I want to parameterized my tests in Postman. This is the example body of POST request:
{
"entity_id": "{{entity_id}}",
"text": data.comment_name
}
entity_id
is global variable and it works correctly, but I want to set value of text
from JSON file.
data.comment_name
doesn't work it saved me exactly data.comment_name
as text variable. I want to include this JSON file with all variables in collection runner. How can I do that?
If your data file looks something like this JSON example:
[
{
"entity_id": 1,
"comment_name": "This is my comment_name"
}
]
To reference the values in the file, the POST body needs to look like this:
This is how your example would be but you don't need to add the " "
around the variable. This could cause issues if the value is a number and adding the quotes around the value in the request body, would make this a string and possibly lead to a bad request.
