[SOLVED] Is it possible to somehow automatically create jobs in TestLink from Jenkins?

Is it possible to somehow automatically create jobs in TestLink from Jenkins?

I'm doing a bit of reasearch on Jenkins and TestLink and I was wondering - is it possible to automatically generate new project/job in TestLink or does it always have to be done manually? The issue is that I would like to run tests on Jenkins and then all the test that failed should create a new job in TestLink.

Is it possible and how to do it?

Solution

With default TestLink Jenkins plugin you can't create new projects automatically on TestLink. You will end up in below type of error

FATAL: Test Project (name:TestSample1234) does not exist.

Maybe you can achieve this by customizing the Jenkin plugin, please have look in plugin code [1] and [2] or asked from testlink forum [1] https://github.com/jenkinsci/testlink-plugin [2] https://github.com/kinow/testlink-java-api
