Following is my code to add new defect to rally using python:

import sys import time from pyral import Rally, rallyWorkset

server = "rally1.rallydev.com" 

user = "*****" 

password = "****" 

apikey = "****" 

workspace = "****" 

project = "****"

rally = Rally(server, user=user, password=password,apikey=apikey, workspace=workspace, project=project)



project_req = rally.get('Project', fetch=True, query='Name = "%s"' % (project))

project = project_req.next()



priority = "3.Normal" 

severity = "Major Problem" 

name = "prabhakar.sharma@***.com"

#defectID = 'INC0547865'

description = "A Test Rally User Story created using python API now, start working on it as fast as you all could !!" 

user = rally.getUserInfo(username=name).pop(0)

#rally.setProject(proj) 

print("%s %s "% (project.oid , user.ref)) 

defect_data = { "Project" : project.ref,

                "SubmittedBy" : user.ref,

                "Name" : name,

                "Severity" : severity, 

                "Priority" : priority,

               "State" : "Open", 

                "ScheduleState" : "Defined",

                "Owner": user.ref,

                "Description" : description 

                }





defect = rally.create('Defect', defect_data) print("Defect created, ObjectID: %s  FormattedID: %s" % (defect.oid, defect.FormattedID))

Traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "pythonrally.py", line 186,
in
defect = rally.create('Defect', defect_data) File "C:UsersPRABHAKAR.SHARMAAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37pyralrestapi.py",
line 1024, in put
raise RallyRESTAPIError(problem) pyral.restapi.RallyRESTAPIError: 422 Validation error: Defect.PRJ# should not be null

Changes:

1. Must use "username=name" (where 'name' is a login ID) instead of "username=user".


2. The field "When" is not part of a Defect (commented out below).


3. The field "PRJ#" is not part of a Defect (commented out below).


4. 
   

   The project ref must be specified as "proj.ref" instead of "project.ref".

   
   
   

   $ diff code.orig code.new
   
   10c10
   
   < user = rally.getUserInfo(username=user).pop(0)
   
   ---
   
   > user = rally.getUserInfo(username=name).pop(0)
   
   12,14c12,14
   
   < defect_data = { "When" : when,
   
   <                 "PRJ#" : project.oid,
   
   <                 "Project" : project.ref,
   
   ---
   
   > defect_data = { #"When" : when,
   
   >                 #"PRJ#" : proj.oid,
   
   >                 "Project" : proj.ref,
   
   

   
   

The above changes worked for me.

So, I changed below line :

defect = rally.create('Defect', defect_data) print("Defect created, ObjectID: %s  FormattedID: %s" % (defect.oid, defect.FormattedID))

to

defect = rally.create('UserStory', defect_data) print("Defect created, ObjectID: %s  FormattedID: %s" % (defect.oid, defect.FormattedID))

and following what errors were telling me I got it working.
Also, I removed few fields from 'defect_data' as following:

defect_data = { "Project" : project.ref,

                #"SubmittedBy" : user.ref,

                "Name" : name,

                #"Severity" : severity, 

                "Priority" : priority,

                #"State" : "Open", 

                "ScheduleState" : "Defined",

                "Owner": user.ref,

                "Description" : description 

                }

Final Code:

project_req = rally.get('Project', fetch=True, query='Name = "%s"' % (project))

project = project_req.next()

priority = "Normal"

severity = "Major Problem"

name = "prabhakar.sharma@dish.com"

#when = "2018.12.26 - 2019.01.01"

#defectNum = 'INC0547865'

description = "Just one more test Rally User Story created using python API now, start working on it as fast as you all could !!"

user = rally.getUserInfo(username=user).pop(0)

#rally.setProject(proj)

print("%s %s "% (project.ref , user.ref))

defect_data = { "Project" : project.ref,

                #"SubmittedBy" : user.ref,

                "Name" : name,

                #"Severity" : severity, 

                "Priority" : priority,

                #"State" : "Open", 

                "ScheduleState" : "Defined",

                "Owner": user.ref,

                "Description" : description 

                }

try:

    print("am here %s "% defect_data)

    defect = rally.create('UserStory', defect_data)

except Exception as e:

    sys.stderr.write('ERROR: %s n' % Exception)

    print(e)

    sys.exit(1)

Hope this serves someone facing any problem like this one !! Cheers
