Getting the below error while working on the DAY 08 challenge. Please let me where I am going wrong.

Were any tests added to the individual requests you have in the Collection?
What does the response body of that request look like?
Can you check that you are pointing to the correct Collection in the submit request.
Hi Danny,
There was no mention of adding any tests to the requests that I had added in the Run a collection folder. The collection ID that I am using is correct.
I don’t know exactly what’s going wrong in my requests even after I followed the instructions as it is.
What’s the response body for that request?
It’s trying to read something from it which isn’t actually there. As it’s coming from the tests section, I’m wondering if it is the correct Collection that’s being returned.
How have you comfirmed that it is the correct Id?
I can’t see your screen so I’m just trying to guess what could be happening but it might be something else, without seeing everything it’s tricky.

"description": "It's time to work on your next challenge.\n\nLet's use the [Random User API](https://randomuser.me/) to learn how to run a collection in Postman.\n\n1. **Add a request**: Add a request called `get random user` to the folder `Run a collection` with the following details:\n - `GET` method\n - `https://randomuser.me/api` request URL\n - At least one test to determine a successful response from this API\n\n Send the request to make sure your tests pass.\n1. **Add another request**: Duplicate the request to create a second request called `get female user`. Update the request [to retrieve a single female user](https://randomuser.me/documentation#gender). You may need to update your tests to ensure a successful response. Send the request to make sure your tests pass.\n1. **Add a third request**: Duplicate the request to create a third request called `get french user`. Update the request to retrieve a single user [that is both female, French](https://randomuser.me/documentation#nationalities). Once again, you may need to update your tests to ensure a successful response. Send the request to make sure your tests pass.\n1. **Run the folder**: Now that you have three requests with tests, you can step through and run the folder by tabbing through each of the requests and hitting **Send**. An easier way to run the requests is to use the [collection runner](https://learning.postman.com/docs/running-collections/intro-to-collection-runs/). Run only the folder `Run a collection` to make sure your tests pass. Take a minute to review the configuration options, the results, and run summary.\n\nIn this challenge, we used the collection runner to run a collection from the Postman app. In future challenges, we'll work with other ways to run collections.\n\nOnce you complete these steps, make sure to save any changes, and then move on to the next folder in this collection to submit your solution.

This is the response that I received from the Submit request. I guess the Collection ID which I am using is correct.
You may need return to the first request then include this scrip on test tab:
pm.test(“Status code is 200”, function () {
pm.response.to.have.status(200);
});
