Test of single json response value for both true and false are passing

Hello. The typical ‘happy path’ response from my API has this structure:

{
    "features": [
        {
            "reportId": "RPT088308"
        }
    ],
    "success": true,
    "error": null
}

When i test the value of “success” within a single response, tests of ‘true’ and ‘false’ both pass. I would expect one to pass and one to fail. In the test suite below, all three tests pass

pm.test("Content-Type header is application/json", () => {
  pm.expect(pm.response.headers.get('Content-Type')).to.eql('application/json; charset=utf-8');
});

const jsonData = pm.response.json();
pm.test("json 'success' to be false"), () =>  {
    pm.expect(jsonData.success).to.eql(false);
}
pm.test("json 'success' to be true"), () =>  {
    pm.expect(jsonData.success).to.eql(true);
}

Am in misunderstanding what i think i’m testing? what could be amiss here?

You have a bracket in the wrong place, basically closing the test at the name. Therefore the function is not evaluated.

pm.test("json 'success' to be false", () =>  {
    pm.expect(jsonData.success).to.eql(false);
})
pm.test("json 'success' to be true", () =>  {
    pm.expect(jsonData.success).to.eql(true);
})

UGH! you are exactly correct.

Thank you for catching that. I am glad for the additional, maybe not as tired, set of eyes.
