Hi,

I’m rewriting my collection of tests using pm\*, but when will the support of the old solution stop?

I mean, these kind of tests: tests[“test”] = jsonData.id; will be unsupported at some point?

@tosh While we do intend to end support for the legacy test interface in the future, this will happen in a gradual and well-planned manner. Once the new `pm.*` interface has been made functionally complete as compared to its legacy counterpart, we’ll gradually make the messaging around the removal of legacy support more prevalent. For instance, the new `pm.*` interface does not have a `postman.setNextRequest` equivalent just yet (see [Improve postman.setNextRequest()](https://community.postman.com/t/improve-postman-setnextrequest/258/2))

One way to do this would be to start displaying warnings whenever the legacy interface is being used.
