Use a TestCase for quick testing

Scenario

Configuration is not doing quite what you want, and sending email/waiting/checking is time consuming. There has to be a better way. There is! JEMH TestCases allow you to trigger processing of a TestCase email with the Profile of your choice.

Precursors

• Create a Profile

Configuration Review

First, check the Profile Email settings:

• Bulk email relates to content that may come from a distribution network, eg mailing list, such mail has an email header Precedence: Bulk. JEMH gives you the option to Allow/Ignore(drop) or Forward to the 'forwardUser' (see Notifications config section)

• There is no specific catchemail value, indicating that all mail will be processed by this profile.

• There is also no jemhAddresseeRegexp value, this means your JIRA could LOOP. A Regexp value can be as simple as the 'one' email address associated with an inbox, eg: inbox@yourco.com , or if there are multiple to: addresses to be handled, it could be a wildcard, e.g.: .*@yourco.com

Next, check the Profile Project settings:

• The Fallback Project is the project to use if no other configuration determines it should go elsewhere, use this to ensure that an email ends up somewhere, even if its not quite where you expected.

• The Fallback Component is used if the target project is the Fallback Project and if no other configuration determines it should go elsewhere, use this to perhaps notify a component owner that the 'default' configuration was used, when it perhaps shouldn't have been.

• Project auto-assign, when your JIRA allows unassigned issues, perhaps you don't want email to arrive and not be assigned. This option enables JEMH to pick a component owner, if its set, or the Lead, ensuring someone knows.

• Project Mappings, are how JEMH achieves fine grained control over the routing of messages, and is discussed separately.

Open

Finally, check the Profile User settings:

• The Default reporter user name will be used if the sender of the incoming email does not match a registered jira user (with or without Right to Use JIRA). If this is NOT specified (and user creation is disabled) there will be no 'reporter' and the mail will be rejected.

Activity

Access the JIRA Administration Screen and click the JEMH Configuration link

Access the JEMH TestCase Tab via the JEMH Configuration screen:

Click on "Create":

For now use the default email header, note the Profile selection combo. Hit "Create" to save:

As the Test Case is associated with a Profile, you can run it by clicking “Create” and then using the “Run” action:

Resulting in the Test Case report screen:
