💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.request.body.json which is undefined in this context.

Checking pm.request.body without accessing raw content.

Using pm.request.body.text which is not a valid property.

The pm.request.body.raw contains the raw body content as a string. Checking it ensures the body is not empty before sending.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Checking for 'id' or 'email' instead of 'name'.

Not parsing the JSON body before accessing fields.

Using incorrect property names.

The 'name' field is required in the JSON body. Checking body.name ensures it exists before sending.

hard

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using length() which causes a runtime error.

Using size or count which are not valid string properties.

The length property gives the number of characters in the string. Using length() causes an error because it's not a function.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to parse the JSON body and check if the 'age' field is greater than 18 before sending.

Postman

const data = JSON.parse(pm.request.body.[1]);
if (data.[2] > 18) {
  pm.sendRequest(request, callback);
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.request.body.text which is not a valid property.

Checking a wrong field like 'value' instead of 'age'.

Use pm.request.body.raw to get the raw JSON string, then check data.age to validate the age field.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a validation that sends the request only if the body has a 'status' field equal to 'active'.

Postman

const body = JSON.parse(pm.request.body.[1]);
if (body.[2] === [3]) {
  pm.sendRequest(request, callback);
}

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.request.body.text which is invalid.

Comparing to 'active' without quotes causing syntax errors.

Checking wrong field names.

Parse the raw body string, then check if body.status equals the string "active" before sending.
