Creating Test Session with defined parameters - MultiValue issue

[kbi]

Hello,

I'm developing software, that is creating test session based on test specification, and i already handled getting data from PTC, but i can't create Test Session using CmdRunner.

 try
            {
                PTC.Command Cmd = new PTC.Command(PTC.Command.IM, "createissue");
                PTC.MultiValue mv1 = new PTC.MultiValue("=");
                PTC.MultiValue mv2 = new PTC.MultiValue("=");
                PTC.MultiValue mv3 = new PTC.MultiValue("=");
                mv1.add("Summary");
                mv1.add("AutoSessionTest1");
                mv2.add("Project");
                mv2.add("/MySampleProject/Electronics");
                mv3.add("Test Objective");
                mv2.add("473680");
                Cmd.addOption(new PTC.Option("type", "Test Session"));
                Cmd.addOption(new PTC.Option("field", mv1));
                Cmd.addOption(new PTC.Option("field", mv2));
                Cmd.addOption(new PTC.Option("field", mv3));
                PTCResponse.Response R = InputEngine.Run(Cmd);
                MessageBox.Show("Test Session Created");
            }
            catch (Exception exc)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(exc.Message);
            }

Do you have an Idea why it won't work?

Best regards,

Chris

What message are you getting back when it fails?

haven´t used MultiValued for some time now, but I believe you only have to use it that way

    Option fieldOption    = new Option("field");
    MultiValue multiValue = new MultiValue("=");
    multiValue.add("fieldName");
    multiValue.add("fieldValue");

 MultiValue multiValue1 = new MultiValue("="); 
multiValue.add("fieldName1"); 
multiValue.add("fieldValue1");

    // Add the MultiValue object to the Option object.
    fieldOption.add(multiValue);
 fieldOption.add(multiValue1);

the integrations builder guide unfortunately has no sampe, this is copied from the javadoc..

I personally don´t use multivalue

you can also add the same command option multiple time, e.g.

Command cmd = new Command(Command.IM);
cmd.setCommandName("createissue");
cmd.addOption(new Option("field", "Shared External ID=123456"));

cmd.addOption(new Option("field", "Summary=Summary_123456"));

...

if you want to do troubleshooting you can try running the command using CLI, then you should get a proper error message.

you cannot rely on ex.getmessage(), sometimes the ex has a nested one. the builder guide pdf has some good samples
