💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'delete' instead of 'create' will try to remove a server.

Using 'fetch' is for getting data, not creating.

The create method is used to create a new mock server in Postman.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'mockServerUrl' stores the URL, not the ID.

Using 'serverName' is not specific enough.

The environment variable mockServerId is commonly used to store the mock server's unique ID.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using '200' as a string causes errors.

Using 'OK' is a status text, not a code.

The status code should be a number 200, not a string or other type.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a mock server and assign its ID to an environment variable.

Postman

const mockServer = pm.mockServer.[1]({ url: 'https://api.test.com' });
pm.environment.set('[2]', mockServer.id);

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'delete' instead of 'create' will remove servers.

Storing the URL instead of the ID causes confusion.

Use create to make the mock server, and store its ID in mockServerId.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a mock response with status 201, a JSON body, and a header.

Postman

pm.mockServer.sendResponse({ status: [1], body: [2], headers: [3] });

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

A201

B{\"id\": 123, \"status\": \"created\"}

C[{ key: 'Content-Type', value: 'application/json' }]

D200

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using status 200 instead of 201 for creation.

Not formatting headers as an array of objects.

Status 201 means resource created, the body is a JSON string, and headers include content type.
