Problem with Migrating Query Based Test Suites

[pbcahill]

Hello,

I'm trying to migrate some test plans. Everything else in the source project has already been migrated to the target (all user stories and test cases with revision history, area/iteration node structure, and attachments). The test plans I am trying to migrate have lots of query based test suites. The migration fails on creating them as a query based suite:

TestPlansAndSuitsMigrationContext: Processing DynamicTestSuite : 344840 - UC3 - Get FFP Account
TestPlansAndSuites: Saving DynamicTestSuite : 0 - UC3 - Get FFP Account
TestPlansAndSuites: FAILED DynamicTestSuite : 0 - UC3 - Get FFP Account | TF51011: The specified area path does not exist. The error is caused by «'ResAuto\IVR\IIDS\FFP'».

So while the path does exist in the target, that error message has the source team project name in the log as the root node, not the target team project name. I have already made sure PrefixProjectToNodes was set to false on every applicable processor I ran.

The migration ends up creating the suite as a static suite, but then doesn't add any of the test cases. The resulting Test Suite name for the error above is "BROKEN: UC3 - Get FFP Account | TF51011: The specified area path does not exist. The error is caused by «'ResAuto\IVR\IIDS\FFP'»."

Does this tool support migrating query based test suites? If so, any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you,
Patrick

It looks like it does not support Query based Test Suits. Since there is no guarantee that the fields, or area paths will exist in the target this can be very problematic. I agree that we could do a better job of updating the query data for area or iteration paths.

We would happily take a pull request if you want to fix this issue.
