Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When I make a request and the returned status code is 4.x.x or 5.x.x, the tests are not executed

Steps to reproduce

Make a request to https://swapi.dev/api/peoples
Go to the Tests tab and paste de following code:

pw.test("Not Found", () => {
    pw.expect(pw.response.status).toBe(404)
});

Send the request
The returned status code is 404 but the tests are not executed

Environment

Production

Version

Hi @dsolay,

I have pushed a patch, should be live in 5-10 minutes, please open Hoppscotch and perform an Update Reload and this issue should be fixed.

But we have noticed a small behavior inconsistency between the different strategies, in which without the extension or the proxy server, Hoppscotch doesn't try to process non-200 responses. We are tracking the issue internally and since we were planning to do a refactor of the entire Strategy system to align with our recent code standards. So until then Extensions and Proxy will only support 404 response data.
