Trying to create test execution using API with versions and other custom fields

[Singa Selva Sankar]

I am trying to create test execution using API '/rest/raven/1.0/import/execution' with payload details provided in the documentation, test execution getting created. when I add fields like 'testCategoryId, fixVersion, versions, labels' I am getting the following error message "

Error instantiating bean. Field(s) info -> fixVersions do not follow the correct format." 

I used the following formats for all the fields but getting the same error.

testCategoryId: "test category value"

testCategoryId: {"value":"test category value"}

testCategoryId: [{"test category value"}]

testCategoryID: [{"value":"test category value""}]

I don't find anything on the documentation regarding the format of data that we use when using against the API.

Hi @Singa Selva Sankar 

Could you please provide your payload you are trying to create an issue?

It‘s just saying the fixVersion field is not matching format. What did you try to fill in this field?

Hi @Stefan Salzl adding my payload. I am trying to have values for following fields

• testCategoryId
• components
• versions
• fixVersions

I tried the input variations which I mentioned in my questions for the fields I mentioned above, but none creating successfully.

Hi @Singa Selva Sankar 

Could you provide a screenshot of your releases/versions screen?

[Singa Selva Sankar]

hi @Stefan Salzl , attaching my versions page

[Singa Selva Sankar]

not only for versions, I am getting the same kind of error message for component, test category and labels

Hi @Singa Selva Sankar 

According to this documentation of the Xray-JSON format there is a limitation of fields that can be set via Xray-API. 

My personal assumption is that other fields would need to be set via Jira-API.

Hi @Stefan Salzl thank you for your input. I will check if I could update via Jira-API

[Singa Selva Sankar]

Hi @Stefan Salzl I created test execution separately and was able to able to update it separately using Jira API. Thanks, this helps. 

[Stefan Salzl]

AWESOME!!!! great effort 🙌👌

Happy to know you got it working ;)

Hi @Singa Selva Sankar , can you pls provide URL and payload to only create test execution cycle using API. Am able to update an existing Test execution cycle using JSON result format through XRay API. But struggling to create a new test execution cycle  using JIRA api.
