I want to update the test results of Cucumber test scenarios to QC ALM using Rest API. I have individual test-set for all automation test scenario (There is a 1-1 mapping between automation test scenario name and test-set name). So to get the test-set id for particular automation scenario, I am calling the rest API through Java.

http://xxxx/qcbin/rest/domains//projects//test-set-folders?query={name['Test']}

while executing this above with get method, I am getting the below error:

qccore.general-errorIllegal query expression: must be surrounded with curly brackets

The GET method works fine, if I have query like this:

?query={id[123]}

The ALM version is 11.52.536. Please help to solve this.

  • Try to amend singlequotes to doublequotes in your query.

    I believe the real case is not about "Test" name, there should be either whitespaces or some special characters vreaking the query grammar

  • What is the exact value you're passing to the failing query?

Pretty late, but if anybody needs this, the problem is with the URL encoding, use %20 instead of white spaces.

For example with "Sprint 2" the URL would be: http://xxxx/qcbin/rest/domains//projects//test-set-folders?query={name["Sprint%202"]} This also affects other special characters, like # (which is %23)

I use this page to verify those simbols: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp
