I implemented a solution (in JScript) using the .NET api bindings from the testrail website:
// Note: this functionality depends on 3rd party .NET libraries that needed to be compiled by you. We downloaded the testrail .NET api bindings // from the testrail website, along with the Json.NET library. Using visual Studio 2010, we built the Gurock.TestRail library, referencing the Newtonsoft.Json // library. We built x86 and x64 versions using .NET 3.5. In this project, the libraries are stored in a folder next to the project, and have // already been linked to the project via the CLR bridge. testrail = {}; // Use these methods for updating test case statuses in TestRail // Use the methods testrail.passCase, testrail.failCase, testrail.blockedCase, and testrail.retestCase to add case results. // The methods require the run id and the case id // A run id in test rail is formatted like 'R4683'. Remove the letter R from the beginning and just supply the integer. // A case id in test rail is formatted like 'C866870'. Remove the letter C from the beginning and just supply the integer. // // Supplying the additionalFields json object is optional. The request fields can be found in the add_result method definition // of the api at http://docs.gurock.com/testrail-api2/reference-results // e.g. {comment: '<A comment to be logged in the result record>', version: '<free form version info>'} testrail.passCase = function(runId, caseId, additionalFields) { testrail.addStatusAndResultForCase(runId, caseId, additionalFields, 1); }; testrail.failCase = function(runId, caseId, additionalFields) { testrail.addStatusAndResultForCase(runId, caseId, additionalFields, 5); }; testrail.blockedCase = function(runId, caseId, additionalFields) { testrail.addStatusAndResultForCase(runId, caseId, additionalFields, 2); }; testrail.retestCase = function(runId, caseId, additionalFields) { testrail.addStatusAndResultForCase(runId, caseId, additionalFields, 4); }; testrail.runIdAndCaseIdFromTestId = function(testId) { test = testrail.getTest(testId); caseId = test.Item('case_id').Value_2.m_value; runId = test.Item('run_id').Value_2.m_value; return {runId: runId, caseId: caseId}; }; // Support functions for the above functions. These do not need to be called directly outside of this file. testrail.addStatusAndResultForCase = function(runId, caseId, additionalFields, statusId) { additionalFields = additionalFields || {}; additionalFields.status_id = statusId; testrail.addResultForCase(runId, caseId, additionalFields); }; testrail.addResultForCase = function(runId, caseId, additionalFields) { dataObj = testrail.dataDictonary(additionalFields); testrail.sendPost("add_result_for_case/" + runId + "/" + caseId, dataObj); }; testrail.getTest = function(testId) { result = testrail.sendGet('get_test/' + testId); return result; }; testrail.sendPost = function(apiArgsAsString, dataDictionaryObj) { testrail.apiClient().SendPost(apiArgsAsString, dataDictionaryObj); }; testrail.sendGet = function(apiArgumentString) { results = testrail.apiClient().SendGet(apiArgumentString); return results; }; testrail.dataDictonary = function(jsonObj) { var dataD = dotNET.System_Collections.Hashtable.zctor(); for (var key in jsonObj) { if (jsonObj.hasOwnProperty(key)) { dataD.Add(key, jsonObj[key]); } } return dataD; }; testrail.apiClient = function() { var client = dotNET.Gurock_TestRail.APIClient.zctor("https://testrail.blahblah1234.com/testrail/");
client.User = "bojack.horseman@blahblah1234.com";
client.Password = "api_key_from_your_testrail_instance_instead_of_users_pwd";
return client;
};
//TODO: add error handling
//TODO: implement the add_results api call so we can do a bulk update instead of calling add_result_for_case for each case
Usage:
//USEUNIT TestRail
function testUpdateTestRail() {
testrail.retestCase(4683, 866867);
testrail.passCase(4683, 866868, {version: 'Build 10.0.0.1234'});
testrail.blockedCase(4683, 866869, {comment: 'Blocked due to JIRA-4321'}); testrail.failCase(4683, 866870, {comment: 'Failed. JIRA-5678 logged.', version: 'Build 10.0.0.1234'});

Can you tell me it your integration was successful? I am looking at trying the same integration.
Were you able to get results from Test Complete to automatically update TestRail?
What was involved, what issues had to be overcome.
Thanks!
- leandropoblet9 years agoFrequent ContributorCan I please get more information on how to get the library going?
Specially the notes in the script can you clarify the steps to do it?

It's not a RESTful API. So you need to use the code they provide for binding to various languages and integrate it into TC using the CLR Bridge functionality. Which allows you to use external libraries.
The previous poster used the .NET bindings.
So start reading here: https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/advanced/using-external-functions/calling-from-dotnet-assemblies.html
Which is what you'll need to use: http://docs.gurock.com/testrail-api2/bindings-dotnet
Now, I do notice that TestRail refer to that as V2 of their API. I have no idea if the above script was written using these bindings, or ones from an older version.
But above all, you need to understand how to use external libraries. Once you understand that, then you can start worrying about how you create and use one for TestRail. (And you need someone who knows their way around Visual Studio and .NET to make all this work.)

Hi Colin,
Thank you for your reply. Yes I downloaded the API binding and the Json.NET dependency.
I managed to build the project including that dependency. Now I guess the only part missing would be making TestComplete use it.
I'll investigate the link and hopefully will work in the end.
Thanks again!

Hello I am using this code to try out TestRail integration myself, however I'm having difficulties handling the object returned from TestRail.
Currently the only way I am able to retrieve data is using the methods you described:
var caseId = jobject.Item('case_id').Value_2.m_value;
var runId = jobject.Item('run_id').Value_2.m_value;Any way I try to read the data or keys outside of these two lines, I get an empty string.
so a few questions:
1) What type of object is this? (I originally thought JSON but I am unable to use JSON properties to convert to javascript object)
2) Where does "Value_2.m_value" come from?
3) How can I get the keys for 'Item(<key>)' for all items of this object?
Thank you!
