How can I skip test at collection level for a specific request?

[nifepo]

I have this simple test at collection level

tests["Status code is 200"] = responseCode.code === 200;

It will work perfectly for every request on the collection except for negative tests (400/403/404 http code response).

So ideally, at request Get Acommodation Type - 403 level I would like to write following test:

pm.SkipCollectionTest
tests["Status code is 200"] = responseCode.code === 403;

Is this somehow possible? Thank you

Hey @nifepo

Welcome to the Postman community!

This kinda sounds like a question that’s been asked before - Would this solution help you to get closer to what you need:

Skipping collection test but in the results it shows as skipped and failed

No worries. Always happy to help. Another, simpler way (credit to @singhsivcan for this ) of looking for the status code and skipping the tests would be this: let skipTest = pm.response.code === 429; // Add this to the beginning of all the tests that need to be skipped when the status code is 429 // -> (skipTest ? pm.test.skip : pm.test) // // For eg: (skipTest ? pm.test.skip : pm.test)("Check status code", () => { pm.response.to.be.su…

Hello, it helped but didn’t solve it. I couldn’t find a direct way of skilling a collection level test.

However, it made me think that I can do an if statement to expect 200 to every request that:

• Has Prefer header with code=400

Can you help me to write this test?

pm.test(“Prefer header is present”, function () {

pm.request.to.have.header("Prefer")

});

pm.request.to.have.header(“Prefer”) -------------> It correctly validate the header exists, but I also need to validate the REQUEST header VALUE.

Any idea how to write it correctly?
Thanks

Solved.

I will add below code as an IF statement at collection level.

pm.test(“Prefer header is present”, function () {

pm.request.to.have.header("Prefer", "code=400")

});
