pm.execution.setNextRequest is not a function CLI error

[descent-module-part1 (Emily Stanton)]

Last week, in the monitor console logs, I started seeing the warning “Using “postman.setNextRequest” is deprecated. Use “pm.execution.setNextRequest()” instead.”

When running the tests through the monitors there are no issues using pm.execution.setNextRequest however if you run it through the CLI you get a type-error.

I can’t find ANY documentation on pm.execution.setNextRequest() does anyone know anything about this?

Hey @descent-module-part1

Welcome to the Postman Community!

That function will be deprecated soon and it will be moving under the pm.* of APIs. You’re fine to use that in the current version of Postman.

This will be coming to the CLI very soon but for now, I would use postman.setNextRequest() in your Collections.

The pm.execution.setNextRequest() function works in the latest 1.9.0 version of the Postman CLI.
