Day 27 - Useful Jenkins REST API endpoints to retrieve TestComplete script result


We've come a long way together through the hard times of manual testing.Now ask is to automate everything.

I have seen QA folks who are putting lot of efforts to automate manual testing using TestComplete tool.  That's not enough. Their next job is to monitor these jobs and make sure that it's running successfully at Jenkins.

We should utilize REST API feature to retrieve details of Jenkins job in POSTMAN itself.

Remote API can be used to do things like these:
  1. retrieve information from Jenkins for programmatic consumption.
  2. trigger a new build
  3. create/copy jobs
This is the format which you should use in GET method mode while sending your request via Postman/ReadyAPI or any other platform
JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/build/TestComplete/api/xml
Or
JENKINS_URL/job/JOBNAME/build/api/json

Get Build Status


1. Specific build number
http://<jenkins_url>/job/<job_name>/<specific_build_number>/TestComplete/api/xml

Response:
<tcSummaryAction _class='com.smartbear.jenkins.plugins.testcomplete.TcSummaryAction'>
    <report>
        <agent>VM_NAME</agent>
        <details>
            <duration></duration>
            <errors>0</errors>
            <timestamp></timestamp>
            <warnings></warnings>
        </details>
        <error>error_message</error>
        <exitCode></exitCode> -- 0 for success --2 for error
        <failedToStart>false</failedToStart>
        <success></success> --true for success --false for failure
        <testName>testcase_name/main</testName>
        <url>web_url_of_the_test_case</url>
    </report>
</tcSummaryAction>

or 

http://<jenkins_url>/job/<job_name>/lastFailedBuild/api/xml
This command would provide result in more expanded form !!!

2. Last build

http://<jenkins_url>/job/<job_name>/lastBuild/TestComplete/api/xml

3. Last successful build

http://<jenkins_url>/job/<job_name>/lastSuccessfulBuild/TestComplete/api/xml

4. Last failed build

http://<jenkins_url>/job/<job_name>/lastFailedBuild/TestComplete/api/xml

5. Console Output 

http://<jenkins_url>/job/<job_name>/<specific_build_number>/consoleText

6. List out all the job names which are appearing on the specific Jenkins page 

http://<jenkins_url_of_specific_page>/api/xml

Day 32 - Python Script to track Available COVID-19 Vaccine Slots for 18+ in India

Image
 Booking a COVID-19 vaccination slot reminds me of good old days of booking a TATKAL ticket in   Indian train. If you are lucky and very fast with Keyboard then we would be able to book the train   ticket  under TATKAL quota. Otherwise Surprise !!!  Same rule applies here too but we don't have idea about the next available slot timings for vaccination. When is the next slot going to open ? Still it's a suspense for us. By the time we come to know that there are few slots available, CoWIN portal ( https://www.cowin.gov.in/home ) shows that it's already booked. I have observed that people are struggling to find an available slots in their locality. So I thought of writing a python script using public API to track the available COVID-19 vaccine slots in the entire city. Task for interested folks who want to send an alert to a group/channel: Please trigger an email or message on WhatsApp/Telegram group whenever you get any data in the output file - "18plus...
