*Working* Python API example

[sfunk]

NOTE: hard coded numbers are my local numbers for my own testcases. You will need to dig through the output of the "getTestCases" method to find the real tc_id because I was not able to find it in the testlink database(it's in there, I just don't know where) and it sure as hell isn't displayed through the Testlink GUI hehe.

Also, you will need to manually update your user account with a custom dev key. I couldn't figure out how to access the APIKey.php through python (or any other way for that matter) so i just manually added all 1's to my script_key field in the database.. here's the appropriate mysql command:

UPDATE users SET script_key="11111111111111111111111111111111" WHERE id="6"

Anyhow, this automatically updates my testcase. 2 files:

delete.py


import unittest, time, re
from Testlink.testlink import TestlinkAPIClient


if __name__ == "__main__":
client = TestlinkAPIClient()

print client.getInfo()
print client.getTestCases(109)
# Substitute for tcid and tpid that apply to your project
if 0: # BAD BAD I KNOW, I TOGGLED IT TO SEE IF PASS AND FAIL WERE WORKING
result = client.reportTCResult(103, 109, "p")
else:
result = client.reportTCResult(103, 109, "f")
# Typically you'd want to validate the result here and probably do something more useful with it
print "reportTCResult result was: %s" %(result)
