Forum SquashTM

Following pre-requisite has been completed

Install and set up Squash TM
Install and set up Squash TA Toolbox (including Framework and Eclipse)
Setup Squash TA-TM Link

I created maven project and was successfully able to run the test script using eclipse, Jenkins and commandline prompt (Not to forget - with the help from Squash Support -http://www.squashtest.org/forum/ta-scri ... in?lang=en)


Inorder to run the automation test from TM, I followed the steps in the Squash tutorial/ documentation and at present am stuck with one of the issue

I select a test case from Test Cases Workspac. Click on (Click to edit..) for Auto.script field and then I select the Pick.. button

Now the window that opens up includes only the Job name and not the test associated to it


Squash TA version used is 1.8.0-RELEASE (pulled from the pom.xml) and Squash TM version is 1.11.0.RELEASE (fetched from administration panel of Squash TM)

Also attached is the pom.xml file for reference and also the screenshot wherein the tests are not displayed

Missed out attaching pom.xml

Not sure why the attachment is not visible. hence pasting the content of the POM file

Hello,

Have you already run this jenkins job ?

In fact Squash TA generate the list of .ta script in the project through two ways:
[ul]
[li]By using the 'list' goal of the TA maven plugin[/li]
[li]As first step of the 'run' goal of the TA maven plugin[/li]
[/ul]
This generated list of .ta script is then published by jenkins at the end of the job.

TM use this published list to display the available .ta script. So if no job execution has been done, then no list is published and no .ta script are displayed in the TM popup. I think it's what happen in your case.

Regards

HI
Thanks for quick response.
I confirm that the jenkins jobs was executed multiple times but it still doesn't list the tests under the job.

Anything else that i need to try?

First, try to launch with the target on eclipse : mvn squash-ta:test-list

After, launch on Jenkins manually with the parameter goal = squash-ta:test-list

If it works, the problem is around TM and TA link and need détails on your configuration file. Please let me know...

Hi

It could be a problem of rights of the jenkins user declared in TM. Try to give more rights to this user in jenkins.

Regards

As advised, I tried launching on eclipse and Jenkins manually with test-list- It lists my test associated to the project. So it works

Could you please elaborate of configuration files related to TM-TA link that i need to share with?

Thanks in advance

Following are the things I tried

1. New user creation from the login screen of Jenkins

Login - Create an account

User: tmserver / tmserver

Later based on your comment tried to give privileges to specific user (doubt if that will make any change as its already set to allow to perform anything for anyone)

This was done from Configure Global Security page. (Assuming thats the only way to do it)

Changed the Authorization parameter from " Anyone can do anything" to "Matrix based secuirty"

Gave anonymous user "read only" and "tmserver" user full access

Run the job from jenkins and then checked the test cases workspace. Tests are still not listed in it

Also tried adding it to Global credentials list(to figure out if it makes any difference) but that too didnt help


There seems some minute stuff that I am missing. Is there something else that I need to check?

Brief description on the steps carried out for TM-TA link


From TA:
1. Securing the Squash TA server

Configure Global Security in jenkins -
Check "Enable security",
In "Access Control / Security Realm" select "Jenkins's own user database"
Check "Allow users to sign up"
Set "Authorization" to "Anyone can do anything"

Created an user with login / password : tmserver / tmserver


2. Configure TM callback


In jenkins -> Managed files

Created a Global Maven settings.xml with name TaGlobalsSettings and comment Maven global settings for squash TA project with content pre-populated

Created a custom file conf.properties with comment TM-TA link configuration file and content as mentioned below

endpoint.1=http://server:8080/squash (obvious that the server name is provided in the url)
endpoint.1.login=taserver
endpoint.1.password=taserver


From TM:

1. Configure Squash TM properties

Updated the tm.testautomation.conf.properties file in services (ex : C:\Squash-TM\conf\services) folder to have tm.test.automation.server.callbackurl=http://server:8080/squash/ .. "Obvious that the server is updated in the URL"

2. Create a Test Automation Server User:

User created with credentials taserver/taserver and group = Test Automation Server

3. Create a Test Automation Server

Name: Test

URL: http://server:9080/jenkins (obvious server is updated in the URL)

Login: tmserver

Password: tmserver


4. Link an Automated server to a Project


Selected Test in the Execution server details for the project and respective job created in jenkins


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ran the jenkins Job


Once the job worked fine and was successful, navigated to Tst cases workspace in Squash TM . Selected a test case within the project . Click on pick for Aut,.script filed.

Actual: Still tests were not displayed. It was just the job
