Unable to create new build with optional arguments

[hayatmor]

I was trying to create new build with the following parameters and was succeeded to create it only with 3 parameters (721816, "4.00.122,buildnotes)

tlss = TestlinkAPIGeneric(TESTLINK_API_PYTHON_SERVER_URL,TESTLINK_API_PYTHON_DEVKEY)
newBuild = tlss.createBuild(721816, "4.00.122.123",
buildnotes='Notes for Build',active=0,open=0,releasedate='2020-11-30')

{'name': '4.00.122.1212253', 'notes': 'Notes for Build', 'testplan_id': '721816', 'closed_on_date': '', 'release_date': '', 'is_open': '1', 'active': '1', 'creation_ts': '2020-03-05 07:04:34', 'id': '118997'}

Hello haytmor,

the trick is, you have to use the child class TestlinkAPIClient instead TestlinkAPIGeneric.

These are the createBuild arguments of the generic api class. It uses the same mandatory and optional parameter as the TL api server it defines

from testlink import TestlinkAPIGeneric
myTestLinkGen = TestlinkAPIGeneric(TEST_URL_1919_DOCKER, TEST_DEVKEY_DOCKER, verbose=False)
print(myTestLinkGen.whatArgs('createBuild'))

createBuild(<testplanid>, <buildname>, [buildnotes=<buildnotes>], [active=<active>], [open=<open>], [releasedate=<releasedate>], [copytestersfrombuild=<copytestersfrombuild>], [devKey=<devKey>])
 Creates a new build for a specific test plan 
        
        active      : 1 (default) = activ  0 = inactiv 
        open        : 1 (default) = open   0 = closed
        releasedate : YYYY-MM-DD
        copytestersfrombuild : valid buildid tester assignments will be copied.

And these are the arguments of the child api class, which tries to define some more comfortable parameter combinations.

from testlink import TestlinkAPIClient
myTestLink = TestlinkAPIClient(TEST_URL_1919_DOCKER, TEST_DEVKEY_DOCKER, verbose=False)
print(myTestLink.whatArgs('createBuild'))

createBuild(<testplanid>, <buildname>, <buildnotes>, [active=<active>], [open=<open>], [releasedate=<releasedate>], [copytestersfrombuild=<copytestersfrombuild>], [devKey=<devKey>])
 Creates a new build for a specific test plan 
        
        active      : 1 (default) = activ  0 = inactiv 
        open        : 1 (default) = open   0 = closed
        releasedate : YYYY-MM-DD
        copytestersfrombuild : valid buildid tester assignments will be copied.

Hope this helps, Luiko

Hi @lczub ,
Thank you for the quick replay!

i fix my code and send this command:
newBuild = myTestLinkGen.createBuild(testplanid=721816,buildname="4.00.122.1234",buildnotes='Notes for Build', active='0',open='0',releasedate='2020-01-30')
this is the result from the TestLink Website(Version TestLink 1.9.13 (Stormbringer)) :

As you can see its only update the build name and the notes , the action/open/realese date wasn't change
this is the full code:
myTestLinkGen = TestlinkAPIGeneric(TESTLINK_API_PYTHON_SERVER_URL, TESTLINK_API_PYTHON_DEVKEY,verbose=False)
'print(myTestLinkGen.whatArgs('createBuild'))'
newBuild = myTestLinkGen.createBuild(testplanid=721816,buildname="4.00.122.1234",buildnotes='Notes for Build', active='0',open='0',releasedate='2020-01-30')
C:\git\python\Scripts\python.exe C:/git/TestLink-API-Python-client-0.8.1/createTestlinkBuild.py
createBuild(, , [buildnotes=], [active=], [open=], [releasedate=], [copytestersfrombuild=], [devKey=])
Creates a new build for a specific test plan

    active      : 1 (default) = activ  0 = inactiv 
    open        : 1 (default) = open   0 = closed
    releasedate : YYYY-MM-DD
    copytestersfrombuild : valid buildid tester assignments will be copied.

Process finished with exit code 0

--**** i try also with the TestlinkAPIClient
and recvied this
myTestLinkGen = TestlinkAPIClient("https://mcpitf.dal.design.ti.com/testlink/lib/api/xmlrpc/v1/xmlrpc.php", "88015afebd363bd4e2f787ea2663b9d6",verbose=False)

Hello hayatmor,

as you can see in CHANGES - TestLink-API-Python-client release notes v0.6.3, the optional parameter active , open and releasedate are supported by the Server not before TestLink v1.19.15.

If you want to use these parameter, you have to update your server first.
