    VSTS - clicking View Tests link from test case invitation email returns "The test suite with id xxxx does not exist"

    Reported by Judy Chou Mar 20, 2017 at 10:42 PM vsts

    Steps to Reproduce:

    1) Create a test plan and assign the test plan to a person to run (select option to send email).

    2) Recipient of email is working on a test plan that is different from the one in #1.

    3) When recipient receives the email, he/she clicks the View Tests link.

    expected result: Display the test plan from #1 along with test cases that has been assigned.

    actual result: Displays the test plan in #2 and error "The test suite with id xxxx does not exist."

    User can get such an error in below two conditions:

    1. The suite was deleted before the user clicked the email link, which is unlikely in this case.

    2. The test plan is not in area path in the context of which the user is accessing Test hub. You can find which the area path that is being queried by clicking on the filter icon next to the test plan selection dropdown and set it to the right area path in which the target plan is present. Note that the test plan filter is set by default to the 'Team context' but it can be overridden by the user as well.

    Thanks
    Manoj

    The test suite has not been deleted.

    Also the test plan filter has only 1 criteria: Work Item Type in Group Microsoft.TestPlanCategory

    Could there be other reasons?

    The other reason could be permissions. User needs to have 'View test runs' permission at the team project level and 'View work items in this node' permission at the area path level in which the test plan and suite are present. TFS permissions are described here: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/setup-admin/permissions

    If the permissions are correct, please drop us a mail at devops_tools@microsoft.com and we will setup a session to debug the issue.

    Thanks
    Manoj

    We have found the root cause for this issue and filed a bug to fix it. ETA for the fix is the next scheduled VSTS deployment which will be 3-6 weeks from now.

    Manoj, I have attempted to send an email to devops_tools@microsoft.com twice and both times have received "Undeliverable" responses from postmaster@microsoft.com. Please advise what I should do to schedule the debugging session.
