Not able to use addTestStep to XRAY Test

Question

Got following message :

b'{"errors":[{"message":"Cannot query field \"addTestStep\" on type \"Query\". Did you mean \"getTestSet\" or \"getTestSets\"?","locations":[{"line":3,"column":9}]}]}'

I had follow the instructions in :

https://us.xray.cloud.getxray.app/doc/graphql/addteststep.doc.html

mutation = f"""    {{        addTestStep(            issueId: "{issue_id}",            versionId: {version_id},            step: {{            action: "Use Tsairi Xray Cloud Rest Api to add a new Step to the Test",                       result: "Step was added to the Test"                               }}        ) {{            id                     action            data            result            }}    }}    """
    data = {        "query": mutation    }
   
    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

Hi @David Tsairi - welcome to the community,

how/where is the api called/ the call invoked?

I dunno that type of notation. what stands the ‚f’ in front of the mutation string stands for?

Did you try to invoke the call via postman or curl?

Hi @David Tsairi

unfortunately I´m not familiar with python or how those calls could be invoked via python.

I tried to call via webRequest action in a jira automation rule and the following call worked fine:

{"query": "mutation{ addTestStep(issueId: \"11188\",step:{action: \"this is the action\",result: \"this should be the result\"}){id action data result}}"}

Therefore the ednpoint itself is working.

Why is it that there is a double

{{

and

}}

in your script? Can´t this notation in any docu (neither in the github docu which documents those python to graphql stuff).

Could you try to change those to single { } ?
