'INTERCEPTOR DISCONNECTED' occurs

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips
1

Hello all,

I’m trying to use ‘POSTMAN Native App’ and ‘Chrome’ using ‘Interceptor’ and ‘Interceptor Bridge’.

  • App Type = Native App
  • Postman Version 7.6.0
  • OS: Windows 10

I’ve installed Chrome ‘Interceptor’ adds on and ‘Interceptor Bridge’ and ‘Postman Native App’.

But when I go to ‘Postman Native App’ -> Capture requests and cookies -> Click ‘On’
it shows ‘INTERCEPTOR DISCONNECTED’ message.
It looks like POSTMAN can not connect to the INTERCEPTOR.

I’ve found this error below in “nativeServerLogs.txt” file under the ‘C:\Users<USER>\Downloads\InterceptorBridge_Windows_1.0.0\logs’ directory.

Can anyone please help me with this ?

Thanks in advance.

@bokim Try using the latest Postman App ( > v7.16.0). Check this for installation instructions. Let us know if you face any issues further.

We’d love to understand your use-cases around Interceptor. Would you be interested to get on a quick call? Please feel free to block a time slot as per your convenience using this link. Hoping you would come onboard.

I updated it to latest version v7.26.1 and installed the Interceptor Bridge also. Still getting the Interceptor is disconnected. In Chrome also added the extension Postman Interceptor extension. Still no use. In the Interceptor Bridge log the below error message is displayed.

Hello @bokim @sresuganthi,

Recently we have shipped out a fix. Could you please reset your Interceptor’s dependencies and try re-installing the Interceptor Bridge?

To reset the Interceptor’s dependencies (i.e the manifest file, Interceptor Bridge, and the registry key):

  • Open Postman
  • Navigate to View > Developer > Show DevTools (Current View)
  • Enter pm.interceptorInstaller.reset() to remove all present Interceptor dependencies.

If any dependencies cannot be removed due to permission issues, you’ll be prompted to delete them manually.

Apologies for the delayed response. Please confirm if this update helps.

I have tried all of it with 9.7 of postman and the interceptor on chrome just CANNOT connect.
