Testcase Query Examples
Other ways to query for test cases than the query(s) on Test cases 8.2.0
Basics
The basic query is
{{#ask: [[Category:Test cases]] [[Build stream::joyride|Any]] | additional options }}
One option you should always add is |default=Query for xyz found nothing?!, otherwise you'll have no indication a page has a query that isn't working.
See Inline query output formats.
Query counting each test case
There are {{#ask: Build stream::joyride
| format=count | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of Joyride?
}} <== automatically generated! test cases in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of Joyride.
Query displaying each test case
If the pages you are including are small, you can embed them with format=embedded. This is like transcluding each page with {{:Title of page}} {{:Another page}} ..., but dynamic.
{{#ask: Build stream::joyride
| format=embedded | embedformat=h4 | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of Joyride?
}}
Bug: query for a disallowed value sometimes still works
Bug: if I query for a bogus value, it counts all of them. A query for Build stream==BADVALUE returns a count of {{#ask: Build stream::BOGUS VALUE
| format=count | default=No articles found in Category:Test cases with Property:Build stream of BOGUS VALUE?
}}
