Since the latest update the “Preview” of an HTML result can only be navigated, but is no longer rendered as a web page.
Is there a way to get back the rendered view?
Hey @robert.lill
Welcome to the Postman Community!
Could you also provide some visual examples of what you’re seeing and where the problem is please?
Are you saying that HTML is not rendered in the preview tab?
What was it previously displaying for that response?
Facing same isssue. Now not able to see the errors generating by php server in html format.
Hey Folks,
Apologies for the late responses, I’ve been away for a few days.
I will forward this feedback onto the relevant teams - I will update the thread once I know more information.
Hey Folks,
A fix for the issue has been added to version 11.30.0 - Could you try this on the latest version please.
If you’re still facing issues, could you share an example of the response, please?
Indeed Postman doesn’t render the HTML anymore.
The reason is probably because the response-header Content-Type=aplication/xml.
I’ll try to write a visualization script now…
Is this the latest version that you’re using @robert.lill?
If you can provide an example that we can use to reproduce your issue, we will be able to take a look to see what’s happening.
There have been a couple of screenshots in the thread but the raw output is much better
Just tried with latest version 11.31.1 and the problem is still there.
Hey @yarekf1
Were you able to select and change the response language, using the drop-down, and then select preview?
Does that help at all?
Yes, the Preview works now when in the drop-down I change to e.g. HTML.
Is there a possibility to make a default selection of the response language? After each request sent I need to switch again to HTML (by default JSON is selected) which is cumbersome. Previously, I didn’t have to do that.
Hey @yarekf1 could you share an example of the response body you’re receiving and the content-type header in the response?
Hey @docking-module-admin a good example would be when working on a PHP project and using a dump function (The VarDumper Component (Symfony Docs) for example). The server has a 500 response, and the response is still application/json.
Previously I could simply click preview and it would parse the HTML, but now I have to click:
- JSON Dropdown
- Select HTML
- Preview
Hi… Postman’s preview tab is also not working for me.
The preview used to parse the response in a very convenient way so that I could copy and paste the url of the response. Although I can still get to the url of the response in my case (with a couple extra clicks), I cannot copy it, which is necessary to use the results to test. When I attempt to copy the text, it treats my mouse up of the selection process as a click (it seems) and before I get a chance to Ctrl+C to copy, the tab jumps to “undefined” somewhere down the tree:
@payload-cosmologist6 thanks for clarification that is helpful for us so we can try to see how we can better support this workflow.
@pburton-atg could you share the response body you received or something similar to it? Also the version of Postman you’re using would be helpful.
