In the context of http://blog.getpostman.com/2017/10/03/send-asynchronous-requests-with-postmans-pm-api/ , I’d like to send 2 requests SYNCHRONOUSLY (and NOT Asynchronously) from a pre-request script. One of the requests resets my auth token and the other fetches some data needed for the main reques…

I think this post could resolve this issue: Async Operations!

I have been using separate requests organised in collections and folders but I quickly reached in excess of 1800 requests for a single API so I’ve been trying to find ways to reduce that number. Including some requests in the pre-request scripts, especially authentication related ones, helps making…

Is there any documentation how Postman Canary would support this as of today?

We’ve added support for collection and folder level scripts and auth in our stable channel. Please update to the latest version and try it out. You can find the option to add scripts and auth in the Edit Folder/Collection option.

Thank you! So would this enable the option to send requests synchronously with pm.sendRequest()?

Nope. pm.sendRequests are asynchronous always. However, you will have the option to group common scripts in folder/collection scripts in the latest version.

you can with javascript promise - await mechanism. even iterations is possible. //------------------sandos--------------------------- function SendRequest(maxRequest) { return new Promise(resolve => { pm.sendRequest({ … }, function(err, res) { var response = JSON.stringify(res); console.log("…

Yes it is possible! For instance, I use this for retrieve a JS archive from a CDN, then make it available before the collection gets executed. So paste some similar snippet into your Pre-request Scripts: var settings = { async: false, crossDomain: true, url: "https://myhost/mylib.js", …

That is not a valid Request object to pass to the pm.sendRequest function. The Request object is docmented here: http://www.postmanlabs.com/postman-collection/Request.html , and it has neither “async” nor “crossDomain” properties. In short, you can’t do synchronous calls this way.

Older version, maybe. Trust me, I wanted that to work in the worst way! For anyone else with this kind of need who stumbles across this thread, the way I ended up solving my particular use case was to break my request into two separate requests. In my case, the first request performs the API operat…
