Test Case


Matthew Vermilion (1468) | asked Apr 29 '13, 4:15 p.m.
Hello Colleagues!

I have been unsuccessfully trying to create test cases for the https://jazzc01.hursley.ibm.com:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/projects/IBM+Ad+Hoc project through the REST API.

I can successfully create the same described test case in the https://jazzc01.hursley.ibm.com:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/projects/Integrator+New+Automation project. I've hit a wall after a couple days and am out of ideas. Creating test cases just returns me a HTTP 400 error. I included the HTTP input / output in the following yucky trace.  I would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Thanks.
Matt

Hi Matthew,

I would start investigating these 2 directions :

1) HTTP 400 response code means "Bad Request". That's normally seen when the resource URL is malformed or the specified project area does not exist. Can you open the URL used for the creation of the test case - minus the specific test case - part in your browser (with your exact same user logged) ? ( should be sthg like : https://jazzc01.hursley.ibm.com:9443/qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/projects/Integrator+New+Automation/testcase )
2) did you check that your user has permission to create artefacts in the project, has the right license and is a member of the Integrator+New+Automation  project area ?

For more references / guidance, you could refer to the RQM wiki for OSLC QM V2 API
If looking for sample-based information, have a read to OSLC/REST APIs "cheat sheets" / "How Tos"

Regards,
Stéphane

I would suggest it's #1:

2993 2013-04-29 15:07:37,636 [main] DEBUG httpclient.wire.content - >> "<testcase[\r][\n]" <br=""> 2994

See https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#ScenarioCreateTip.

Thank you for your suggestions.  I used your method of logging into the web view and playing with the URL.  It seems that my problem project area uses the Alias to create a testcase.  The previous project area was able to use the Title.  Once I popped the Alias in there on a guess, I got an atom feed back.  That was the key.  Thanks for the hints!
