Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Summary

When you run an extensive test suite and a request fails (let's say request number 7 out of 9), it is hard to know what exactly happened, especially when making use of variables that were set by prior request.

As such, I suggest to add a tab called Request JSON or something similar to the bottom pane when you open a specific request of the test suite.

Related: #5627 , though this one is from a different view (the test view instead of single request view)

Why should this be worked on?

Right now it is really hard to know what exactly was sent over the wire during testing.

@JohannesBe
Hi! I’d like to work on this feature.

My approach:

Add a new Request JSON tab in the test-suite request details panel.
Pass the final resolved request body (after variables/env/scripts) to this tab.
Use the existing JSON viewer component to display it.
Keep the change scoped only to the test-suite request view.

If this looks good, please assign it to me.Then I'll start working on this issue.

Unfortunately, I cannot assign people, so we'll have to wait for a repo maintainer to do that :)
