Overview

Xray enables easy integration with Jenkins through the "Xray for JIRA Jenkins Plugin", providing the means for successful Continuous Integration by allowing users to report automated testing results.

...

The installation is made manually. For more information on how to install add-ons, please refer to to how to install add-ons.


Info
titleRequirements

The Jenkins baseline for this app is v2.138.4 and it may not work properly with previous versions.

...

Xray for Jenkins is configured in the global settings configuration page  Manage Jenkins >  > Configure System > Xray > Xray for Jira configuration.

Jira servers

The Jira servers configuration defines connections with Jira instances. 

To add a new Jira instance connection, you need to specify some properties:

  1. Configuration alias
  2. Hosting:  Hosting (instance type) in this case Server/Data Center.
  3. Server Address: The address of the Jira Server where Xray is running
  4. Credentials:
    1. Use the Jenkins Credentials PluginCredentials Plugin to set the username/password (if you are using a Server/Data Center instance).
    2. Make sure that the user you are using have the following permissions in the projects where you want to import the results and import/export feature files: View, Edit, Create..
    3. This field is optional - if you don't want to use a System scoped credential to authenticate in your instance, you can leave this field empty and force the users to use an User scoped credential in the build task.

Notenote: the Configuration ID is not editable. This value can be used in the pipelines scripts.

...

Info
titlePlease note

The user present in this configuration must exist in the JIRA Jira instance and have permission to Create Test and Test Execution Issues

...

This build step will export the Cucumber Tests (i.e., Scenario/Scenario Outlines) in .feature or bundled in a .zip file. The rules for exporting are defined defined here.

It invokes Xray's Export Cucumber Tests REST API endpoint (see more information here).

...

Some fields need to be configured in order to export the Cucumber Tests. As input, you can either specify issue keys (see the endpoint documention documention here) or the ID of the saved filter in Jira.

The custom field IDs can be obtained be obtained using the Jira REST API Browser tool included in Jira. Each ID is of the form "customfield_ID".

Another option, which does not require Jira administration rights, is  is to invoke the "Get edit issue meta" in an existing issue (e.g., in a Test issue) as mentioned mentioned here.

Example: GET GET  http://yourserver/rest/api/2/issue/CALC-1/editmeta

Xray: Build Environment Variables

Since version 2.2.0, the Xray Since version 2.2.0, the Xray plugin will now set some build enviroment environment variables according to the operation result after each of the Xray Steps mensioned mentioned above.


Build Enviroment Environment Variable NameMeaning and Value

XRAY_IS_REQUEST_SUCCESSFUL

Contains the string 'true' if all requests made by the step were sucessefulsuccessful, or 'false' otherwise.

XRAY_ISSUES_MODIFIED

All Issue keys that were modified and/or created by the step, seperated separated by ';' with no duplicated entries (E.g. 'CALC-100;CALC-101;CALC-102').

XRAY_RAW_RESPONSE

The unprocessed JSON response of all requests made by the step, seperated separated by ';'.

XRAY_TEST_EXECS

All Test Execution Issue keys that were modified and/or created by the step, seperated separated by ';' with no duplicated entries (E.g. 'CALC-200;CALC-201;CALC-202').

Please note that in same cases, it will be not possible to determine the issue type of the Issue key returned in the request response and in that case, the key it will only be added to the XRAY_ISSUES_MODIFIED variable.

XRAY_TEST

All Test Issue keys that were modified and/or created by the step, seperated separated by ';' with no duplicated entries (E.g. 'CALC-300;CALC-301;CALC-302').

Please note that in same cases, it will be not possible to determine the issue type of the Issue key returned in the request response and in that case, the key it will only be added to the XRAY_ISSUES_MODIFIED variable.

Info
titlePipeline Project Limitations

Due to Jenkins limitations, these variables will not be set on Pipeline projects.


Examples

Cucumber

In a typical typical Cucumber Workflow, after having created a Cucumber project and the Cucumber tests specified in Jira, you may want to have a project that exports the features from Jira, executes the automated tests on a CI environment and environment and then imports back its results.

...

In this example, we configured the task to extract the the features from a set of issues (PROJ-78 and PROJ-79) to the folder that holds the Cucumber project.

...

To start the configuration, add the build step Xray Xray: Cucumber Features Import Task.

...

To start the configuration, add the post-build action Xray Xray: Results Import Task.

After that, configure it.

In this example, we  we configured the task to import the Cucumber JSON results back to Jira.

...

Once all configurations are done, click Save at the bottom of the page.

After running the jobthe job, the expected result is a new Test Execution issue created in the Jira instance.

...

For Cucumber, Behave, JUnit, Nunit and Robot, Xray for Jenkins allows you to create new Test Executions and have control over newly-created Test Execution fields. You can send two files, the normal execution result file and a JSON file similar to the one Jira one Jira uses to create new issues. More details regarding how Jira creates new issues here. 

For this scenario and example, the import task needs to be configured with the Cucumber JSON Multipart format. When selecting this option, you can additionally configure the Test Execution fields in  in one of two ways:

  • Insert the relative path to the JSON file containing the information, or
  • Insert the JSON content directly in the field.

...

And configured the task to import the the Cucumber JSON Multipart results  results back to Jira.

Once all configurations are done, click Save at the bottom of the page.

...

Apart from supporting Cucumber natively, Xray enables you enables you to take advantage of many other testing frameworks like JUnit. In this sense, Xray for Jenkins lets you import results in other formats besides Cucumber JSON.

...

To start the configuration, add the post-build action Xray Xray: Results Import Task.

After that, configure it.

...

Xray for Jenkins provides support for pipelines projects, allowing you to use Xray specific tasks.

Here is a simple example of a pipeline script using the Xray: Cucumber Features Export Task

There are 3 available steps to be used in a Pipeline project:

  • XrayImportBuilder - Import test results (Junit, NUnit, etc...) from your Jenkins job to Jira
  • XrayExportBuilder- Export feature files from Jira to your Jenkins job workspace

  • XrayImportFeatureBuilder - Import feature files from Jenkins to Jira

Cucumber ("standard" workflow)

This is a declarative example, for JUnit based tests using the multipart variant/endpoint which allows customization over the Test Execution issue fields.By changing the value of the endpointName variable, you can easily adapt it for other automation Cucumber tests using the "standard" workflow (see Testing in BDD with Gherkin based frameworks (e.g. Robot framework, TestNG, NUnitCucumber)).

This is the simplest way to generate your step script, and we strongly recommend the use of this snippet due to the complexity of some task related parameters. 

Jira instances configuration via Groovy script (Jenkins Script Console)

If you use a containerized version of Jenkins, or simply want to avoid creating the Jira configurations manually (using the Jenkins UI), you can use the following script in the Jenkins Script Console.

To use the script below, you just need to modify the contents of the instances and deleteOldInstances variables.

Code Block
languagegroovy
firstline1
titleCreate new Jira instances in Xray global configuration
import jenkins.model.Jenkins
import net.sf.json.JSONArray
import net.sf.json.JSONObject
import com.xpandit.plugins.xrayjenkins.model.HostingType
import com.xpandit.plugins.xrayjenkins.model.XrayInstance
import com.xpandit.plugins.xrayjenkins.model.ServerConfiguration

// true, if you want the old Jira instances removed, false otherwise.
boolean deleteOldInstances = false

/* Represents the Jira instances to be added to the Global Jenkins configuration.
 * - name: the name of the Jira instance to be displayed to the users.
 * - hostingType: must be one of two values. 'SERVER' for Server or Data Center instances OR 'CLOUD' for cloud instances.
 * - url: [ONLY FOR SERVER INSTANCES] the base URL/IP of the Jira server address.
 * - credentialId: [OPTIONAL] the credential ID from the 'Credentials' plugin that will be used to authenticate the jira REST API requests.

Troubleshooting

The build process is failing with status code 403

When you check the log, it has the following:

By default, when you successively uccessively try to log into Jira with the wrong credentials, the Jira instance will prompt you to provide a CAPTCHA the next time you try to log in. It is not possible to provide this information via the build process, so it will fail with status code 403 Forbidden.

...

If you are a Jira administrator, you can go to Jira administration > User Management and reset the failed login.

If you obtain this error, probably you have migrated from an old version of this plugin. You need to open each project/job configuration and save it.
