Sir, I need a suggestion. I want to perform direct API automation testing (less manual more automation) with end-to-end coverage in production/live environments before the customer finds out, using Postman. What do you recommend?

[@RaghavPal]

Minar To achieve direct API automation testing with end-to-end coverage in production/live environments using Postman, I recommend organizing your tests with collections and utilizing environment variables wisely. This will enable you to create more effective API tests. Additionally, consider making API testing part of your CI/CD pipeline. This can be achieved by using Newman, Postman's command-line tool, or the Postman CLI to automate test executions within your pipeline . This approach ensures backwards compatibility by safeguarding the production environment from breaking changes

[@pavankumar-zr4ky]

Hi Sir, I have tried the below code and I am Getting this error : Couldn't evaluate the test script: Error: sandbox: execution interrupted, bridge disconnecting and tool is closing .Could you please have a look once

[@RaghavPal]

Pavan The error message "Couldn't evaluate the test script: Error: sandbox: execution interrupted, bridge disconnecting and tool is closing" in Postman indicates that the test script execution was abruptly terminated due to an interruption in the communication between the test script and Postman's execution environment. This can happen for various reasons, such as: *Postman Crash or Shutdown:* If Postman crashes or shuts down unexpectedly, the test script execution will be interrupted. *Extension Conflicts:* Sometimes, conflicting extensions or plugins in Postman can interfere with the test script execution and cause the bridge to disconnect. *System Issues:* Underlying system issues, such as resource limitations or memory leaks, can also lead to the termination of the test script execution. To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps: 1. *Restart Postman:* Close Postman completely and relaunch it. This can often resolve temporary glitches or issues that might be causing the interruption. 2. *Disable Extensions:* Temporarily disable all extensions or plugins in Postman to check if any of them are causing the conflict. Enable them one by one to identify the culprit. 3. *Update Postman:* Ensure you're using the latest stable version of Postman. Older versions may have bugs or compatibility issues that have been fixed in newer releases. 4. *Check System Resources:* Ensure your system has sufficient resources, such as CPU, RAM, and network bandwidth, to handle the load of the test script. 5. *Simplify Test Script:* If the test script is overly complex or resource-intensive, try simplifying it to identify any potential performance bottlenecks. 6. *Seek Community Support:* If the issue persists, consider seeking assistance from the Postman community forums or mailing lists. There may be specific configuration or compatibility issues that require additional guidance. Remember, troubleshooting test script execution issues often involves a process of elimination. Start with simple steps like restarting Postman and disabling extensions, and gradually move on to more complex troubleshooting if necessary.

[@shilpareddy2903]

Hi Raghav, Below is the sample json response here i need to get the id 5 value into environments . How to get this because there are multiple id's in the DataFileTypes . Please help me [ { "Id": 8, "Name": "XXX", "Active": true, "DataFileTypes": [ { "Id": 2, "Name": "X", "Append": true, "DataType": { "Id": 5, "Name": "Survey" } }, { "Id": 3, "Name": "XY", "Append": true, "DataType": { "Id": 1, "Name": "Media" } } ] has context menu

[@RaghavPal]

Shilpa To extract the id 5 value from the DataFileTypes array and store it in an environment variable called "targetId" using Postman, you can use the following JSONPath expression: ``` $.DataFileTypes[?(@.DataType.Id == 5)].Id ``` This expression will filter the DataFileTypes array to only include objects where the DataType.Id property is equal to 5. Then, it will extract the Id property from the first object in the filtered array. Here are the steps on how to use this expression in Postman: 1. In Postman, open the request that contains the JSON response you want to extract the value from. 2. In the Tests tab, add a new test script. 3. In the test script, paste the following code: ``` var targetId = pm.response.json().DataFileTypes.find(function(dataType) { return dataType.DataType.Id === 5; }).Id; pm.environment.set("targetId", targetId); ``` This code will first find the first object in the DataFileTypes array where the DataType.Id property is equal to 5. Then, it will extract the Id property from that object and store it in the environment variable called "targetId". 4. Save the test script. 5. Run the request. The targetId environment variable will now contain the value 5. You can use this environment variable in other requests or scripts.

Hi Sir , Your videos helping me a lot to learn new tools. Thank you so much. Can you please help me on the below case Scenario: Get-XXX/project/file/data/ProjectFileID/refresh I need to loop this request (with some delay time 5 sec) until the status is processed in the response json. Note 1: Status will be like first Processing and then Processed . If it is failed then it will be Error. Note2: Loop should end when Status is Processed or Error . Note 3 : Loop should continue when Status is in Processing .

[@RaghavPal]

Pavan Here's the Postman test script that will loop the Get request until the status is either "Processed" or "Error": ```javascript const delay = 5000; // 5 seconds delay between requests let status = "Processing"; while (status === "Processing") { // Send the Get request pm.sendRequest('Get-example/project/file/data/ProjectFileID/refresh', function (err, res) { if (err) { console.error('Error:', err); return; } // Extract the status from the response JSON status = res.json().status; // Check if status is Processed or Error if (status === "Processed" || status === "Error") { console.log('Status:', status); return; // Exit the loop } console.log('Status:', status); console.log('Waiting for 5 seconds...'); // Wait for 5 seconds before sending the next request setTimeout(function() {}, delay); }); } ``` This script will repeatedly send the Get request with a 5-second delay between each request. It will continue to loop until the response JSON contains a status of "Processed" or "Error".
