Rally Software

Hello,

I have written an application that interacts with the Agile Central API. I am seeing a weird behaviour whose cause I am unable to determine. I have the following piece of code:

Request request = new Request("Project");
request.Workspace = "/workspace/" + _workspace;
request.Query = new Query("(Name = \"" + ProjectName + "\")");
QueryResult result = _rallyRestApi.Query(request);

I iterate through this code passing in various project names, the workspace stays the same. I am a member of two large projects which both contain children projects under them. We can call those Project A and Project B. When I run this code I can successfully find Project A and it's children when passing in their names, however as soon as I attempt to find Project B I do not have a result returned. I am able to use the website API page and build the query manually and I get the expected result back however when this small piece of code runs I cannot find Project B. I believe I am entering the name correctly as I've looked at it multiple times now.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Pawel,

Are there any non-alphanumeric characters in the name of Project B? Can you try using the Contains operator and see if that returns Project B?

Thanks,

Sean Davis

Hi Sean,

No, there is only a space in the name, however Project A also contains a space and it is retrieved correctly.

Pawel

I have tried using contains but the query does not return any results, even though when I try the query manually using a browser I successfully get results back.

Hi Pawel,

I have a couple more suggestions:
1. Can you try using this constructor instead of the Query(String) constructor?
   Query Constructor (String, Query.Operator, String) 
2. Can you try running the query by the ObjectID of Project B instead of the Name?

     Query query = new Query("ObjectID", Query.Operator.Equals, "9999999999999");

Thanks,

Sean Davis

Hey Sean,

I've done that, took the Object ID from the Project and modified the query, again no result.

Pawel

Other things I can think of:

1. Triple check both projects are in the same workspace.

2. Make sure Project B is not closed?

3. Login to the application using the exact User used in the c# code and make sure that user can see both projects.

If all of the above checks out, I would recommend logging a support ticket. 

Thanks,

Sean
