    {{

        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

Hi Stefan , thanks a lot for your help !!! Its working for me now ,

it was a matter of format and use of double Parenthesis,

Here is my working python code look like:

---

    url = 'https://xray.cloud.getxray.app/api/v2/graphql'

    # Headers

    headers = {

        "Content-Type": "application/json",

        "Authorization": f"Bearer {auth_token}"

    }  

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

    response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)

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 { } ?

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?

Best
Stefan

Dear Stefan , thank you for replying!

The f' enable me to insert external parameters as issue_id or versioId in python .

I have tried other entities which works as "

getExpandedTest  in same way .

But it doesn't recognize addTestStep , it implicitly mentions in the help guide.
