Update Yourself

While Testing APIs, sometimes we have a situation when we want to debug/know how my input payload goes to the server. I had a similar situation when I was testing a file uploading API using Postman cloud storage files, but on CircleCi it was returning an error with the message - file path not found. So I have to find what input payload it actually sends at that very moment. Here comes to save me - Postman Echo API. Postman Eco API is a public API endpoint with POST method. As its name states, it just returns the input payload you send in the response. So That you can validate, what file path or input value actually sent in the request from the postman. POST   https://postman-echo.com/post So, I found this cool feature really helpful. You don't need to go to other tool or application to debug and check the input payload. You can easily do it using Postman Echo. Hope it will also help you. Let me know your experience with it in comments,  once you use this.

Last year in Dec. Postman has announced Test Data file storage facility to make file uploading API testing much simpler and share those files among the team, so everyone can directly use them from the cloud storage of Postman without configuring Working directory and placing the files inside it. In case you want to know about the older way, I have already explain older way in last post  . For using Postman shared cloud storage for uploading files and sharing among the team, Please make sure you are using the latest version of Postman desktop application. Similarly, make sure you are using latest version of Postman CLI in-case you are testing file uploading APIs using Postman CLI collection run command. Let's understand now, how we can use this cool new feature of Postman Cloud File Storage, sharing among the team members and using it during the API testing. One can upload a file to Postman File storage Using Postman API request Body - form data To upload files to the Postman c...

From last couple of days,  I was doing R&D on how we can test file uploading API on CircleCi or Postman collection Run? Finally, I found a way to test the File uploading APIs using the Postman Desktop app  OR Postman CLI collection run. I have also tested this solution, even on CircleCi for running the automated testing postman APIs by Postman CLI collection run. Here is step by step process, how you can test the file uploading API on CircleCi or Postman collection Run? Local Desktop App settings: Open and go to Local Postman app settings -> General Set working directly location  ( default is postman installation directory but can also choose any other directory ) Place files (to use in file upload APIs during the collection run) in the working directory selected as in the above step and also in the root directory of your project. Now go to the API in which you need to upload a file, and select the file from the working directory selected in step 2. Save that ...
