#     }
# }

# Create a test execution with specific tests
test_execution = client.create_test_execution(
    test_issue_keys=["TEST-124", "TEST-125"],
    project_key="PROJ",
    summary="Regression Test Execution",
    description="Testing critical features"
)

Test Run Operations

# Get test run status
status, run_id = client.get_test_runstatus("TEST-124", "TEST-456")

# Update test run status
success = client.update_test_run_status("test_run_id", "PASS")
print(success)  # True

# Update test run comment
success = client.update_test_run_comment("test_run_id", "Test passed successfully")
print(success)  # True

# Append to existing comment
success = client.append_test_run_comment("test_run_id", "Additional notes")
print(success)  # True

Evidence and Defect Management

# Add evidence to a test run
evidence_added = client.add_evidence_to_test_run("test_run_id", "/path/to/screenshot.png")
print(evidence_added)  # True

Step 5: Generate Documentation

# Generate HTML documentation
poetry run pdoc --html --output-dir docs/html xrayclient

# Or with more options
poetry run pdoc --html --output-dir docs/html --template-dir docs/templates xrayclient

Step 6: Create a Documentation Script

Create scripts/generate_docs.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
Script to generate documentation using pdoc.
"""

import subprocess
import sys
import os
from pathlib import Path

def generate_docs():
    """Generate HTML documentation using pdoc."""
    
    # Get project root
    project_root = Path(__file__).parent.parent
    
    # Create docs directory if it doesn't exist
    docs_dir = project_root / "docs" / "html"
    docs_dir.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    
    # Run pdoc
    cmd = [
        sys.executable, "-m", "pdoc",
        "--html",
        "--output-dir", str(docs_dir),
        "--template-dir", str(project_root / "docs" / "templates"),
        "xrayclient"
    ]
    
    print("Generating documentation...")
    result = subprocess.run(cmd, cwd=project_root)
    
    if result.returncode == 0:
        print(f"Documentation generated successfully in {docs_dir}")
        print(f"Open {docs_dir / 'xrayclient.html'} in your browser to view the docs")
    else:
        print("Failed to generate documentation")
        sys.exit(1)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    generate_docs()

Step 7: Add Documentation to PyPI Package

Update your pyproject.toml to include documentation files:

[project]
name = "xrayclient"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Python Client for Xray Test Management for Jira"
authors = [
    {name = "yakub@arusatech.com"}
]
license = {text = "MIT"}
readme = "README.md"
requires-python = ">=3.12"
dependencies = [
    "jira (>=3.10.5,<4.0.0)",
    "jsonpath-nz (>=1.0.6,<2.0.0)",
    "requests (>=2.31.0,<3.0.0)"
]

[tool.poetry]
name = "xrayclient"
version = "0.1.0"
description = "Python Client for Xray Test Management for Jira"
authors = ["yakub@arusatech.com"]
license = "MIT"
readme = "README.md"
homepage = "https://github.com/arusatech/xrayclient"
repository = "https://github.com/arusatech/xrayclient"
documentation = "https://arusatech.github.io/xrayclient/"
keywords = ["xray", "jira", "test-management", "graphql", "api-client"]
classifiers = [
    "Development Status :: 4 - Beta",
    "Intended Audience :: Developers",
    "License :: OSI Approved :: MIT License",
    "Operating System :: OS Independent",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.12",
    "Programming Language :: Python :: 3.13",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Testing",
    "Topic :: Software Development :: Libraries :: Python Modules",
]
packages = [{include = "xrayclient"}]
include = [
    "docs/html/**/*",
    "README.md",
    "LICENSE"
]

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.12"
jira = "^3.10.5"
jsonpath-nz = "^1.0.6"
requests = "^2.31.0"

[tool.poetry.group.dev.dependencies]
pytest = "^8.4.1"
pytest-cov = "^4.1.0"
pytest-mock = "^3.11.1"
pdoc = "^14.4.0"

[build-system]
requires = ["poetry-core>=2.0.0,<3.0.0"]
build-backend = "poetry.core.masonry.api"

[tool.pytest.ini_options]
testpaths = ["tests"]
python_files = ["test_*.py"]
python_classes = ["Test*"]
python_functions = ["test_*"]
addopts = [
    "--verbose",
    "--tb=short",
    "--strict-markers",
    "--disable-warnings",
    "--cov=xrayclient",
    "--cov-report=term-missing",
    "--cov-report=html:htmlcov",
    "--cov-report=xml:coverage.xml"
]
markers = [
    "unit: Unit tests",
    "integration: Integration tests",
    "slow: Slow running tests"
]

[tool.pdoc]
docformat = "google"
template_directory = "docs/templates"
output_directory = "docs/html"

Step 8: Create a MANIFEST.in file

Create MANIFEST.in to ensure documentation is included:

include README.md
include LICENSE
include CHANGELOG.md
recursive-include docs/html *
recursive-include docs/templates *

Step 9: Update .gitignore

# Add these lines to your existing .gitignore
dist/
build/
*.egg-info/
.pytest_cache/
htmlcov/
coverage.xml

# Don't ignore docs/html (we want to include it in the package)
!docs/html/

Step 10: Create a Documentation Generation Workflow

Create .github/workflows/docs.yml:

name: Generate Documentation

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  docs:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    
    - name: Set up Python
      uses: actions/setup-python@v4
      with:
        python-version: '3.12'
    
    - name: Install Poetry
      run: |
        curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
        echo "$HOME/.local/bin" >> $GITHUB_PATH
    
    - name: Install dependencies
      run: poetry install
    
    - name: Generate documentation
      run: poetry run python scripts/generate_docs.py
    
    - name: Upload documentation artifacts
      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
      with:
        name: documentation
        path: docs/html/

Step 11: Update README.md with Documentation Links

<code_block_to_apply_changes_from>

Step 12: Build and Publish with Documentation

# Generate documentation first
poetry run python scripts/generate_docs.py

# Build package (includes documentation)
poetry build

# Publish to PyPI
poetry publish

Step 13: Alternative: Host Documentation on GitHub Pages

Create .github/workflows/docs-pages.yml:

name: Deploy Documentation to GitHub Pages

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pages: write
      id-token: write
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v4
    
    - name: Set up Python
      uses: actions/setup-python@v4
      with:
        python-version: '3.12'
    
    - name: Install Poetry
      run: |
        curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
        echo "$HOME/.local/bin" >> $GITHUB_PATH
    
    - name: Install dependencies
      run: poetry install
    
    - name: Generate documentation
      run: poetry run python scripts/generate_docs.py
    
    - name: Setup Pages
      uses: actions/configure-pages@v3
    
    - name: Upload artifact
      uses: actions/upload-pages-artifact@v2
      with:
        path: docs/html/
    
    - name: Deploy to GitHub Pages
      id: deployment
      uses: actions/deploy-pages@v2

Step 14: Update pyproject.toml with GitHub Pages URL

[tool.poetry]
# ... existing configuration ...
documentation = "https://arusatech.github.io/xrayclient/"
# ... rest of configuration ...

Complete Documentation Workflow

  1. Generate docs: poetry run python scripts/generate_docs.py
  2. Build package: poetry build (includes docs)
  3. Publish: poetry publish
  4. Deploy to GitHub Pages: Automatic via GitHub Actions

Benefits of This Approach

  1. Documentation included in PyPI package - Users get docs with the package
  2. Automated generation - Docs are always up-to-date
  3. GitHub Pages hosting - Public documentation website
  4. Custom styling - Professional-looking documentation
  5. Version control - Docs are tracked with code

This setup provides comprehensive documentation that's both included in your PyPI package and hosted online for easy access.
