There was an error in evaluating the test script: TypeError: Cannot read property ‘item’ of undefined

Updated the environment properties with collection_uid, postman_api_key

It looks like the request returned a 404 response, given that information, the script wouldn’t complete as it’s looking for something in the response body.

I would check that the URL, path, ids etc are correctly resolved. You can see the full request that was sent by opening the Console.

I agree with Danny - I can replicate this problem if my collection_uid variable is set incorrectly (e.g. if it’s accidentally retaining the collection ID from your Day 1 solution). You mentioned that you’d set this as an environment variable - you won’t want to do this, because every day’s solution requires a different collection_uid value.

I tried everything. I removed the environment variables.
I added directly to the request.
Collection ID is new one. Generated today. Still an error.

Is that the request ID in the URL or the Collection ID - I can’t see the full URL but it looks nearly the same as the one in the right side request context menu. :thinking:

Ensure it’s the Collection ID in the path and than there are no additional characters on the end of the value, sometimes that happens.

You’re adding the request ID and not the Collection ID.

This has confirmed what Danny suggested :slight_smile: The ID that you have directly added to the request is the Request ID, not the Collection ID. (You will see that in the right-hand panel, the panel is titled “Request details”)

You can find the collection ID by clicking on the “Day 02: Collections and environments” label in the left panel, and then if you click the highlighted “Info” link it will reveal the Collection ID value.

can anyone help me out with this . Day 2 challenge
New request added | TypeError: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined
how to resolve it correctly.

Hey!

Could you double check that you have the latest changes from the parent collection forked?
There should be two requests in the “Collections and environments” folder, POST raw text and GET with query params

16

Your answer good for me. Thanks you

@jusmur87 Have you checked if your api key is correctly set, or tried generating a new one? Looks like it may have expired.

19

Yes ;( I already generated Api key few times and set up and save with new key. Still same issue.

20

@jusmur87 I just noticed you’re not using the correct name for the header, it should be X-Api-Key and not postman-api-key.
