Description Petr Šplíchal 2012-07-27 14:45:42 UTC

Description of problem:

When creating a new test case providing the new extra_link field
(see bug 797921) has no effect. Please, add possibility to set the
reference link when creating a new test case. Also, the new field
is not documented in the xmlrpc reference. Should be present in
both TestCase.create() and TestCase.update() methods. Thanks.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.8.0

Steps to Reproduce:
TestCase.create({
    'category': 518,
    'product': 182,
    'summary': 'nothing',
    'extra_link': "http://some.host.com/",
    'priority': 3})
  
Actual results:
{'requirement': '',
'create_date': '2012-07-27 22:36:00',
'estimated_time': '00:00:00',
'text': {'case': 'nothing',

Hi Petr,
I run those two methods(TestCase.create(), TestCase.update) on env production just now, they worked well for me. detail steps are as follows,

1. create a new testcase providing extra_link field:
 >>> content = {
    'category': 240,
    'product': 243,
    'summary': 'testsooooooooooooo',
    'extra_link': "http://some.host.com/",
    'priority': 3}

 >>> TestCase.create(content)

=======result==============
{'alias': '',
 'arguments': '',
 'attachment': [],
 'author': 'xgao',
 'author_id': 2923,
 'case_id': 204932,
 'case_status': 'PROPOSED',
 'case_status_id': 1,
 'category': '--default--',
 'category_id': 240,
 'component': [],
 'create_date': '2012-09-24 13:39:45',
 'default_tester': None,
 'default_tester_id': None,
 'estimated_time': '00:00:00',
 'extra_link': 'http://some.host.com/',
 'is_automated': 0,
 'is_automated_proposed': False,
 'notes': '',
 'plan': [],
 'priority': 'P3',
 'priority_id': 3,
 'requirement': '',
 'reviewer': None,
 'reviewer_id': None,
 'script': '',
 'summary': 'testsooooooooooooo',
 'tag': [],
 'text': {'action': '',
  'author': 'xgao',
  'author_id': 2923,
  'breakdown': '',
  'case': 'testsooooooooooooo',
  'case_id': 204932,
  'case_text_version': 1,
  'create_date': '2012-09-24 13:39:45',
  'effect': '',
  'id': 298802,
  'setup': ''}}

===========================

2. update above testcase's extra_link field,
 >>> TestCase.update(204932 ,{'extra_link': 'http://www.baidu.com'})
================result==================
[{'alias': '',
  'arguments': '',
  'attachment': [],
  'author': 'xgao',
  'author_id': 2923,
  'case_id': 204932,
  'case_status': 'PROPOSED',
  'case_status_id': 1,
  'category': '--default--',
  'category_id': 240,
  'component': [],
  'create_date': '2012-09-24 13:39:45',
  'default_tester': None,
  'default_tester_id': None,
  'estimated_time': '00:00:00',
  'extra_link': 'http://www.baidu.com/',
  'is_automated': 0,
  'is_automated_proposed': False,
  'notes': '',
  'plan': [],
  'priority': 'P3',
  'priority_id': 3,
  'requirement': '',
  'reviewer': None,
  'reviewer_id': None,
  'script': '',
  'summary': 'testsooooooooooooo',
  'tag': []}]
=======================================



So, could you check your script, trying to run it again? See whether it works well now? And if you still get error, pls give us your detail info, and tell us how to reproduce your problem.

Thanks very much.
Xin
