Why does testplan PUT API blow away current Data (4.0.0.1)?

0
Matthew Vermilion (14●6●8) | asked Jun 24 '13, 4:34 p.m.
I am having problems using the testplan API.  I am doing a PUT with the this test plan, but certain things I don't specify get blown away.

Here's an example where I wanted to add a testcase linkage to a testplan.  I found out that I first needed to grab the current testcases, then send them in again with the additional one.  Then I noticed that the PUT would blow away my categories, so I got them and sent them back in again.  Now I notice that the environment linkages get unlinked too...

Does someone know the magic to do just an update that does not blow away other data?  I do notice that the description doesn't get cleared and some other stuff on the summary page...

Here's my current XML from the HttpClient log.  It's easier to read if you cut and paste it into your own editor.  Thanks for your help!

Matt

This is what a PUT operation is supposed to do.  From http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec9.html :
"The PUT method requests that the enclosed entity be stored under the supplied Request-URI."  In other words, a PUT to an existing resource will replace the state of that resource with the state of the resource as defined in the payload of the PUT. 

In your case you should first do a GET on the testplan, update/add whatever is necessary, then PUT the entire XML payload back to the server.  As to why things like the title don't get deleted, its likely RQM is preventing you from deleting mandatory and immutable attributes.
