How to create new test snippets

🌱 Just Getting Started

Is there a way to create your own test snippets, so that common tests for requests can be easily added to multiple?

Really nice feature it would be nice to have

This really should be a feature. This way testing is consistent and even more importantly the test names are consistent.

Hi @DLazaridis4HEM, @praveendvd, @archerZ

Just spotted this and found it a really interesting question… I had an idea for how this could be done…

So if you create a global variable and set the value to be your pm.test snippet like this;

You could then build a little function that grabs the global variables… which in turn appears to trigger the test runs and output the pass/fail results like so;

(I’m new to JS so there may be a better way to do this… but it seems to work).

you can do the second part even simpler like this;

Yes we could do the second one , but first one is just replacing the test name with the variable value , it’s not actually executing anything .:heavy_heart_exclamation::tada::tada:

But having test snippet or any custom snippet would be a really nice

:rofl: yes, now you’ve said it, I can see it! … oops
(Note to self, don’t try to write code when tired!)
