  • 6 minutes to read

    • Manages test user jobs to be executed in a cloud runner for Automated Test Framework (ATF). This API is part of the CloudRunnerApi script include.

    You can use this API for the following tasks:
    • Start the user test job.
    • Set the cloud user.
    • Check if the user specified is valid.
    • Check the progress of the user test job.
    • Cancel the test job.

    In global scope, this API is executed within the sn_atf_tg namespace. You must have the ATF Test Generator and Cloud Runner (sn_atf_tg) plugin activated to use this API.

    TestUserApi – cancelJob(String snboqId)

    Sets the test user job status in the Browser Orchestration Queue [sn_atf_tg_sn_boq] table to complete.

    Table 1. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    snboqId String Required. The sys_id of the BOQ record in the Browser Orchestration Queue [sn_atf_tg_sn_boq] table.
    Table 2. Returns
    Type Description
    null Null if successful, error message otherwise.
    Error If unsuccessful, possible error messages:
    • No BOQ ID passed in – The JSON object provided doesn’t have a BOQ ID entry. Verify that the JSON object is structured as {snboqId: "<sys_id>"}.
    • Invalid BOQ sys_id passed in – The ID provided must be for a BOQ record in the Browser Orchestration Queue [sn_atf_tg_sn_boq] table.

    The following example shows how to start a test user for the admin user, get the progress, and cancel the test user. After confirming the locked out user as a valid cloud user, the code sets the cloud user as an ITIL administrator. In the global scope, use the sn_atf_tg namespace.

    var snboqId = CloudRunnerAPI.TestUserAPI.startJob({username: "abel.tuter"});

gs.info(JSON.stringify(CloudRunnerAPI.TestUserAPI.progress({snboqId: snboqId})));

CloudRunnerAPI.TestUserAPI.cancelJob({snboqId: snboqId});

gs.info(CloudRunnerAPI.TestUserAPI.isValidCloudUser({username: <name of the user who has been locked out>}));

CloudRunnerAPI.TestUserAPI.selectCloudUser({username: "itil_admin"});

    Output:

    {progress: 64, state: running}
User is missing the following criteria: 
	User is locked out
False

    TestUserApi – isValidCloudUser(String username)

    Checks whether a provided user is a valid cloud user.

    Table 3. Parameters
    Name Type Description
    username Object Required. User ID of a valid user listed in the Users [sys_user] table. This value is provided as a string in a JSON object. For example, {username: "abel.tuter"}.
    Table 4. Returns
    Type Description
    Boolean

    Flag that indicates whether the user provided is a valid cloud user.

    Valid values:
    • true: The user provided is a valid cloud user.
    • false: The user provided is invalid for one or more of the following reasons:
