Hi Alice,

I don’t know what Jira expects? But 2 things spring to mind:

Hi,

Jira can import directly .xml files from RF, but indeed the --legacyoutput parameter may be required.
Xray support themselves orient on this as the v7.0 is not yet fully supported.

But did your import/POST request already worked, or work at least with a simple/minimal file?
I’m using Xray cloud, and had issue a while ago (where they gave the legacy hint), but the issue was elsewhere in the test structure and variable (empty variable, see this ticket https://jira.getxray.app/browse/XRAYCLOUD-8055).

Maybe if you have more infos on the error code, is the execution ticket the correct one, not a test plan… ?

Regards.
Charlie

Hi Charlie and Damies.,thanks for support,
yes, my execution ticket the correct one, so i think i will try it with --legacyoutput parameter , because i didn’t use that before.
