Querying Xray Graphql for a Test Execution in Jira automation returns null

[Gary Long]

I tried to follow the tutorial available on xray documentation to use Jira automation to get the results of a test execution but the result of the web request is always null.

I've got a first web request for the authentication which returns a token, and a second web request which query the graphql db to get a specific test execution. I use the token returned by the first web request for the Bearer header of the second request.

The second request returns a 200 status but the content of its body is {data={getTestExecution=null}}.

The following image is the content of my jira automation

the next screenshot is the content of the second webrequest:

The issue was with the Xray API key used and not the content of the automation or the graphql query.

Hi Gary,

Can you share the results of the Audit Log?

Hi John,

I've found the cause of the issue. I was using a new Xray API key for the jira user "Automation for Jira" and even though a token was correctly created by the call to the authentication endpoint, the next call to the graphql endpoint always returned empty results, whatever the query was.

I've used a different Xray API key generated for a real user of our organization and now it works correctly. I don't know exactly why it does not work for the automation for Jira user but that's not a big deal.

Thank you for answering !

Regards,

Gary
