Question

From the below sample code i am able to test the working to list all Tasks in a project.

I want to add New tasks Automatically under a User Story US1234.

I have some 50 User Story in excel to Enter with Task fields (Name ,description, estimate ,To do ,etc… ) ,I want to automate this work.

How to create a task under a user story with the Task fields using REST api in ruby.

There was not much of help with this link http://developer.rallydev.com/help/ruby-toolkit-rally-rest-api

require 'rubygems'
require 'rally_rest_api'

rally= RallyRestAPI.new(:base_url =>"https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm",  :username => "[e-mail]",  :password => "xyz123")
projects  = rally.find(:project) { equal:name, "XYZ Engineering - Scrum Team 2"}

projects.each do |project| 
 #  puts project.name   

   tasks = rally.find(:task, :project => project, :fetch => true) {equal :State, "Defined"}


   tasks.each do |task| 
       puts task.name
   end


end

You should be able to find most of the answers to your questions here: http://rally-rest-api.rubyforge.org/crud.html.

Here is a basic example, which iterates through each Task on a User Story:

require 'rubygems'
require 'rally_rest_api'

rally= RallyRestAPI.new(:base_url => url,  :username => user,  :password => pw)
project  = (rally.find(:project) { equal :name, name}).first()

rally.find(:hierarchical_requirement, :project => project) {equal :some_field, some_value}.each{ |hr|
    hr.tasks.each{ |task|
        task.update(:some_field1 => some_value1)
        task.update(:some_field2 => some_value2)
        task.update(:some_field3 => some_value3)
        task.update(:some_field4 => some_value4)
    }
}

I don’t know how you intend on updating each individually, so you’ll have to modify it with your own logic.
