Zephyr Test Execution Linking Defect via ZAPI

Question

Hi folks ,

I am interating Zephyr via ZAPI in my application. I created test execution and a defect(bug) in jira but could not find any api in ZAPI docs for linking test execution with existing defect with my application.

Is this requirement feasible . If yes and any API exist for acheving this task then help me guys.

Version of ZAPI is :: 2.3.0.23002808

Version of Zephyr is :: 3.3.2.33202813

Hi Guys,

You can use the following API resource of updating the execution details to link your defect to the test execution

http://docs.getzephyr.apiary.io/#reference/executionresource/update-execution-details/update-execution-details

But this API is only updating the Status.

The working solution for this problem:

Request URL - PUT {Base URL}/rest/zapi/latest/execution/{Execution Id}/execute

Request Body -

{

"updateDefectList": "true",
  "defectList": ["{Defect Name}"]
}

* Just need to place "updateDefectList" above the "defectList" in all above solutions *

Example Shown above:

Http-Method: PUT
Enpoint: /rest/zapi/latest/execution/38/execute
{

"updateDefectList": "true",
  "defectList": [
    "YIS-1"
  ]
  
}

Thanks

Do you have multiple defects? This is roughly what I use.

# Multiple defects
    if "," in defect:
        defect = defect.strip("| ")
        body = {
            "defectList": defect.split(","),
            "updateDefectList": 'true',
            "status": int(status_number)
        }
    # Single defect
    else: 
        body = { 
            "defectList": [defect],
            "updateDefectList": 'true',
            "status": int(status_number)
        }

body = json.dumps(body)
r = requests.request("PUT", url, headers=headers, data=body)

Hi Team,

Any update on this issue. As suggested, I am sending the body as json but getting the same error.

Thanks & Regards
