Any API to get Zephyr Test Content with Python?

[Frank Fu]

I know there's jira library for python: <JIRA 2.0> to search issues or get page content from Jira.

But is there any library I can use to get the content from plugin: Zephyr in Jira?

I tried to use requests library to analysis the contents from html, but login cookies is complicated and the contents in Test Details seems hidden or in somewhere instead of main page. So I wonder if there's any good method to grab the test cases? Thanks.

Now I've found another way to grab the test case content by ZAPI.

Before actions, you need to make sure you've installed ZAPI. Check that in:

https://<jira-server>/rest/zephyr/1.0/application.wadl

You can get html content by using format like this:

improt requests
from requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions import InsecureRequestWarning

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings(InsecureRequestWarning)

"""
Replace your cookies. The reason why I don't like this method cause 
it's complicated for me to get dynamic cookies in different users.
"""
header = {'Cookie': cookie,}
url = "https://<jira-server>/rest/zapi/latest/teststep/testid"
html = requests.get(url, verify=False, headers=header)
# You need to parse the content by yourself cause it's messy strings

You can find testID through API defined in JIRA library.

from jira import JIRA

jira = JIRA(basic_auth={username, password}, 
            options={'server':%jira-server%, 'verify':False,})
cases = jira.search_issues('project=%your project% AND 
             type=Test ORDER BY created ASC',fields='', maxResults=100)
print(cases)

Hope ATLASSIAN will provide more APIs in JIRA library.  If you've any better methods or ideas, please share with us, thanks :)
