Submit a test that does not exist. What's the outcome?

[stefanoborini]

I am trying to understand from the general code and xray endpoint documentation what happens if I create a test with an identifier (e.g. PROJ-1234) that is not assigned to a test (e.g. PROJ-1234 is a Story) or is not existent at all (e.g. PROJ-1234 does not exist).

Unfortunately I can't mess with my current Jira and run an experiment, but a colleague informed me that the xray endpoint might create an empty xray test automatically. Is this actually true, and if so, is there some mechanism in the plugin to prevent this from happening (that is, only accept the submission if all tests exist)

Hi @stefanoborini, unfortunately I don't have access to Jira Xray. I am maintaining this plugin based only on the Xray documentation. So if you have any question about its functionality you need to ask someone from Jira/Xray support.

@stefanoborini FYI I just tried this with a non-existent Jira id in the marker. It will cause the import to fail like this:

Could not publish results to Jira XRAY! HTTPError: Could not post to JIRA service at https://xray.cloud.getxray.app/api/v2/import/execution. Response status code: 400 Error message from server: Missing Test Execution project. Specify an existing Test Execution or a project to create a new Test Execution.
