Railflow VSCode Extension for TestRail

Railflow Extension enables TestRail users write TestRail tests directly in VSCode, download existing TestRail tests to VSCode projects, version control them using GIT, and upload them to TestRail from VSCode.

Docker extension overview

The VSCode Extensions provides a few main TestRail workflows within the VSCode interface

Tests : Download Tests
Tests: Write and Edit tests using a Rich Text Editor
Tests: Batch upload tests from VSCode to TestRail
Version Control using GIT or any other SCM
Offline mode - Write tests locally and commit/upload as needed

Installation

Install: Install the Railflow VSCode Extension from VSCode Marketplace

Configuration

Configure: Configure the Railflow VSCode Extension by navigating to Extenions > Railflow TestRail Extension > Extensions Settings.

Fill out form with TestRail URL, Username, Password/Apikey, and Railflow license key.

Sync Project

In order to version control TestRail tests, you need to first download/sync tests using Railflow VSCode Extension. Once the extension has downloaded tests to the local folder, you can add/edit tests and then commit them to Git. This whole workflow is surprisingly simple.

Initialize: Create an empty local folder and import it into VSCode Workspace using the Open Folder button.

Sync Tests: Navigate to Railflow Extenion > Import TestRail Project and select the project from the dropdown. The sync may take some time and depends on the total number of tests in the project. You can see the sync activity in the VSCode Output tab.

Once the import action is complete, you should be able to see the TestRail project's test suites, section, and test within the extension's navigation tree.

Tests & Sections

Once a project has been imported, you can easily add/edit new tests or sections.

The Project, Suite, and Test entities expose useful menus to navigate to TestRail, Finder, and Add new entities.

Rich Text Test Editor

Railflow VSCode Extension exposes a TestRail like UX using the latest in React UX libraries, including highly interactive markdown controls. Simply write and format your test cases, check in to GIT, and upload them to TestRail.

Version Control

Once the tests and sections have been created or edited, simply commit them to GIT and then upload to TestRail using the Project, Suite, and Test context menus.
