402960 - usability issue: workflow broken when creating a new run for which no build yet exists

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testopia :: User Interface, defect)

Description

[Mary Ann May-Pumphrey]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3
Build Identifier: 1.3.1

If one attempts to create a new run for a product which does not yet have any builds, one is forced to first create a build.  But then, one lands on a confirmation page for the build and has to start the new run process over.  It would be better if Testopia kept the user on track to create the new run s/he started to do.





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Point browser at http://landfill.bugzilla.org/testopia_tip and login
2.  Select  "Testopia:New Run" link.
3.  Enter "6" as the "plan id" and then select the "Use This Test Plan" link.
4.  Note large red-background error message.  Select the "here" link to create a new build.
5.  Select "add new" link.
6.  Add values for both the "Build Name" and "Build Description" fields, then select the "Submit" button.


Actual Results:  
The workflow to set up a new run has been broken.  The user lands on a confirmation page for the new build, and has to re-start the process of creating a new run.

Expected Results:  
The user should land on the same "New Run" page as s/he would if a build did already exist.

In the new model, one can enter a build name and have it auto created. Meaning the use no longer needs to leave the page to create builds or environements for that matter.
