Hi @maBergaoui! Have you tested your changes with a project with multiple platforms? Say you have platforms for browsers, and then you have IE, Chrome and Firefox...

[maBergaoui]

I tested it on an android project using a real phone and 2 emulators. The test was made on a cross platform project on Jenkins (the tests were simultaneous)

Sorry, I think I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was if you tried your code with 2 or more platforms created in TestLink, and assigned to the test plan?

[maBergaoui]

Yes. I created 3 platforms in TestLink (phone1, emulator1 and emulator2) and assigned them to the test plan. Then i launched the tests via Jenkins and the result results were successfully updated in TestLink for each platform.

Hmm, and you created one job for each platform? Or did you use a matrix job? :D

I'm starting to feel that you've found the solution for a long time problem that I've been struggling to fix in the plug-in

[maBergaoui]

It was a matrix job with an axis that i called platformName
In the testLink config part in Jenkins I just had to put ${platformName} in the field I added to the plugin.

That's brilliant!

I'll give it a try and will merge it :D thanks @maBergaoui !

After I created the plug-in, I discovered that it didn't work with platforms... I tried fixing in 1.x, later in 2.x, and finally implemented platforms with TAP + YAMLish. But I had to specify the platform in the test result, and it only worked with TAP.

Now, with your solution (that now seems like the obvious one for me) we can finally have platforms in testlink-plugin in a simple and neat way.

Thanks a lot @maBergaoui! :D have a super weekend! 👍

[maBergaoui]

Thank you :) Have a nice weekend :D

@maBergaoui, I'll try to merge it this weekend :D stay tuned, thanks again!

Merged and running some tests. Will cut a release this weekend with this change too :-) thanks for your patience and contribution.
