Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Webtools Graveyard :: Litmus, defect)

Adding a subgroup into Litmus states that it works, but the subgroup is not available for adding to a testgroup.

I have left the Build Identifier as the firefox ID, since that's the version of firefox I'm using, in case that matters.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to manage subgroups
2. Add a subgroup to Project Calendar Testgroup: Sunbird FFT
3. Type in a subgroup name and click add
4. Go to Manage TestGroups, select Project Calendar
5. Check the list of "all subgroups" on the left side.

Actual Results:  
Subgroup is not available. 
It doesn't show up at all.

Expected Results:  
The subgroup would be available to add to the testgroup. Or, in a perfect world, the add after step 3 would have added it to the selected Test Group.


This used to work as recently as August 18th, 2006. I don't know what happened to this. Zach and I discussed this in #calendar, and he tried rebuilding the Litmus cache but the bug persisted. He directed me to file this one.

I'm going to make this a "Major" feature, because this is clearly a regression in functionality, and it is hampering some of our test case development work in Calendar.

We will use the workaround of adding "ungrouped" testcases to a certain existing subgroup for now.

This should be fixed now.

Go into 'Manage Testgroups,' select the testgroup you wish to manage (Sunbird FFT), and then select the '-Branch' option in the "Branch(es)" dropdown. This will allow you see subgroups that belong to the same product (Calendar) but have not yet been assigned to a testgroup, and hence have no associated branch information. Not necessarily intuitive, but it should get the job done.

Clint: can I also ask you to remove some of the testing/bogus subgroups that I noticed in the db from when you were probably trying to get this working before? Thanks.

Yes, I'll do that.
