Hi, I am writing a test script where I am using an environment variable, setting it to a constant value in pre-request script and finally, assigning it to my request body parameter. Pre-request Script - `var code = "b0d159"; pm.environment.set("offeringCode", code)` Request Body - `{ "Service": "OfferingService", "Action": "createOffering", "Params": { "OfferingCode": "{{offeringCode}}", "Name": "{{offeringName}}", "Description" : null, "OrganizationID" : null} ` Test Script (test that is failing) - `pm.test('response code is 200', function () { pm.response.to.be.ok; });` I am setting an already existing value (exists in db) to the variable, thus the request should return “Overlapping offering code” in response body. While running the request/ collection from postman expected response comes with a 200 Ok status, however, Newman returns “Missing Parameter” with a 404 Not Found status. In Newman, the “detail” column for assertion error says - " response code is 200 expected response to have status reason ‘OK’ but got ‘NOT FOUND’ at assertion:0 in test-script inside “Overlapping Offering Code” What could be the reason behind this? ---

Hey @fairouz05 Welcome to the community! 👋 What is the command that you’re using to run the Collection in Newman? Are you specifying an environment file in the run? ---

Yes, here is the command (after I give path to the folder where I have saved the collection.json and environment.json file ) newman run “Create Offering.postman\_collection.json” -e “API Demo Env Copy.postman\_environment.json” --reporters cli,html --insecure ---

That’s seems odd, are you saving the request your editing before exporting the file to use with Newman? I’ve got to say it breaks my little heart that you’re not using `htmlextra` but not everyone has discovered it yet 😁 ---

Hey there, I found what went wrong using htmlextra! One of the environment variables was in wrong format which was causing the “Missing Parameter” response, I included the right code in pre-request script and now it works! Thank you 🙂 ---
