In many other softwares pre-request script usually can stop continuing main oper… ation. Such as in git pre-commit script we can stop commit operation if we want, what is expected. But in postman pre-request script we can not stop request which is illogical. So postman pre-request script does not use its potential. I have found several years old fallback by throwing error but it is not good solution because in collection runner there are many red lines.
I have data file with e.g. 30 iterations but I do now want to run each iteration for each request. Some request are simple so I can not write 30 alternatives of variable value. SO I would like to add conditions in some requests... e.g. pseudo code...
`if (pm.info.iteration > 10)
pm.request.stop() // or pm.request.skip()`
Is it hard to add this feature? Is it planned samewhen?
…pm.execution.skipRequest() . This function when used in Pre-request scripts will not execute the request…
