Conditional request execution (setNextRequest) in Postman - Interactive Code Practice

Practice - 5 Tasks

1fill in blank

easy

Complete the code to set the next request to 'Login' if the status code is 401.

Postman

if (pm.response.code === [1]) {
    postman.setNextRequest('Login');
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 200 instead of 401 will not trigger the login request.

Using 404 or 500 are incorrect status codes for this condition.

The status code 401 means unauthorized, so we set the next request to 'Login' to authenticate.

2fill in blank

medium

Complete the code to skip the next request by setting it to null when the response has status 204.

Postman

if (pm.response.code === [1]) {
    postman.setNextRequest(null);
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 400 or 500 will not correctly skip the next request.

Using 302 is a redirect status, not related to skipping requests.

Status code 204 means No Content, so we skip the next request by setting it to null.

Fix the error in the code to correctly set the next request to 'GetUser' if the response JSON has 'userId' equal to 123.

Postman

let jsonData = pm.response.json();
if (jsonData.userId [1] 123) {
    postman.setNextRequest('GetUser');
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '=' causes assignment instead of comparison.

Using '==' allows type coercion which can cause unexpected results.

Use '===' for strict equality comparison in JavaScript to avoid type coercion errors.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to set the next request to 'Retry' if the response status is 500 and the retry count is less than 3.

Postman

let retryCount = pm.variables.get('[1]') || 0;
if (pm.response.code === 500 && retryCount [2] 3) {
    postman.setNextRequest('Retry');
}

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '>' instead of '<' reverses the logic.

Using 'errorCount' instead of 'retryCount' will cause undefined variable errors.

We get the retry count from variables and check if it is less than 3 to decide retrying.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set the next request to 'Success' if the response code is 200 and the JSON field 'status' equals 'ok', otherwise set it to 'Failure'.

Postman

let data = pm.response.json();
if (pm.response.code === [1] && data.status [2] [3]) {
    postman.setNextRequest('Success');
} else {
    postman.setNextRequest('Failure');
}

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 201 instead of 200 will fail the condition.

Using '==' instead of '===' may cause unexpected type coercion.

Not quoting 'ok' will cause a reference error.

Check if status code is 200 and status field strictly equals 'ok' to proceed to 'Success'.
