Edit Parser Templates

Request

To change a parser template, use the following API operation of your Zephyr server:

PUT http(s)://{your-zephyr}/flex/services/rest/latest/parsertemplate/{template-id}

Here,

  • your-zephyr is the host name or IP address of your Zephyr server.

  • template-id is the ID of the desired template. You get this ID when you create a template.

Use the payload like this:

{
  "name": "Updated custom parser", 
  "jsonTemplate": "[{  
    \"status\": \"${testsuite.testcase.failure}\",  
    \"stepText\": \"${testsuite.testcase.failure}${testsuite.testcase.system-out}\",
    \"statusExistPass\": false,  
    \"statusString\": null,  
    \"statusFailAttachmentText\": \"${testsuite.testcase.failure:message}\",  
    \"statusPassAttachmentText\": \"classname: ${testsuite.testcase:classname} name: ${testsuite.testcase:name} time: ${testsuite.testcase:time}\",
    \"packageName\": \"${testsuite.testcase:classname}\",
    \"skipTestcaseNames\": \"\",
        \"testcase\" : {
            \"name\": \"${testsuite.testcase:name}\"
        },
        \"requirements\": [
            {\"id\": \"${testsuite.testcase.requirements.requirement}\"}
        ],
        \"attachments\": [
            {\"filePath\": \"${testsuite.testcase.attachments.attachment}\"}
        ]
    }]"
}

The payload has two top-level properties:

  • name – The name of a test tool or framework.

Response

Zephyr’s response will be like this:

{
  "id": 101,
  "name": "Updated custom parser", 
  "jsonTemplate": "[{ 
    \"status\": \"${testsuite.testcase.failure}\",  
    \"stepText\": \"${testsuite.testcase.failure}${testsuite.testcase.system-out}\",
    \"statusExistPass\": false,
    \"statusString\": null,
    \"statusFailAttachmentText\": \"${testsuite.testcase.failure:message}\",
    \"statusPassAttachmentText\": \"classname: ${testsuite.testcase:classname} name: ${testsuite.testcase:name} time: ${testsuite.testcase:time}\",
    \"packageName\": \"${testsuite.testcase:classname}\",
    \"skipTestcaseNames\": \"\",
    \"testcase\" : {
        \"name\": \"${testsuite.testcase:name}\"
    },
    \"requirements\": [
        {\"id\": \"${testsuite.testcase.requirements.requirement}\"}
    ],
    \"attachments\": [
        {\"filePath\": \"${testsuite.testcase.attachments.attachment}\"}
    ]
  }]",
  "isDeleted": false,
  "isDefault": false,
  "isSbAutomationTool": false,
  "createdBy": 1,
  "modifiedBy": 1,
  "createdOn": 1581580704000,
  "modifiedOn": 1581581761418 
}

Response fields:

  • id – The template ID in Zephyr. It’s the same ID that you specify in the request URL.

  • jsonTemplate – The template contents (see Parser Template Syntax).

  • isDeleted – Indicates whether the template has been deleted or not.

  • isDefault – true if a template is a pre-configured request, or false if it is a user-defined request.

  • isSbAutomationTool – Reserved for internal use.

  • createdBy – The ID of the user who created the template.

  • createdOn – The creation timestamp.

  • modifiedBy – The ID of the user who modified the template.

  • modifiedOn – The timestamp of the update.

Note

Pre-configured templates cannot be modified.
