Re-links scenarios (local test cases) to cloned Test Cases in Azure DevOps.

See more details about the command in the article.

Options

In addition the the options listed here, all can also be used.

Option
Description
Default

--cloneOpId <CLONE‑OPERATION‑ID>

The Id (e.g. 11) of the Clone Operation the scenarios should be re-linked for.

detect from Test Cases

---workItemClonesFile <CSV‑FILE‑PATH>

A path of a CSV file that contains additional Work Item clones to be processed in link tags. The file must have a `source` and a `target` column.

Work item link tags are not changed

Examples

Performs the re-link operation where SpecSync will detect the performed Clone Operation automatically from the Test Cases.

dotnet specsync re-link

Performs the re-link operation for a specific Code Operation ID 42.

dotnet specsync re-link --cloneOpId 42

Performs the re-link operation in dry-run mode (no actual changes are made)

dotnet specsync re-link --dryRun
