Hi guys,
I need to find a way to modify the FormData value before sending it to the request.
I have tried several ways, but most of them only works with JSON values.
Here are my attempts:
const dataObj = {
'form_id': 8,
'item_meta[59]': 'postmanemail@gmail.com',
'item_meta[66]': ['Subscribe to <span>Benchmark</span> Newsletter'],
};
const d = Object.keys(dataObj).map(key => {
return {
key,
value: dataObj[key],
disabled: false,
description: {content:"", type:"text/plain"}
}
})
First attempt: Trying to add body object to a variable before sending it:
pm.variables.set('formidableEmail', JSON.stringify({
mode: 'formdata',
formdata: d
}))
// Didn't work T.T
Second attempt: Modifying the body
pm.request.body.mode = 'formdata'
pm.request.body.formdata = dataObj
// Didn't work either T.T
Most promising attempt: sending the request from the pre-request script
:
pm.sendRequest({
url: `url_of_the_service`,
method: 'POST',
header: {
'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data',
},
body: {
mode: 'formdata',
formdata: d
}
}, function (err, response) {
if (err) throw new Error(err)
console.log(response)
})
That last attempt has been the most promising one for me, but it has some problems:
- How to avoid sending the main request? Because itβs sending two requests: one for the main request and a second one for the pre-request script.
- How can I pass the result so I can test it on the βTestsβ tab?
- How can I read the response for future debugging?
If there is another approach I could take, I will be more than happy to test it.
Kind regards,
Luis.
