TestLinkExample fails running against latest testlink_1_9_20_fixed

[lczub]

issue #149 reports failing TestLinkExample running against testlink_1_9_20_fixed in sample line 713 - myTestLink.copyTCnewVersion()

try to reproduce this with new build TL Server with testlink_1_9_20_fixed, using testlink-pg-docker - build-and-run-testlink-1920fixed lets fail running TestLinkExample already in sample line 367 -

Hi,

I have also experienced this issue. I believe this is the result of a design change in testlink-code which breaks backward compatibility.

Platforms now have on_design and on_execution flags, which are disabled by default as depicted below.

I could not update TestLink-API-Python-Client project to succesfully enable the on_execution flag when creation a platform (I believe testlink project does not support it yet).

Instead I had to modify the testlink server project code to set the on_execution flag to 1 when creation the platform.

For what it's worth, here is the change in testlink-code project

Hello Elapfra,
thanks for your explanation.
I start now to understand and must apologize, that I haven't yet implemented the known api change #139.

Guess that would give us the required switches platformOnDesign and platformOnExecution.

Let me try this out

[lczub]

createPlatform accepts now new optional args platformondesign and platformonexecution ( see #139)
sample

newPlatForm = myTestLink.createPlatform(NEWPROJECT, NEWPLATFORM_A, 
        notes='Platform for Big Birds, unique name, only used in this project',
        platformondesign=True, platformonexecution=True)
