TestRail 8.0.6.1019 Server

We’re pleased to announce the release of TestRail 8.0.6.1019 to all our Server customers. This release brings several fixes to improve stability, usability, and overall performance. Key updates include:

• Text Editing Improvements: Fixed issues with undo/redo shortcuts, extra line breaks, and undefined index errors for custom steps.
• Integration and API Fixes: Resolved problems with Jira defect templates, test retrieval via API, and variable assignments in automation workflows.
• UI Enhancements: Addressed inconsistencies in role settings, status labels, and shared steps, along with better handling of large sections and attachment displays.
• Test Case and Run Improvements: Improved visibility of images and screenshots, ensured proper test case assignments, and fixed export formatting issues.
• Security Enhancements: This release includes important updates to address vulnerabilities and further strengthen system security.

Attachment Sharing changes

1. TestRail Admins have a new option in the Administration > Site Settings. When checked, this option will allow attachments to be visible across all projects within TestRail.

   

   Therefore the field "Accessible in" in the Attachment Detail window (see below) shows all Projects in the instance when the Attachment Sharing is enabled.

   

2. Previously it was possible to carry out an attachment deletion for an entity (e.g. Test Cases, Milestones, Runs, etc) using a single click or long-press from their respective view or edit page. From this version onwards deletion will be performed from the Edit page only.

FAQ’s

I’m still using TestRail 7.0.2 (or lower); should I update directly to TestRail 8.0.6?

- We strongly recommend updating to each major TestRail version before upgrading to TestRail 8.0.6, due to the various database changes introduced along the way. 

I’m upgrading from 7.0.2 (or lower) and need to migrate my attachments during the upgrade. At what point should I run the migration script and how?

- The migration script should be executed after the TestRail 8.0.1 upgrade has been carried out.
