Import from Git V2: Maintain Sync Link Imports

1. What Sync Link means

Sync Link creates a persistent relationship between:

• a Testany import history
• the selected Git files
• the resulting Test Cases

In this mode, scripts are fetched from Git at execution time.

This means the import history does not rely on a Testany-managed Mirror for execution.

2. Read the detail page

Open Import History and then open a record with the SYNC LINK badge.

The page usually contains:

• Basic Info
• Remote Code Status
• Pending Relation Changes
• Associated Files
• GitHub Webhook Sync
• Sync History
• Danger Zone

3. Sync Link in Track Latest mode

In Sync Link + Track Latest:

• execution always follows the current branch latest commit
• the detail page does not provide code-layer Sync
• new files and deleted source files must still be handled manually

The Remote Code Status area shows:

• Current latest commit
• Relation baseline commit
• Last change detected at

4. Sync Link in Pinned Commit mode

In Sync Link + Pinned Commit, the import history is locked to one commit.

The detail page lets you use:

• Switch Commit
• Switch to Track Latest

This mode does not support webhook sync or code-layer sync. To move forward, you must explicitly switch commit or leave pinned mode.

5. Handle relationship changes explicitly

In Pending Relation Changes, Sync Link separates relationship maintenance from code tracking.

5.1 Import Added Files

Use Import Added Files when the latest snapshot discovers new supported files that are under the import root but not yet part of this import history.

This action creates:

• new Test Cases
• new bindings in the same import history

5.2 Mark Source Deleted

Use Mark Source Deleted when a previously tracked file no longer exists in the Git source.

This action:

• marks the binding as source_deleted
• does not automatically delete the Test Case

If the file is still referenced by pipelines, review the impact before confirming.

6. Configure GitHub Webhook Sync

GitHub Webhook Sync is available when the import history is in Track Latest.

Its job in Sync Link mode is to:

• receive GitHub push events
• trigger sync checks when needed

It does not directly create new Test Cases or delete existing ones.

6.1 How to set it up

1. In Testany, click Configure Webhook.
2. Copy the generated Webhook URL.
3. Copy the generated Secret.
4. In GitHub, open the repository webhook settings.
5. Configure a push webhook with that URL and secret.
6. Return to Testany and verify deliveries.

6.2 Tracking scope

The webhook panel also allows a tracking scope with include/exclude rules. Use it when you only want part of the repository to trigger sync checks.

6.3 Pinned mode limitation

If the import history is pinned to a commit, webhook sync is unavailable until you switch back to Track Latest.

7. Review Sync History

Use Sync History to review the past sync checks and outcomes for this record.

This helps answer questions like:

• when Testany last detected upstream code changes
• whether a sync check failed
• whether the current relationship snapshot is stale

8. Delete a Sync Link import history

In Danger Zone, Delete Import History removes the import history and deletes all associated Test Cases.
