kiwitcms-tap-plugin 0.3

Installation

pip install kiwitcms-tap-plugin

Configuration and environment

Minimal config file ~/.tcms.conf:

[tcms]
url = https://tcms.server/xml-rpc/
username = your-username
password = your-password

For more info see tcms-api docs.

This plugin is only concerned with parsing the TAP format and executing tcms-api functions which will create/reuse test cases, test plans and test runs. tcms-api behavior is controlled via environment variables.

For example this is how our own environment looks like:

#!/bin/bash

if [ "$TRAVIS_EVENT_TYPE" == "push" ]; then
    # same as $TRAVIS_TAG when building tags
    export TCMS_PRODUCT_VERSION=$TRAVIS_BRANCH
fi

if [ "$TRAVIS_EVENT_TYPE" == "pull_request" ]; then
    export TCMS_PRODUCT_VERSION="PR-$TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST"
fi

export TCMS_BUILD="$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER-$(echo $TRAVIS_COMMIT | cut -c1-7)"

Further documentation and behavior specification can be found here.

The above configuration creates a separate TestPlan for each branch, see TP-6: [TAP] Plan for kiwitcms/tap-plugin (master), a separate TestPlan for each pull request (recording possible multiple test runs) and separate TestPlan and TestRun for each tag on GitHub! tcms-api has default behavior for Travis CI and Jenkins and allows endless configuration via environment variables.
