💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Checking for 200 instead of 204.

Using a client or server error code.

Status code 204 means the DELETE request was successful and no content is returned.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using contain or include which check partial matches.

Using have which is not a valid Chai assertion method here.

Use equal to check that the response text is exactly an empty string.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set a DELETE request header and verify it in the test script.

Postman

pm.request.headers.add({ key: '[1]', value: 'application/json' });
 pm.test('Header is set', () => { pm.expect(pm.request.headers.get('[2]')).to.equal('application/json'); });

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using different header names in add and get.

Using headers unrelated to content type.

The Content-Type header specifies the media type of the request body. Both adding and checking must use the same header name.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to create a test that verifies the DELETE request URL and method.

Postman

pm.test('Request URL and method are correct', () => {
  pm.expect(pm.request.url.toString()).to.equal('[1]');
  pm.expect(pm.request.method).to.equal('[2]');
  pm.expect(pm.request.url.path[[3]]).to.equal('123');
});

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

Ahttps://api.example.com/items/123

BDELETE

C1

DGET

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using GET instead of DELETE for method.

Incorrect URL or path index.

The test checks that the full URL matches the expected string, the method is DELETE, and the last segment of the URL path (index 1) is '123'.
