Get the comments for my manual tests

The following flow demonstrates how to get a list of the comments for manual tests assigned to me. I do not want to see comments for Gherkin tests.

Entity relationship diagram

We need to access the following entities for this flow, and understand the relationships between these entities.

The following shows the relations in the flow.

Entity	Relationships in this flow	Description of relationship	Reference / relationship fields
Tests	Manual Tests, Gherkin Tests, and Test Suites	This aggregate resource collection represents types of tests, including manual, Gherkin, test suites, and automated.	subtype
Manual Tests	Tests	The manual test is a subtype of the tests aggregate resource collection. The manual test can also be accessed in the manual_tests resource collection. There is no field that relates back to the aggregate resource collection, tests.	None
Manual Tests	Workspace Users	A manual test can be assigned an owner.	owner
Manual Tests	Comments	A manual test can have 0 or more comments.	comments

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
