I'm wondering if it's not the same request as http://mantis.testlink.org/view.php?id=5082 [^] .

oops (I'm wrong) is similar request written in a obscure way (IMHO)

method: assignTestCaseExecutionTask();

Think about providing support to TestLink development

I tried to use the new feature, by creating this method:

    def AssignTestToUser(self, devKey, testprojectid, testplanid, buildname,
                         platformname, testcaseexternalid, user):
        argsAPI = {
                   'devKey' : devKey,
                   'testprojectid' : str(testprojectid),
                   'testplanid': str(testplanid),
                   'buildname': str(buildname),
                   'platformname': str(platformname),
                   'testcaseexternalid' : str(testcaseexternalid),
                   'user': str(user)
                   }
        return self.server.tl.assignTestCaseExecutionTask(argsAPI)

I called it with parameters of our project, and got this output:
{'status': True, 'args': {'testcaseexternalid': 'x-1', 'buildid': '257', 'testcaseid': 5, 'platformid': 9, 'user': 'dabust', 'testprojectid': '1', 'buildname': '2.4.0-24', 'testplanid': '52057', 'platformname': '1 Brick'}}

but it doesn't seems to work(when I try to look in the test cases assigned to me, I don't see this test).

@tehilad
you have to test using the PHP client because is the only code I use.
Have you checked with other feature than test cases assigned to me ?

fman - we could not work with the PHP client, but here's the XML-RPC conversation as it appears on the wire - perhaps you can see if we are missing something?

Anything suspicious?
Can you give us some guidance on how to use the PHP client?

Thanks in advance!

just open the code and provide the requested info, IMHO it can not be difficult

One difference I've noticed is that our XML-RPC also contains the testprojectid parameter:

<name>testprojectid</name><value><string>1</string></value></member>

Looking at the implementation, I don't see it. Is it missing or are we erroneously added it?

IMHO => are we erroneously added it?

have you tried without it?

(0021174)
mykaul (reporter)
2014-06-27 07:08

Yes, we've tried without it, but it did not work either.
How would the API work without it? (I'm not familiar with the DB scheme) - is the test plan unique, across projects?

@mykaul:
can you please explain me what is unclear on this detail for
public function assignTestCaseExecutionTask($args)

@param string $args["devKey"]
@param int $args["testplanid"]
@param string $args["testcaseexternalid"] format PREFIX-NUMBER
@param int $args["buildid"] Mandatory => you can provide buildname as alternative
@param int $args["buildname"] Mandatory => you can provide buildid (DB ID) as alternative
@param int $args["platformid"] optional - BECOMES MANDATORY if Test plan has platforms. you can provide platformname as alternative
@param int $args["platformname"] optional - BECOMES MANDATORY if Test plan has platforms, you can provide platformid as alternative
@param string $args["user'] - login name => tester

where there is an indication of testproject id ?

Please try your best before start asking for help, or buy support if you need more personalized help.

OK - I see now the difference: buildname and platformname are of type int - we've used both as strings so far. We can try that and see if that works for us.
Is there some extra debugging we can turn on? (as we are getting HTTP code 200 OK on our calls - it just doesn't seem to actually do the assignment).

(0021196)

documentation is wrong BUILDNAME AND PLATFORNAME are STRINGS.
>> is there some extra debugging we can turn on?
no

Tried the patch for 6433 - which I now see we've had in our logs as well - but while it eliminated the error it still does not work for us.
