Originally assigned to: @nickpalenchar on GitHub.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I really love postwoman, and I'm using it to test my rest api. Problem: I currently can't make a serie of tests. I'm searching a way to automate requests and check if everything is fine or not, like if x request returns me correctly y response.

Of course maybe it's already implemented, and in this case I didn't find the way to do that, sorry about that.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add a new tab named "tests" where we could add a requests we saved in our collections, and a "predictable" reponse. Postwoman could test requests automatically using 1 single button.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Using the documentation tab, and implement it directly inside this one.

Will surely look into the possibilities of implementing them.

like if x request returns me correctly y response.

Do you really want to mention the exact predicted response or is it okay with the response code/state like 200 or 403 (success or forbidden)..?

I think status could be enough

I use the "tests" feature of Postman to store variables into the collection, then refer to them in later API requests. This is very useful for things like unique tokens, generated access keys, etc. that are used from one request to the next. Without this feature in Postwoman, I have to manually copy values out of the response from earlier requests and paste it into the next.

Really all that's needed is basically a "post-request hook" to execute arbitrary JS with access to the innards of the engine enough to set variables that will be referenced in a future request. I don't actually need the "unit testing" (assertions, etc.) support of Postman.

This sounds doable, and can we can definitely leverage some work in pre-request hooks from #218 to extend into this.

@liyasthomas hi still working but it's been smooth development! Probably can get it merged this weekend.

I only have some weekend time to work on open source these days so progress will look more sporadic than usual for now. But you can check out work for this on feature/post-request-tests, branch, which I'll keep updating.

@nickpalenchar Just a friendly reminder: In the past few days, base branch has been updated with lot of core features. I advise you to keep the https://github.com/liyasthomas/postwoman/tree/feature/post-request-tests branch updated with the master branch.

And we could merge tests feature when the MVP is ready and iterate over it in the upcoming weeks.

Ooh thanks for the update. I'll be back on this tomorrow but that’s a good point for my future week hiatuses. Looking to push it out tomorrow either way
