Hi, I have 285 requests in my Postman Collection, in some of them, I use ‘Inherit auth from parent’ type of Authorization. The tests are failed when the request contains ‘Inherit auth from parent’ type of Authorization and while running Collection Runner. The tests are passed when I run the reques…

Hi Alexandra, Thanks for flagging this. Can you share what auth method you’re using? Also, what version of the Postman app do you have installed?

Hi John-Paul, Yes, sure, I choose the particular environment before running the Collection. Take a look at this screenshot, please. I had a different result for requests which use the same auth method. And some requests use the variables, including token from a particular environment and a server r…

Hi Alexandra, Thank you for the screenshot. Status 400 generally implies a bad request, meaning there may be something wrong with the way the request is structured. Are these the requests getting the unauthorized message? Status 401 is generally used for “unauthorized”.
