Questions

Hi,

I found the path from Jira (XRay) to Azure DevOps here, but how about the reverse path, from Azure DevOps to Jira Cloud?

We have the following issue types in ADO (with Jira mapping):

ADO → Jira Cloud
Test Case -> mapped to "Test"
Test Suites -> mapped to "Test Set"
Test Plans -> mapped to "Test Plan"

As far as I have seen, only manual steps are entered in the test cases.

I can transfer the test issues to Jira using the normal Exalate sync, but the entire steps are not transferred because they would have to be entered into Xray.

As a workaround, I wanted to simply include all the steps in the description, which doesn't work properly either. Here is the code for the workaround:

ADO Outgoing

 replica.TestSteps = workItem."Microsoft.VSTS.TCM.Steps"

Jira Incoming

 if (replica.TestSteps) {
   issue.description += "\n\n______\nTest Steps\n______"
   issue.description += "\n${replica.TestSteps}"
}

This produces a description entry that looks like this:

______

When I use the HTML to Markdown Converter it looks like this:

Jira Incoming

 if (replica.TestSteps) {
   issue.description += "\n\n______\nTest Steps\n______"
   issue.description += "\n${nodeHelper.toMarkDownFromHtml(replica.TestSteps)}"
}

</parameterizedstring> 
<parameterizedstring isformatted="true">

</parameterizedstring> 
</step>
</steps>

It would be great if the manual steps were entered correctly in XRay, but the workaround would be enough for me if it was clearly readable. Does somebody has any idea?
