Hey everyone, I’m having a tough time figuring out how to use Python to get test cases from a CSV file into our JIRA Xray Test repository. I’ve got a script that connects to JIRA with a Personal Access Token, and I’m trying to use the JIRA REST API. But every time I run it, I keep getting a 500 response error. The test cases just won’t import into Xray.
Has anyone dealt with this before? I’m pretty stuck and could really use some help or tips on how to make this work. Maybe there’s a better way to approach this that I’m not seeing? Or is there something specific about Xray that I’m missing?
I’d be super grateful for any advice or examples you could share. Thanks in advance for any help!
I’ve actually tackled this issue before when migrating our test cases to JIRA Xray. The 500 error you’re encountering is often due to payload formatting or permissions. Here’s what worked for me:
First, double-check your API endpoint. Make sure you’re using the correct Xray-specific endpoint, not just the general JIRA one.
Next, review your JSON payload structure. Xray expects certain fields in a specific format. I found success by breaking down my payload into smaller chunks and testing each part separately.
Also, don’t forget about rate limiting. If you’re sending too many requests too quickly, JIRA might throw a 500 error. I implemented a simple delay between requests to mitigate this.
Lastly, enable debug logging in your script. This helped me pinpoint exactly where things were going wrong. You might spot an issue in how you’re handling the CSV data or constructing the request.
Hope this helps! Let me know if you need more specific guidance.
hey there, i’ve dealt with similar issues before. make sure ur using the right xray endpoint, not just the general jira one. also, check ur json payload structure - xray can be picky. if ur still getting 500 errors, try adding a delay between requests. rate limiting can be a pain. good luck!
As someone who’s worked extensively with JIRA Xray and Python, I can offer some insights. The 500 error you’re encountering is often a server-side issue, but it can be triggered by various client-side problems. First, ensure your API endpoint is correct for Xray specifically. Double-check your JSON payload structure against Xray’s documentation - even small discrepancies can cause issues. Rate limiting could be a factor; try implementing a delay between requests. Also, verify that your Personal Access Token has the necessary permissions for test case creation in Xray. Lastly, enable verbose logging in your script to pinpoint where the error occurs. This approach helped me resolve similar issues in the past. If you’re still stuck, consider sharing a sanitized version of your code for more targeted advice.
