Problem with migrating test plans

[lchwastyk]

Hello everyone
I'm trying to migrate workitems from one project to another project and lately I had some problem with tasks not being assigned to proper PBI, BUG etc. After solving this problem I faced another one when migrating test plans. I got this error:
vstssyncmigrator.exe Information: 0 : Migration Context Start TestPlansAndSuitsMigrationContext
TestPlansAndSuites: Plan to copy 1 Plans?
vstssyncmigrator.exe Warning: 0 : [EXCEPTION] Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value

In attachement you can find configuration file that I'm currently using
vsconfig.txt

I am also facing the exact same error while migrating test plans and suites and there is no details from which i can figure out the real cause here.

• What is the version of the VstsMigration tools are you using
• Can you give me your session ID from the log file so I can look up the exception in the telemetry.

[lchwastyk]

The version is: 7.1.7.0
SessionID: 491a2298-05ec-4312-bf19-a575328a23f0

[MrHinsh]

First, lease update to 7.5.0, which is the latest version...
Second, it looks like this has fallen out of the scope of my 7 day data window. Can you re-run to get the exception and give me the new session ID... The exception should be in the log as well...

Still having the same problem,
[Info]: Running version detected as 7.5.1.0
[Info]: Telemitery Enabled: True

I see the exception... can you send me your config? I am sure there is a missing OnlyElementsWithTag in the config...

[MrHinsh]

Looks like the bug was introduced by @hkoestin when adding #29.

I think if you add an empty OnlyElementsWithTag property to the config for that processor you will get by the error... If so, let me know and I can apply a fix...

[lchwastyk]

The config is in the first post, and you are right there is missing OnlyElementsWithTag, now I've just updated the config with "OnlyElementsWithTag" : "". Now I don't see any errors/exceptions and all test plans were migrated. Thank you Martin for fast repose, I really appreciate it.

[hkoestin]

Sorry for the inconvenience about the tag.
I forgot to adapt the default config to include an empty tag there or just add a check for the null-value.
