NAME

TestRail::API - Provides an interface to TestRail's REST api via HTTP

VERSION

version 0.052

SYNOPSIS

use TestRail::API;

my ($username,$password,$host) = ('foo','bar','http://testrail.baz.foo');
my $tr = TestRail::API->new($host, $username, $password);

DESCRIPTION

TestRail::API provides methods to access an existing TestRail account using API v2. You can then do things like look up tests, set statuses and create runs from lists of cases. It is by no means exhaustively implementing every TestRail API function.

IMPORTANT

All the methods aside from the constructor should not die, but return a false value upon failure (see exceptions below). When the server is not responsive, expect a -500 response, and retry accordingly by setting the num_tries parameter in the constructor.

Also, all *ByName methods are vulnerable to duplicate naming issues. Try not to use the same name for:

* projects
* testsuites within the same project
* sections within the same testsuite that are peers
* test cases
* test plans and runs outside of plans which are not completed
* configurations

To do so will result in the first of said item found being returned rather than an array of possibilities to choose from.

There are two exceptions to this, in the case of 401 and 403 responses, as these failing generally mean your program has no chance of success anyways.

CONSTRUCTOR

new (api_url, user, password, encoding, debug, do_post_redirect)

Creates new TestRail::API object.

STRING API URL - base url for your TestRail api server.
STRING USER - Your TestRail User.
STRING PASSWORD - Your TestRail password, or a valid API key (TestRail 4.2 and above).
STRING ENCODING - The character encoding used by the caller. Defaults to 'UTF-8', see Encode::Supported and for supported encodings.
BOOLEAN DEBUG (optional) - Print the JSON responses from TestRail with your requests. Default false.
BOOLEAN DO_POST_REDIRECT (optional) - Follow redirects on POST requests (most add/edit/delete calls are POSTs). Default false.
INTEGER MAX_TRIES (optional) - Try requests up to X number of times if they fail with anything other than 401/403. Useful with flaky external authenticators, or timeout issues. Default 1.
HASHREF USER_FETCH_OPTS (optional) - Options relating to getUsers call done during new:
BOOLEAN skip_userfetch - Skip fetching all TR users during construction. Default false.

This will save you some time on servers with quite a few users, especially if you don't particularly have a need to know about things related to TR users themselves. If you do need this info, you don't really save any time, however, as it will fetch them in the relevant subroutines that need this information.

Also, on newer versions of TestRail, user fetching is not possible unless you either: * Are an administrator on the server * Provide the project_id (https://www.gurock.com/testrail/docs/api/reference/users)

STRING project_id - String or number corresponding to a project ID to use when fetching users.

Returns TestRail::API object if login is successful.

my $tr = TestRail::API->new('http://tr.test/testrail', 'moo','M000000!');

Dies on all communication errors with the TestRail server. Does not do above checks if debug is passed.

GETTERS

apiurl

debug

Accessors for these parameters you pass into the constructor, in case you forget.

retry_delay

There is no getter/setter for this parameter, but it is worth mentioning. This is the number of seconds to wait between failed request retries when max_retries > 1.

#Do something other than the default of 5s, like spam the server mercilessly
$tr->{retry_delay} = 0;
...
