In this post, we will discuss how to find child folders under test plan folder in ALM Using OTA API. We will use C# for this post.

For finding child folders under a test plan folder we will use the following objects

1. TreeManager : for finding the parent folder
2. SysTreeNode : For finding the child folders

First, we will find the SysTreeNode Object for parent folder path

TDAPIOLELib.TreeManager OTManager = tDConnection.TreeManager;
TDAPIOLELib.SysTreeNode OSysTreeNode = OTManager.NodeByPath[folderPath];

Where tDConnection is the ALM Connection object. You can read about it here.

Once we have the SysTreeNode object then we can loop it to get the child folder names

for (int Counter = 1; Counter <= OSysTreeNode.Count; Counter++)
{
Console.WriteLine(OSysTreeNode.Child[Counter].Name);
}

Below is the complete code

public List<String> GetChildFolderNames(String folderPath)
{
List<String> OFNames = new List<string>();
TDAPIOLELib.SysTreeNode OSysTreeNode = GetNodeObject(folderPath);
for (int Counter = 1; Counter <= OSysTreeNode.Count; Counter++)
{
OFNames.Add(OSysTreeNode.Child[Counter].Name);
}
return OFNames;
}

public TDAPIOLELib.SysTreeNode GetNodeObject(String folderPath)
{
TDAPIOLELib.TreeManager OTManager = tDConnection.TreeManager;
return OTManager.NodeByPath[folderPath];
}

To find the child folders inside “Subject\Dummy1”. We can call the function like this

List<String> list = GetChildFolderNames("Subject\\Dummy1");

foreach (String folderName in list)
{
Console.WriteLine("Folder Found under Subject\\Dummy1 : " + folderName);
}
