[TF26198 ] DeniedOrNotExistException - Unable to GetWorkItem

[purohitamit]

Hi, I am not sure why I am getting this error. Says unable to GetWorkItem with id 1185, however the Test Plan with the ID 1185 and Test Suite and selected test case is visible in the Test Plans Section in target ado but only Test Suite and test case are visible in the Boards. Can someone please throw some light on it. Config seems to be ok, not sure what I am missing. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you.
I ran the WorkItemConfig processor first to copy all the work items excluding Test Plan and Test Tuite and then I ran the TestPlanAndSuitesMigrationContext.

Below is the error log :

I have also tried to go through the previous responses for the same issue as this has been raised many time and explained many times as well but no luck with me.

[MrHinsh]

Have you tried to just open that one work item? 1185?

https://dev.azure.com/[org]/[project]/_workitems/edit/1185/

Just stick _workitems/edit/1185/ on the end of the project URL and see what you get. I'd place a bet that its been deleted or is somehow inaccessible. The system does Test Plans and Suits in a very strange way. Test Plans and Suits are made up of:

• Test Plan Item in Azure Test Plans
• Test Plan Item in Work Items

It looks like the work item that backs the Test Plan cant be accessed.

Note: You are using the new version that does not just run home to the "unable to create store" message that was there previously. I was concerned that the Work item ID it was trying to load was null, but from your log above it looks fine.

[purohitamit]

Thank you @MrHinsh for the explanation. I can access the work item using [https://dev.azure.com/[org]/[project]/_workitems/edit/1185/ and also when change the option to Recently created on the boards instead of recently updated however that work item is inaccessible under the Recently Updated section of work items so I am not sure why it throws the error work item not found.

[MrHinsh]

Are you using the same user account?

[MrHinsh]

The error is coming directly from the Azure DevOps Object Model.

[purohitamit]

I am using my personal account for testing where I have created source and target organisations. Haven't tried this on work account yet as I wanted to test it first. Rest of the processors are working fine in my work account.account

[MrHinsh]

This may now be resolved as of https://github.com/nkdAgility/azure-devops-migration-tools/releases/tag/v14.3.6

[purohitamit]

Yes it did worked now, updated to v14.3.6. Thank you for resolving it @MrHinsh. This tool is Superb.
