How do I get the Test Executions of a Test using REST API?

[Bogdan Stoica]

Hi,

I created a personal workspace on atlassian, added the Xray add-on, and I made a project(MCP) where I added a Test issue (MCP-8) and two Test Executions which include this Test (MCP-9 and MCP-10).

I performed a GET request on the following link in order to get information about the Test issue: https://<my-host-name>.atlassian.net/rest/api/2/issue/MCP-8 . Since there are the two Test Execution linked to this Test, I was expecting to find the Test Executions mentioned in the received JSON.

Do you have any idea how could I get the Test Executions related to a Test, either via REST or maybe JQL query?

Here is the JSON response I got about the Test issue:

Hi,

You need to use the Xray API for this, not JIRA's API, since these two tests are now "Test Runs" in Xray terms. Depending on if you use Xray Cloud or Server:

• Server+DC: REST API - Xray Server + DC - Xray (getxray.app)
• Cloud: you will have to use Xray's GraphQL endpoint to get the Test Runs from this Test Execution: GraphQL API - Xray Cloud Documentation - Xray (getxray.app)

To use GraphQL, here is the query I would use to retrieve those test runs:

query { getTestExecution(issueId: "YOUR_TEST_EXECUTION_ID"){ tests(limit: 100){ results { issueId } } } }

This query can be used as the json data for your POST request to Xray's GraphQL.

Hope this helps!

Mee too, is facing a similar issue/error. Can someone assist on this.
