💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using pm.globals.get instead of pm.environment.get

Using pm.expect().to.be instead of pm.expect().to.equal

Not quoting the string 'active'

The environment variable 'status' is accessed with pm.environment.get(). The test uses pm.expect().to.equal() to check the value against the string 'active'.
