Bug Description

When executing the pm.sendRequest from the Pre-request Script it will resulting as TypeError as failure.
If the code is executed in Post-request script it is working fine.
I beleive that pm.sendRequest should be supported for "Pre-request Script" as well, if not I am requesting this :)

Deployment Type

Version

v2025.12.1

Hi, the ability to send requests from the scripting context is supported in both pre-request and post-request scripts. However, the sample snippet encountered issues because the pm.expect() function is not recognised in pre-request scripts. Ideally, this would be flagged via IntelliSense.

We are aware of cases where type definitions can overlap between scripting editors, causing certain functions to appear valid when they are not. This is being tracked separately and would cease to exist once the unified scripting experience is in place.
