While using testlink api for getting the test cases based on testplan, for testplans with fewer testcases it works fine but for the testplan with many testcases the same api is not working .

I am executing the following lines to get the testcases of the testplan

from testlink import TestlinkAPIClient, TestLinkHelper, TestGenReporter, TestlinkAPIGeneric
tl_helper = TestLinkHelper()
myTestLink = tl_helper.connect(TestlinkAPIGeneric)
mytestlink.getTestCasesForTestplan(plan_id)

and the error i am getting is as follows
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

Hello ams1234,

You found an interesting issue. The traceback says, the TL server response XML data section is not valid - some closing XML tag is missing.

So it looks for a server problem - do you see inside the TL server or Web server logs with a matching time stamp?

If you want to see/analyse hugh xml output, you can enable the TL api client debugging mode - see How to check original exchanged XML data.

An alternative if you just want to make it running, what about calling getTestCasesForTestplan with some optional args to reduce the output? List of arguments see mytestlink.whatArgs('getTestCasesForTestplan')

Hope this helps a little.

Hello lczub,

Have checked the api call with giving optional arguments .... one of the options which is relevant is platform id , do testlink api has any api for getting all the platforms from the testlink server. Searched on the internet , could not get any example can you please provide the link for the documentation for the same or just an example

Hello ams1234,

what about the samples included in this project?
You find sample calls with comments in TestLinkExampleGenericApi.py

Hi Everyone,
I am in the process of extracting test cases from Testlink through the method getTestCasesForTestPlan(test_plan_id, Buildid), but it is retrieving all test cases instead of limiting the results to those assigned to the particular build.
Lets consider, I have a test plan titled "TestcaseExecution" that includes two builds. The first build, "ALL_Testcases," contains 55 assigned test cases, while the second build, "priority_HIGH_Testcases," has 12 assigned test cases.
However, when retrieving test cases using the "TestcaseExecution" test plan with the "priority_HIGH_Testcases" build, all 55 test cases are being selected for execution.
I would appreciate any assistance regarding this issue.
