Implementation Reference
- src/tools/test-cases.ts:145-190 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'create_multiple_test_cases' tool. It validates the input using the schema, calls the ZephyrClient to perform the creation, and formats the response.
export const createMultipleTestCases = async (input: CreateMultipleTestCasesInput) => { const validatedInput = createMultipleTestCasesSchema.parse(input); try { const result = await getZephyrClient().createMultipleTestCases( validatedInput.testCases, validatedInput.continueOnError ); return { success: true, data: { results: result.results.map(r => ({ index: r.index, success: r.success, testCase: r.success ? { id: r.data?.id, key: r.data?.key, name: r.data?.name, projectKey: r.data?.project?.id, objective: r.data?.objective, precondition: r.data?.precondition, estimatedTime: r.data?.estimatedTime, priority: r.data?.priority?.id, status: r.data?.status?.id, folder: r.data?.folder?.id, labels: r.data?.labels || [], component: r.data?.component?.id, owner: r.data?.owner?.accountId, createdOn: r.data?.createdOn, links: { self: r.data ? `https://api.zephyrscale.smartbear.com/v2/testcases/${r.data.key}` : undefined, }, } : undefined, error: r.error, })), summary: result.summary, }, }; } catch (error: any) { return { success: false, error: error.response?.data?.message || error.message, }; } }; - src/utils/validation.ts:93-110 (schema)Zod schema for validating the input to the create_multiple_test_cases tool, along with the inferred TypeScript type.
export const createMultipleTestCasesSchema = z.object({ testCases: z.array(createTestCaseSchema).min(1, 'At least one test case is required'), continueOnError: z.boolean().default(true), }); export type CreateTestPlanInput = z.infer<typeof createTestPlanSchema>; export type CreateTestCycleInput = z.infer<typeof createTestCycleSchema>; export type ReadJiraIssueInput = z.infer<typeof readJiraIssueSchema>; export type ListTestPlansInput = z.infer<typeof listTestPlansSchema>; export type ListTestCyclesInput = z.infer<typeof listTestCyclesSchema>; export type ExecuteTestInput = z.infer<typeof executeTestSchema>; export type GetTestExecutionStatusInput = z.infer<typeof getTestExecutionStatusSchema>; export type LinkTestsToIssuesInput = z.infer<typeof linkTestsToIssuesSchema>; export type GenerateTestReportInput = z.infer<typeof generateTestReportSchema>; export type CreateTestCaseInput = z.infer<typeof createTestCaseSchema>; export type SearchTestCasesInput = z.infer<typeof searchTestCasesSchema>; export type GetTestCaseInput = z.infer<typeof getTestCaseSchema>; export type CreateMultipleTestCasesInput = z.infer<typeof createMultipleTestCasesSchema>; - src/index.ts:473-483 (registration)Registration and dispatch logic in the main server handler switch statement. Validates arguments again and calls the tool handler.
