I have very (very) limited experience with Postman, but in my new job, I find I need to run a simple collection with a couple of values. However, when I tried running a collection with a CSV file with the values it reported:
Error: runtime:extensions~request: request url is empty
Thinking I didn’t understand how running collections works, I followed the steps in the following doc:
The results, however, were the same, i.e. request url is empty.
What is missing from the documentation that stops this feature from working properly?
Are all the request tabs saved? Or do you still have unsaved changes in the requests?
If you have changed the requests to use say, {{url}} which is reading the value from a file, where previously it was hardcoded. If the request is unsaved, the collection runner wouldn’t pick up that new edited value.
I haven’t seen you’re app window so this is just a guess but that’s the likely cause as you mentioned using the runner.
You could also enable the Autosave feature in the settings to help mitigate this from happening.
Spot on, @danny-dainton. It was as simple as hitting save for the URL.
As they say, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing, but at least I’ve learnt something new today so hopefully, I’m not as “dangerous” as I was.
Thanks very much for the prompt help. Appreciate it.
