  • 1.  the date+time format to set date of a testCaseResult through the API

    Posted Feb 05, 2015 08:29 AM
    When we were using XML to create test case results through the api, we set the time format to 02/04/2015 (MM/dd/YYYY) and it worked.  After updating to the 2.0 API and using JSON, this gives an error:


    HTTP Response: {"CreateResult": {"_rallyAPIMajor": "2", "_rallyAPIMinor": "0", "Errors": ["Could not parse: Cannot convert \"null\" into a date. You must use the ISO8601 date+time format."], "Warnings": []}} Error: Could not parse: Cannot convert "null" into a date. You must use the ISO8601 date+time format.

    We set the date in the request from Electric Commander thus:

    {
        "TestCaseResult": {
            "TestCase": "$[TestCaseObjId]",
            "Verdict":    "$[Verdict]",
            "Build":       "$[BuildID]",
            "Date":       "$[/timestamp MM/dd/YYYY]",
            "Duration":  "$[Duration]",
            "Notes":      "$[Notes]"
        }
    }

    The request to Rally looks like this:

    {
        "TestCaseResult": {
            "TestCase": "6030935686",
            "Verdict": "Pass",
            "Build": "No_New_Build",
            "Date": "02/05/2015",
            "Duration": "65",
            "Notes": "methodName:RunTest(ProjectName:=BitNWord_PME_PAC_FT, TargetName:=Bitnword_IEC_IOSymbolic, PassBit:=M4050, FailBit:=M4001, RunState:=Run_Enabled)

        }
    }

    What are we doing wrong?

    This worked the next day without any changes on our part.  There must have been a problem at Rally that got fixed.
