In order to make the integration in your Java Maven projects easier, we have developed the Xray-Maven-Plugin. It enables the upload of your Tests directly to Xray with a single Maven command.

The plugin supports single or multi-module projects and multiple test frameworks. With the execution of a single Maven target com.xpandit.xray:xray-maven-plugin:xray, the plugin will upload the results of the tests to your Jira instance.

Troubleshooting

Unable to upload the results file: The process is failing with status code 403

The importing of the execution results file failed and when you check the log, it shows the following:

By default, when you successively 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 Maven project configuration, so it will fail with status code 403 Forbidden.

You will need to log into Jira via the browser and provide the CAPTCHA.

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