Is it possible to ignore tests on a collection and use request tests?

[jon.robinson]

Example

I have some generic tests stored against a collection folder… but would it be possible to somehow ignore those tests for a specific request?

e.g. my generic tests contain:
pm.test("Response status is 200", function() { pm.response.to.have.status(200); if (responseCode.code !== 200) return;

But I want to add tests that will return other response codes.

Thanks

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

I have a test set in a collection to check whether the status of the response is one of a list: pm.test('Check status code', () => { pm.expect(pm.response.code).to.be.oneOf([200, 201, 202, 203, 204, 205, 206, 207, 208, 226]) }) In the Pre-request script of two of my requests, I have a line to skip the test that is set up for this collection (as I know the response of these two particular tests is going to be different but that’s ok for these as individual requests). pm.test.skip(‘Check st…

Awesome

Take a look through the examples and try some of the things out - If you get stuck or need some extra information, give me a shout.
