In a 30 minute session with postman, I have to kill and restart it typically 5 - 10 times. NOTE: we only use postman to call rest endpoints. Nothing more. We use the free version, due to high cost of to get team sharing.
There are so many bugs. Is this normal?
Examples are
dissapearing reqests in a collection. Restarting magically brings them back.
calls hanging indefinitely, despite setting call timeout, and no “cancel request” button means you have to restart postman.
Parts of UI randomly go missing. restarting fixes it.
other random effects.
disappearing collections. restart brings them back
failing to startup, or starting up with missing or broken UI ellements.
None of these appear to be reproducible, they just happen randomly.
Have you reached out to our support team on [email protected] about any of these issues you’re facing?
By grabbing your logs and sending them to the team to investigate, they might be able to troubleshoot and see what’s happening for you in your instance.
As you mentioned, these are not reproducible so it could be something specific to your machine/environment.
The Web platform is available for you to use https://go.postman.co if the current Desktop is preventing you from sending those requests.
I’m experiencing a similar issue working on my local with gRPC, so I can’t try with the web version.
Every ~5 requests it starts returning errors like the server wasn’t turned on. Of course I’m checking the server finished booting and processing requests. Sometimes I need to invoke calls multiple times to make it work again, sometimes it doesn’t work either and I need to completely close and reopen Postman. The impact on DX is critical…
