Re: Lost formatting of test steps when importing Test cases from Zephyr
Also figured out that missing formatting like headings and lists is a known problem with Zephyr export. The answer I got from support: As of now, we can only export text files and we can't export formats. Also, there is no roadmap for this feature. So basically you need to know that if you migrate from Zephyr to Zephyr scale, you'll loose formatting in test steps.1.9KViews1like0CommentsRe: Lost formatting of test steps when importing Test cases from Zephyr
We've figured out that having: "convertWikiMarkup": true, in the settings.json configuration of the tm4j-file-converter prevents text between brackets to be removed. The point 2 with parentheses was not an issue after all (that text was also in some brackets) So the remaining issue here is the lost formatting of bullets / text decoration such as bold, italics and headings in test steps: these are lost after export of Zephyr test cases to XML. Bullets remain in the XML but are not interpreted as separate lines in Import from file, probably due to line breaks are gone as well during the export to XML. I'm posting a question in Zephyr forum in regards to XML export1.9KViews1like1CommentRe: Import testcases from Zephyr using tm4j-file-converter - comments are missing
Hivpelizza Thank you for the reply. In our case we cannot keep the tool we're migrating from, thus the link to the previous test case would work temporarily. I will submit this and some of the other issues we found in test of data migration I will post link here, so that people who encounter the problem with missing comments can upvote. A short note on the importance of comments from us: not all projects use comments functionality in jira in regards to test cases, but in the cases that do it may be to document the review process and as well some of the decisions behind the test case structure / contents. A suggestion in regards to implementation could be to drop the comments thread to a multi-line field for reference - we may end up doing something similar, just using a redundant excel export of test cases with all comments included1.7KViews0likes1CommentLost formatting of test steps when importing Test cases from Zephyr
This one is about import of test cases, that are exported from Zephyr (on premise) to XML, converted using tm4j-file-converter and imported into Zephyr Scale (on premise). What's common for the following 3 points is that the text is present in XML but is gone, once it is imported into Zehyr Scalefrom file using the "Test Management for Jira" option. Examples of formatting that is missing: 1) Text between angle brackets, this is how it looks in source The text between angle brackets is still present in output XMLbut is missing after the import: 2. The same happens for text between parentheses: 3. Formatting like bullet points, which looks like this in the source test case Missing line breaks and headings appear to be missing in the JIRA XML export file already - in the CDATA block containing Zephyr steps content. Are we missing something in the way to convert Zephyr steps to avoid loosing text and some of the formatting (as described in points 1, 2 and 3)? Is there a way to avoid missing line breaks and headings when exporting Zephyr test cases from Jira to XMLSolved2KViews0likes2CommentsImport testcases from Zephyr using tm4j-file-converter - comments are missing
Hello, While evaluating our options for migration of test cases from Zephyr (on premise) to Zephyr Scale (on premise) we stumbled upon an issue in data migration: comments are not present / migrated on imported test cases. input file (from jira export) contains comments session, while output xml file is missing these. What are the options / requirements in order to migrate test cases with comments?1.7KViews0likes3Comments
