Query to find defects without a passed test connected to it

Question

Hi all,

in our JIRA XRAY project no defect has to be closed without a linked testrun in status 'passed'. To find out, if there are closed defects without a positive test I tried the following JQL querys:

project = XXXX AND issuetype = Defect AND NOT issueFunction in linkedIssuesOf("ISSUETYPE = 'test' and TestRunStatus = pass") AND status = closed

project = XXXX AND issuetype = Defect AND issueFunction not in linkedIssuesOf("ISSUETYPE = 'test' and TestRunStatus = pass") AND status = closed

This query shows all closed defects wether they have passed testruns or not. Does anyone have an idea what is the problem?

Many thanks!

After numerous workshops with Atlassian, Decadis and XRAY-Support it is the result, that JIRA has a problem with their API, so linkedTo and linkedIssuesOf does not work properly anymore. Hopefully, this will be fixed in the future.

Sounds good. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Hopefully between Adaptavist and Atlassian they can get it solved.

Hi John,

thank you for your answer! The problem is not solved yet. I tried your suggestion, but it did not work for me. I also thought that it may be a grouping problem and tried some different groupings and wordings with 'not in' and 'and not' but nothing seems to work.

Our IT-department startet a request at Atlassian and they rolled out a database analysys tool and gave some advice regarding reorganising the database but nothing helped till now.

The crasiest thing about this is, that a similar filter I used last year worked at that time but in this year not, so something is different now. Maybe one of the JIRA patches made this mess.

Our IT-Department is now adressing this to Adaptavist, maybe they will find out something.
