Swagger - "Mandatory Test Cases value is missing" Error When Creating Test Run

Description

When sending a REST API request to create a test run from test cases through the POST /v3/trackers/{testRunTrackerId}/testruns endpoint with a body similar to the below,

{
    "testCaseIds": [
        {
            "id": 1111,
            "name": "test1",
            "type": "TrackerItemReference"
        },
        {
            "id": 2222,
            "name": "test2",
            "type": "TrackerItemReference"
        }
    ]
}

the server returns the following HTTP 500 error message, although, the test cases exist and are visible for the user sending the request:

"resourceUri": "/trackers/12345/testruns",
"message": "Mandatory Test Cases value is missing"

Observed on

• codebeamer 21.09-LTS (EMMA)

Solution

Ensure the Test Cases field on Test Runs tracker has Edit permissions for the project role sending the REST API request.

In the below example, "Mandatory Test Cases value is missing" error is returned for a Developer role, but not for a Project Admin:

In case the field permissions need to be changed, set or merge the below JSON in the Application Configuration:

"testManagement": {
  "disableEditingBuiltInFieldsName" : false
  }

Additional Information

• Test Case management
• "testManagement" section in Application Configuration
