Unable to execute data driven tests

#1

Hi
I have created a data-driven test case pulling data from a .csv file, every time it executes I get the below error with status 0, however, if I execute the same test manually it processes successfully. Am I missing something?

POST http://{{url}}/quote

Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND {{url}}

Hey @linda_zondi

Are you able to provide some more details about the issue, please?

Is this using the Desktop App or Postman on the Web? It looks like you’re using a variable with the request - Is these coming from an environment file?

Can you provide any screenshots of the problem to help us to see what you’re currently seeing?

Hi @dannydainton

I am still new to postman and API testing so my lingo still needs some polishing.
Yes I have an environment variable called “url” and another one called “contractRef”
I need to call 2 endpoints “quote” to create a contract reference and “accept” to accept policy.
1st I execute the “quote” endpoint which generates a “Contract Reference” I store that in a variable called “contractRef”
2nd I execute “accept” endpoint, “contractRef” is passed as a path variable to the URL please see attached.

The process works fine when I execute the endpoints manually however, the moment I use .csv/.txt file and automate via collection runner, the 2nd endpoint fails and throws “socket hang up” error.

Thank you

The main url doesn’t look complete as the path variable is missing.

Have you tried moving that {{contractRef}} directly into the URL to replace the /: / part and saving the changes?

#6

@dannydainton I have changed the variable and called it {{CR}} on the URL, its pulling data from .csv please see attached console log info, the {{CR}} variable is passed correctly however I keep getting “Socket” error.

Contextually, I don’t know anything about that request and I can’t see what’s in front of you so anything I say will be guess work. :grin:

How long does the request take to return, when you run it individually? There could be a timeout issue happening.
