Starting in 1.2, CDash is introducing the CDash API with a minimal function. The API is still in beta and the response code might change in the near future. In CDash 1.7 we are adding a more complex API framework.

General API

This section describes the CDash web API. The CDash REST API is generic and the GET url is usually formatted as follows:

 http://mycdashserver/api/?method=method_name&task=task_name&project=project_name

The URL should be encoded accordingly to the HTTP 1.1 protocol and by default the result is returned as a JSON array.

Project API

  • Method name: project

List

  • Task name: list
  • Description: Returns a list of projects id and names
 http://mycdashserver/api/?method=project&task=list
 
  • Return an array of projects:
    • array[]['id'] = project id
    • array[]['name'] = project name


Build API

  • Method name: build

Defects

  • Task name: defects
  • Project name: mandatory
  • Description: Returns an array of build defects over time (currently limited to the 1000 last entries)
 http://mycdashserver/api/?method=build&task=defects&project=MyProject

    • build['builderrors'] = number of build errors
    • build['buildwarnings'] = number of build warnings
    • build['testnotrun'] = number of tests not run
    • build['testfailed'] = number of tests failed

Checkins/Defects

  • Task name: checkinsdefects
  • Project name: mandatory
  • Description: Returns an array of build defects and number of updated files for the build
  • Currently limited to the last 1000 builds for the project
 http://mycdashserver/api/?method=build&task=checkinsdefects&project=MyProject
 
  • Return an array of builds: array(build);
    • build['nfiles'] = number of updated files
    • build['builderrors'] = number of build errors
