Hello,
I am using an API to add and delete movies from a list, I’m using postman collection variables to take the id of the new movie I added so that I can use it in some tests. Here is an example of what the list of movies looks like:
[
{
"actors": "Kevin Zegers, Rip Torn",
"category": "Popular",
"director": "Peter Hewitt",
"genres": "Action, Adventure, Family, Sci-Fi",
"id": 1457,
"imdb": "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0383060/",
"language": "English",
"minutes": 83,
"rating": 4,
"stock": 3,
"title": "Zoom",
"year": 2006
},
{
"actors": "Orlando Bloom, Tanya van Graan",
"category": "Regular",
"director": "Jérôme Salle",
"genres": "Crime, Drama, Thriller",
"id": 2516,
"imdb": "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2249221/",
"language": "English",
"minutes": 110,
"rating": 3,
"stock": 2,
"title": "Zulu",
"year": 2013
}
]
Using the last entry with an id of 2516 as an example, I want the test to either log that the movie exists in the list based on its id or if it doesn’t exist. So far I have tried this but it doesn’t quite work:
if(pm.response.text().includes(pm.collectionVariables.get(“idData”)) === true) {
console.log("Movie exists within the list");
}
else {
console.log("Movie no longer exists in the list")
}
I’m sure I’m doing something wrong or missing something. There’s probably a better way of doing it. I appreciate any help.
