Current behavior

--case-fields not working when I attempt to push data to some of the fields (i.e. Type, custom-field in Testrail )

TRcli is not pushing data to my case fields like it should do --case-fields "automation_status:Automated" \ --case-fields "type:Integration Test" \

Desired behavior

I want to push data to my case fields together with the results from junit I want below --case-fields "automation_status:Automated" \ --case-fields "type:Integration Test" \

Hi @jayslbrte ,

1. can you please provide a sample of the JUnit XML report you're submitting and the exact command line?
2. can you also detail the type of these fields on TestRail?

[jayslbrte]

1. JunitXML report

  <testsuite name="Sample.Tests.dll" tests="4" skipped="0" failures="1" errors="0" time="0.5011519" timestamp="2024-02-06T03:33:23" hostname="XXXXXX" id="0" package="XXXXXXX">
    <properties />
    <testcase classname="Sample.Tests.V1.Forms.Validators.CreateFormRequestValidatorTests" name="Sample.Tests.V1.Forms.Validators.CreateFormRequestValidatorTests.GivenValidDetails_WhenValidatingForm_ThenNoErrors" time="0.0450940">
      <failure type="failure" message="System.Exception : I am an issue">at Sample.Tests.V1.Forms.Validators.CreateFormRequestValidatorTests.GivenValidDetails_WhenValidatingForm_ThenNoErrors() in /Users/XXXXX/Work/Code/Tests/V1/Forms/Validators/CreateFormRequestValidatorTests.cs:line 1</failure>
    </testcase>
    <testcase classname="Sample.Tests.V1.Forms.Validators.CreateFormRequestValidatorTests" name="Sample.Tests.V1.Forms.Validators.CreateFormRequestValidatorTests.GivenEmptyString_WhenValidatingName_ThenMandatoryErrorForName(&quot;&quot;)" time="0.1520220" />.....

2.the type of these fields on TestRail?

[Testinator-X]

What is the exact command you are using for the import? What error message do you get exactly?

Spontaneously I notice that automation_status seems to be a custom case field, so the --case-fields should probably be "custom_automation_status" instead of just "automation_status" and the ID should be provided as Integer. --> e.g. --case-fields custom_automation_status:1 while 1 is the individual integer of the status name you would like to use.

as far as the custom case type is concerned, I'm not sure whether you can specify it at all. But if you can, then probably also with the integer value of the ID instead of the user-readable name. I would try it with --case-fields type_id:1 while 1 is the individual integer of the type you would like to use.

@Testinator-X , Thank you for your help. it works using: --case-fields "custom_automation_status:2" \ --case-fields "type_id:14"

[bitcoder]

thanks I'll close this after reviewing current docs

@bitcoder @Testinator-X is there a way trcli can allow you to organise your new test cases by it creating new test folders using testcase names instead testsuite name?

<testsuites>
  <testsuite name="Tests.suite" tests="4" skipped="0" failures="1" errors="0"
  <testcase classname="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest" name="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest.GivenCoolString_WhenValidatingName_ThenMandatoryErrorForName(....
  <testcase classname="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest" name="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest....
  <testcase classname="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest" name="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest....
  <testcase classname="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest" name="Tests.V1.Validators.CreateRequest....

That's non configurable
