LRE Rest API - Python - Are there server logs? If so, where?

Harry Melamed 4 months ago

Hi all

I'm just getting started with LRE API Rest and I'm facing some issues.

I'm using Python to call the API. This code isn't working and giving back 500 server error with generalized response, Are there server logs that will show the detailed error? And where are the located?

Code Snippet

def RunTest(TestId, TestInstance):

url = 'loa-lre-qa.pncint.net/.../StartRun + str(TestId)

headers = {'Content-type': 'application/json'}

data = {"DurationInMinutes":30,"IsUseVuds":False,"VudsAmount":0,"IsNewReservationMode":True,"PostRunAction":0,"TestInstanceId":TestInstance,"ReservationId":-1}

response = s.post(url, data=json.dumps(data), headers=headers)

Output_Debug(url, response.status_code, response.content)

When I explore the API to start a run, I find Start a test run. That looks different than what you are trying to do.

BTW warnings/errors in LRE can be found in the logs of IIS or at LRE_INSTALL_DIR\orchidtmp\LTLogger In orchidtmp there are more directories that might contain logging/tracing info, but I would expect that the API errors are below LTLogger folder.

This confuses me too. The documentation show an XML input, but when we use postman we can send the json.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi Harry Melamed , The API documentation is not that extensive. In the general section you might find remarks that you can use (post/get) JSON data structures, it is later added. I guess that not all pages of all APIs are updated. But you can do fortunate a lot of things with the API. Unfortunate it takes some experimenting iso reading the documentation...

Success, Erik
