I'm using the tests of Postman to log into the console some of the details included in a JSON response.
The part of the test that logs is the following:
var data = JSON.parse(responseBody);
if (data.result[0] !== undefined) {
console.log(data.result[0].number, "|", data.result[0].category;
}
else console.log(QUERYSTRING_PARAMETER, "is not present");
I've tried many sintaxes/formats to have the value of the QUERYSTRING_PARAMETER passed to the test. However when data.result is empty with every sintax I've tried, the test simply logs QUERYSTRING_PARAMETER not defined. How can I pass the value from the query string parameters in the URL to the test to be evaluated/logged?
Thanks in advance
I'm not sure if it corresponds to what you need, but if you want data from your query, you may use the 'request' object (refer to the Postman sandbox, paragraph 'Request/response related properties').
You can get request method, url, headers and (maybe the one for you) data.

All welcome, I ran into a problem in which at the time of passing id and body in the method it is received, it gives 500 errors. In swagger I have an infected method, it looks like this:
swagger
Accordingly, in the body of the request, I pass all the parameters of the fields it needs (I drive them in strictly, just to check for operability):
code
In response I get this:
response
If you try to do the same in the swagger, then the method works and a 200 response comes:
swagger 200 response
What am I doing wrong?
I tried to make the code asynchronous, I tried to pass fields in different ways, but nothing happens, the answer comes 500
Try to put the id field inside the obj.
const form = {
id: 790,
...
}
You are passing too much params inside the callback (id, form).
I have a postman test script to use with test runner. I am trying to pass dynamic value from file to validate response with no success. I am able to pass value to request, but not able to use value from data file in test script. I want to validate response with data passed from CSV file. Is something like below possible in first place?
pm.test("Body matches string", function () {
pm.expect(pm.response.text()).to.include('{{$column1}}');
});
Found that variable usage in test script is different. Below works.
pm.test("Body matches string", function () {
pm.expect(pm.response.text()).to.include(pm.variables.get("column1"));
});
I am building an API about email auth code.
Its process is simple.
input random code (client browser)
request with input code. (client browser)
receive the request (server)
scan the code from DB (server)
there is no code matched (server)
return a response with status code.
There are many status code, (2xx, 4xx, 5xx);
but I don't know which status code number is the most proper for this case.
It depends on the semantics you want to give your request. E.g.:
The API should search for items matching the query and return a list of results, like GET /codes?q=4ba69g. Think a "search page". In this case, an empty result [] is a perfectly valid result; nothing was wrong with the query, it just didn't return any matches. That's a 200 OK, or maybe a 204 No Content if you want to omit the empty response body entirely.
The code is treated like a resource, e.g. GET /codes/4ba69g. In this case a missing code would result in a 404 Not Found.
It's an action you want to perform which may fail, e.g. POST /login. If the user supplied the wrong credentials/code and hence the action cannot complete, that's a client-side error and therefore a 400 Bad Request.
https://developers.google.com/sheets/api/reference/rest/v4/spreadsheets.values/batchUpdateByDataFilter
We have used above function in our code, while we are passing the more than 50 or 100 records within the array records then given 400 bad request array in response.
Can anyone describe the limit of the total values that we are going to pass within the above function?
Here is my code:
$batchupdate = array("valueInputOption" => "RAW", "data" => $dataarray);
try {
$requestBody = new Google_Service_Sheets_BatchUpdateValuesByDataFilterRequest($batchupdate);
$response = $service->spreadsheets_values->BatchUpdateByDataFilter($spreadsheetId, $requestBody);
}
catch(Exception $e) {
echo 'Message: ' . $e->getMessage();
}
Troubleshooting:
Problems with the Request
Until you attach a sanitized version of your Request body we cannot be sure about the root-cause of the problem you are facing.
However, an error 400 means that the request you did is invalid. So, most likely, the problem is in that.
Check if your request object is formatted as detailed on the documentation.
Problems with the Client
If you are able to use the Try this API sidebar with the same Request Body then it could be related to the PHP client.
Note: This is language independent. Create a JSON Object that has the same structure as your request body.
If that's the case, we will need to see more of your code to verify that you are not using your valid Request body in an invalid way (eg. sending it encapsulated in another object).
By referencing the PHP Library documentation you can see the properties of the objects you can use.
I'm currently trying to implement few Postman requests with CSV data sources.
For instance let assume I have request named "Open as user".
In csv file, I have bunch of user credentials with description field that describes user role.
I would like to have the ability to change request names to reflect each user roles.
For instance, if the request is made as the admin user I would like request name in reports and runner to be "Open as user admin".
In documentation, I've found pm.info.requestName variable but seems it is read-only.
I put following in Pre-request Script
pm.info.requestName = "1";
console.log(pm.info.requestName);
but got "Open as user" value instead of assigned "1".
Have anyone tried to do the same trick or know whether it is possible at all?
I was looking for a solution to this as well and i have solved it in the following way:
Use the 'Pre-request Script' to determine what role the user has.
Set the url to a environment- or global-variable
Use that url in the request, like {{url}}
Clear the environment- or global-variable in the 'Tests' tab
In my case i used the environment variable to get the environment, instead of you, using the data variables.
var environment = pm.environment.get("environment");
var url;
switch(environment) {
case "test":
url = pm.globals.get("test-url");
break;
case "acc":
url = pm.globals.get("acc-url");
break;
case "prod":
url = pm.globals.get("prod-url");
break;
default:
url = pm.globals.get("test-url");
break;
}
pm.environment.set("url", url);
Hope this helps!
I'm afraid that you can't do that. pm.request object is available only after request execution. I even think that you can't access the request name the way you want (I though I would find it in the 'id' member, but it was empty)
Have a look here to see what's available in terms of members and methods concerning the request object.
You may find another way of proceeding (maybe duplicate your test, rename it with admin and, under proper condition, launch the admin request instead of the common user request ? it's kind of a hassle just for a test name)
I think about something else: you could just customize your assertions label, that's what I do to have 'readable' test names in TFS reports. In the Tests tab :
test_name = "[ "+ request.name + " ] - ";
and for each assertion (example):
tests[test_name + "Status code is 200"] = responseCode.code === 200;
This gives, in the response Tests tab, something like :
PASS [Get all configuration]-Status code is 200
Under a particular condition, you can replace request.name with a custom string or do request.name + "admin" ...
hope this helps
