SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Claim one test case entry from a run pack to manage distributed testing flows. It enables initializing a new run pack or resuming with the latest pack, then returns the claimed entry data for execution.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Claims the next pending test case from a run pack and outputs the full claim payload, including the entry and test case metadata.
  • Supports Mode A (initial run pack creation and population) and Mode B (subsequent claims using the latest run pack) plus claim-by-name or claim-by-id bypass options.
  • Saves the claim result to /tmp/claim.json for safe shell handling and downstream tooling; exposes RUNPACK_ID and ENTRY_ID for automation.

Quick Start

Create or fetch the latest run pack for your ticket, then run noob-tester runpack claim-smart to obtain the next claim and save it to /tmp/claim.json.

Frequently Asked Questions about noob-claim

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I claim a test case from a run pack for distributed QA automation?▼

Run pack test case claiming fetches the next pending entry using a ticket identifier and run-pack context. It outputs the full claim payload and saves the data to /tmp/claim.json while exposing RUNPACK_ID and ENTRY_ID variables for downstream shell automation.

What is a run pack claim in test case management?▼

A run pack claim retrieves the next pending test case entry from a managed test workload to enable distributed testing flows. It returns the full claim payload including test case metadata and entry data for execution.

Can I claim a specific test case by name or ID instead of the next pending one?▼

Yes, you can bypass standard sequential claiming by using claim-by-name or claim-by-id bypass modes. These options allow you to target and retrieve a specific test case entry from the latest run pack for your ticket.

Do I need a ticket identifier to initialize a new run pack?▼

Yes, a ticket identifier and a run-pack context are required to initialize a new run pack. The system supports Mode A for initial run pack creation and population, and Mode B for subsequent claims using the latest run pack for that ticket.

What limitations exist when resuming claims from the latest run pack?▼

When resuming claims in Mode B, the system uses the latest run pack for the given ticket. A limitation is that claim results are saved locally to /tmp/claim.json, requiring shell access to read the file and retrieve the exposed RUNPACK_ID and ENTRY_ID variables.
