_My question_:  
I am trying to make a test and check that the body does not have a text, but I can only find the code that does:  
pm.expect(pm.response.text()).to.include(“string to search for”);.  
Do you know which one I could use, I need that in the response it does not contain the “uid”.

Hi @andresdurangof, Welcome to the community

you may use the below snippet to test for a response that doesn’t contain a specific test.

`pm.expect(pm.response.text()).not.to.include("Your text");`

You may get more info on writing tests on the [official documentation](https://learning.postman.com/docs/writing-scripts/test-scripts/) page.
