Runner custom request order

Yep, I’ve been there :slight_smile:

I may be biased here, but checkout my posts on using “beforeEachHooks” in Postman:

So if you have a User API and you want to create a new user per test scenario so you have no persisting data from other tests.

You’d want a “create user” request to run first, then run request 2. Then go back and create a new user and run request 3. etc.

I’ve used this method at my current place of work and it has dramatically cut down maintenance. There is a little bit of a learning curve whenever new testers start using my API tests but it’s SO much better than duplicating and maintaining the same request.

My post on the below thread has example collections etc.
