Flow

Let's create the REST API call step-by-step.

  1. We can start by listing all the manual tests in the workspace. When using the manual_tests resource collection, no Gherkin tests, or other tests, are returned.

    GET .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/workspaces/<workspace_id>/manual_tests

  2. Let's build our query_clause. We are only interested in manual tests that are assigned to me, and my ID is 1001.

    GET .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/workspaces/<workspace_id>/manual_tests?query="owner EQ {id EQ 1001}"

  3. Now let's build our fields clause. Some fields are not returned by default unless specifically requested, such as comments. This is for performance optimization. So to see comments, we must explicitly specify this field for it to appear in the response.

    GET .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/workspaces/<workspace_id>/manual_tests?query="owner EQ {id EQ 1001}"&fields=comments

The complete REST API call for this flow is: 

GET .../api/shared_spaces/<space_id>/workspaces/<workspace_id>/manual_tests?query="owner EQ {id EQ 1001}"&fields=comments
