Tested By Link not being created (incorrect wiTargetR id??)

[msalti-aa]

Hi,

I followed the "How-to: Migrating Plans and Suites" to the letter and work items and test plans, suites and cases have all been migrated. The issue is that for "Requirement Based" test suites, none of the link between the test cases and PBI are being created.

To test I validated for one PBI and Test Case, ensured they are both on the target project using the ReflectedWorkItemId and Integration Build fields. I ran the migration tool for the PBI and test cases in question, but no luck in getting the links created.

I get the following warning: WRN: [SKIP] Unable to migrate link where Link of type Microsoft.VSTS.Common.TestedBy-Reverse where wiSourceL=146135, wiSourceR=140266, wiTargetL=334535, wiTargetR=140266 as target WI has nit been migrated.

Based on the Warning message, it appears that the incorrect target WI id is being referenced (wiTargetR=140266), again I did ensure the target project had both work items created.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

wiTargetR defautls to wiSourceR if it cant be found...

Cna you confirm that at the time that 146135 is migrated that 140266 exists in the target?

Hi @MrHinsh, yes 140266 (the PBI) was migrated successfully before 146135 (the test case).

I reran the migration of 146135 by itself again once both work items were on the target and I got the same warning.

That's odd. It should be able to find it. Is the ReflectedWorkItemID filled correctly?

[msalti-aa]

Yes, The ReflectedWorkItemID is filled in correctly, but it seems like when migrating test cases the tool is looking at the IntegrationBuild field on the basic work items.

You do point this out in the here...

"Field map copies the ReflectedWorkItemId to Microsoft.VSTS.Build.IntegrationBuild".

I just failed to notice that I should have added the field mapping for this..

"CommonTools": {
      "FieldMappingTool": {
        "Enabled": true,
        "FieldMaps": [
          {
            "FieldMapType": "FieldToFieldMap",
            "sourceField": "Custom.ReflectedWorkItemId",
            "targetField": "Microsoft.VSTS.Build.IntegrationBuild",
            "defaultValue": "",
            "ApplyTo": ["*"]
          }
        ]
      }
    }

Thanks for your response, and all your work maintaining this tool! 🫡

Hi @MrHinsh, I think I might have found my mistake. I wasn't using Field map to map the ReflectedWorkItemId to IntegrationBuild for basic work items. Once I fixed this it appears to be relating the test cases.

The lesson appears to be that test cases rely on the basic work item having the old work item id in the integrationBuild field.

Thanks you!
