easy

Complete the code to create a mock server in Postman.

Postman

pm.mockServer.create([1]: 'My Mock Server'});

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'url' instead of 'name' causes an error.

Confusing 'method' with server creation property.

The name property is required to create a mock server in Postman.

Complete the code to define a mock response for a GET request.

Postman

pm.mockServer.addMockResponse({ method: 'GET', [1]: '/users', response: { status: 200, body: '{}' } });

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

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'url' instead of 'path' causes the mock to not match requests.

Confusing 'endpoint' with the property name.

The path property defines the endpoint path for the mock response.

3fill in blank

hard

Fix the error in the mock response code to enable parallel development.

Postman

pm.mockServer.addMockResponse({ method: 'POST', path: '/login', response: { status: 200, body: [1] } });

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

Atoken: 'abc123'

B{token: 'abc123'}

C'token: abc123'

D'{"token": "abc123"}'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Passing an object instead of a JSON string causes runtime errors.

Missing quotes around the JSON string.

The body must be a JSON string, so it needs to be properly quoted and escaped.

4fill in blank

hard

Fill both blanks to create a mock server and add a mock response for GET /products.

Postman

const mockServer = pm.mockServer.[1]([2]: 'Product Mock Server'});
mockServer.addMockResponse({ method: 'GET', path: '/products', response: { status: 200, body: '{}' } });

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

Cstart

Durl

Attempts:

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'start' instead of 'create' causes errors.

Using 'url' instead of 'name' for server creation.

Use create to make the mock server and set its name.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to define a mock response with status 404 and a JSON error message.

Postman

mockServer.addMockResponse({ method: [1], path: [2], response: { status: [3], body: '{"error": "Not Found"}' } });

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

A'GET'

B'/unknown'

C404

D'POST'

Attempts:

3 left

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using wrong method string causes mock mismatch.

Incorrect status code changes the test meaning.

The mock response uses method 'GET', path '/unknown', and status 404 to simulate a not found error.
