Implementation Reference
- src/xray-client.ts:324-331 (handler)Core handler function in XrayClient that implements the update_test_case logic. Currently throws an informative error as direct updates are not supported.
async updateTestCase(testKey: string, updates: Partial<TestCase>): Promise<void> { throw new Error( 'Direct test case update is not supported via Xray GraphQL API. ' + 'Use Jira REST API to update standard fields (summary, description, labels, priority). ' + 'Use specific Xray mutations for test definition updates: ' + 'updateUnstructuredTestDefinition, updateGherkinTestDefinition, updateTestType, etc.' ); } - src/index.ts:566-582 (handler)MCP CallToolRequest handler (switch case) that parses input arguments and calls the XrayClient.updateTestCase method.
case 'update_test_case': { const updates: Partial<TestCase> = {}; if (args.summary) updates.summary = args.summary as string; if (args.description) updates.description = args.description as string; if (args.labels) updates.labels = args.labels as string[]; if (args.priority) updates.priority = args.priority as string; await xrayClient.updateTestCase(args.testKey as string, updates); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Test case ${args.testKey} updated successfully`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:83-109 (schema)Input schema definition for the update_test_case tool, defining parameters like testKey, summary, description, labels, and priority.
