Descriptive Title
How can I improve error message logging on existing integration tests?
Introduce The Question
As a backend developer, I would like to have better details when an integration test fails, especially when validating the response body. Currently, the error messages do not provide sufficient information to quickly identify what went wrong.
Possible Approaches:
- Generic Solution:
- Is there a way to use Postman Collections to support a “hook” that prints and/or compares expected vs. received data automatically?
- Custom Function:
- If a generic solution is not possible, I would like to implement a function that can be called by each test to print and compare the expected vs. actual body content.
- Log Console:
- While logging to the console is a simple approach, it can be tedious and time-consuming to apply it test by test. Is there a more efficient way to implement detailed logging across multiple tests?
Steps Taken:
I have explored several resources and documentation but haven’t found a clear solution. I’ve implemented basic logging for individual tests, but it becomes cumbersome with larger collections. I am looking for a more scalable method to improve error reporting.
