Update Test Configuration after Testrun

Hello, I am trying to update/change the Test Configuration of a Testrun. 

 

Via Rest API it is possible to Patch the Test Result, where i can find the Config ID.

 

Successfully i could update the comment afterwards with 

https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/test/runs/{testRunID}/Results?api-version=7.0

 

[  
	{    
		"id": 100000,    
		"comment": "Website theme is looking good"
	}
]

 

But when updating the Config, only the Revision increments but the Config don't change

 

[
	{	
		"id": 100000,
		"configuration":
		{
			"id": "193"
		}
	}
]

 

Is this field changeable or is it read only? According to the microsoft documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/test/results/update?view=azure-devops-rest-7.0&tabs=HTTP#testcaseresult) the configuration is part of the testresult und it should be able to update.

 

Any Ideas of this?

    Try this:

     

    1. Assign Configurations to Test Cases First

      • Go to the Define tab in Azure DevOps Test Plans.
      • Assign one or more configurations to your test cases.

    2. Generate Test Points

      • Each configuration assigned creates a unique test point.
      • You can list them using the API:
    GET https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{project}/_apis/test/plans/{planId}/suites/{suiteId}/points?api-version=7.0

     

    3. Create a New Test Run with Desired Configuration

      • Use the test point ID that has the configuration you want:
    {
  "name": "New Run",
  "pointIds": [12345],
  "state": "InProgress"
}

     

    4. Update the Result as Needed

      • Once the run is created, you can patch other fields like comment, outcome, etc.
