RQM REST API: How to link newly created test cases to existing test plan

0

Athanasios Karapantelakis (6●1) | asked Jul 06 '12, 9:50 a.m.
Hello everyone.

I have used the REST API to create a bunch of test cases in RQM, using an HTTP PUT request. I do get 201 responses back for every test case created, which means that the requests suceed - I can also view the test cases in RQM's web UI.

The problem comes when I am trying to link those test cases to an existing test plan. I have the test plan identifier (doublechecked to be a valid one), and I encapsulate the test case identifiers into an HTTP PUT request like so:
<ns2:testplan xmlns:ns2="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/" xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:ns10="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/executionworkitem/v0.1" xmlns:ns11="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/qmadapter/task/v0.1" xmlns:ns3="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/v0.1/" xmlns:ns4="http://schema.ibm.com/vega/2008/" xmlns:ns5="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/executionresult/v0.1" xmlns:ns6="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/tsl/v0.1/" xmlns:ns7="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/testscript/v0.1/" xmlns:ns8="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/qmadapter/v0.1" xmlns:ns9="http://jazz.net/xmlns/alm/qm/v0.1/catalog/v0.1">
    <identifier xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">https://almdev.cl.internal.ericsson.com:443/qm/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/DUCI_AXE_IV_PMT/testplan/urn%3acom.ibm.rqm%3atestplan%3a181</identifier>
    <title xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Testing MBT</title>
    <description xmlns="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Automatically generated from RQM Plugin</description>
    <ns2:testcase href="https://almdev.cl.internal.ericsson.com:443/qm/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/DUCI_AXE_IV_PMT/testcase/MBT_Testing+MBT_testcase_1"/>
    <ns2:testcase href="https://almdev.cl.internal.ericsson.com:443/qm/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/DUCI_AXE_IV_PMT/testcase/MBT_Testing+MBT_testcase_2"/>
    <ns2:testcase href="https://almdev.cl.internal.ericsson.com:443/qm/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/DUCI_AXE_IV_PMT/testcase/MBT_Testing+MBT_testcase_3"/>
</ns2:testplan>
I do get a 200 response back which according to REST API means the update was successfull.

However, I cannot see the test cases linked inside the test plan from the Web UI. Is there something I am missing ?

Can you do a GET on 
https://almdev.cl.internal.ericsson.com:443/qm/secure/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/DUCI_AXE_IV_PMT/testcase/MBT_Testing+MBT_testcase_1

and check if you get testcase resource's xml on this URL.

Seems all thinks correct. As a advice please do a GET on artifact, 
then edit xml to make modification and upload it. 
Otherwise you might loose some other info of test plan as 
REST API does not support partial update

Hi Pramod.

Thanks for your reply. The root cause was the RQM ID names for the test cases. RQM doesn't seem to like the "+" symbol, so I replaced it with an underscore.

For instance:

MBT_Testing+MBT_testcase_1

was converted to

MBT_Testing_MBT_testcase_1

Regards,
Athanasios

Correct.  Reserved URL characters in external IDs must be URL-encoded (see https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RqmApi#External_ID).

 @Athanasios - Did you rename the testcase? 


For me none of your proposals work. 
I've tried these for my testcase with title test+test:
.../qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/PROJECTAREA/testcase?fields=feed/entry/content/testcase[title='test+test']/
.../qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/PROJECTAREA/testcase?fields=feed/entry/content/testcase[title='test%2Btest']/
.../qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/PROJECTAREA/testcase/test+test
.../qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/PROJECTAREA/testcase/test%2Btest
Either I got a "Bad request" back, or a xml with no testcase information inside: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <title type="text">testcase ATOM feed for project area xy</title>
  <id>.../qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/pa/testcase</id>
  <link href=".../qm/web/console/" rel="alternate"
  />
  <link rel="self" href=".../qm/service/com.ibm.rqm.integration.service.IIntegrationService/resources/pa/testcase?fields=feed%2Fentry%2Fcontent%2Ftestcase%5Btitle%3D%27test+test%27%5D%2F*"
  />
</feed>


</pre>
Thanks for your help to get this work,
Dani

Dani,


This is a variant of defect 183538: Test Case Result records incorrectly shown as Previous Result Records when exporting Test Case Result to PDFs when PA contains "+" in the name.  However, this defect involves encoding the project area alias whereas your issue is with encoding the fields request/query value.  Note, the entire fields request/query value should be URL-encoded.  If this doesn't work, please open a new defect.

Paul

Hi Paul

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately we can't filter for these testcases with the Rest Api. 

Thanks,
Dani
