9 years ago Hello kennethwork99,
thanks for interesting questing. I'm sorry, but currently I could not help you to import the result.xml file via the API, but maybe I have some hints for your customfields.
- Unfortunately, TL itself does not provide an api method to import result.xml files. (see TL Githup xmlrpc.class.php Line 6990).
- reportTCResult does not provide attributes to change directly the timestamp or exec duration (see TL Githup xmlrpc.class.php Line 2100)
- Intention of uploadExecutionAttachment is, that you add log files or screenshot to your execution result. You could add your result.xml file with this, but it will not be evaluated. Examples how to add such attachment see TestLinkExample.py Line 483
So now hopefully the good news. Here is an example, how you could import timesstamps as values for customfields via reportTCResults
import datetime
newResult = myTestLink.reportTCResult(None, aTPlanID, aBuildName, 'f', 'result one',
testcaseexternalid=aTCaseFullExID,
platformname='Small Birds',
customfields={'cf_tc_ex_string' : 'a custom exec value set via api',
'CF_EXEC_TIME' : 2.2,
'cf_tc_ex_numeric' : 111,
# 2014-04-28
'cf_tc_ex_date' : datetime.datetime(2015,4,28).timestamp(),
# 2014-04-28 21:10:51
'cf_tc_ex_datetime' : datetime.datetime(2014,4,28,21,10,51).timestamp()} )
print ("reportTCResult", newResult )this will return
reportTCResult [{'id': '1644', 'operation': 'reportTCResult', 'customfieldstatus': True, 'status': True, 'overwrite': False, 'message': 'Success!'}]and this id is the execution id, you need to upload execution attachments
Hope this helps a little bit.

This is not an issue but a question on how to use TestLink-API-Python-client to bulk upload test results in XML into TestLink. Generated a results.xml file and manually able to upload to testlink via "Import XML Results" in Test Execution page. It shows correct Status, Date and Exec (min) values so the results.xml should be in correct format.
In TestLink-API-Python-client-0.6.1, which API should be used to upload results.xml? At first I thought uploadExecutionAttachment might work but what value to use for executionid? I tried using some bogus integer and string value but failed each time.
testlink.testlinkerrors.TLResponseError: 6004: (uploadExecutionAttachment) - Invalid Foreign Key ID[1] Table[executions]
Then I tried reportTCResult and that worked but cannot get Date to be the supplied timestamp string and Exec (min) is always blank. I tried using customfields and passed in a dictionary:
customfields = dict(timestamp=starttime2, execution_type="2", execution_duration=str(minutes)) No error was reported but those fields did not show up in the Test Execution page correctly.
I prefer to upload the results.xml file if such an API is available. If not, any help to get the Exec (min) and Date as test execution timestamp via reportTCResult is appreciated. Thanks.
