Siphiwo To fork or import an environment in Postman, follow these steps: *To fork an environment:* 1. Go to the **Environments** tab. 2. Click the **Fork** button next to the environment you want to fork. 3. Enter a name for the forked environment and select a workspace to save it to. 4. Click **Fork Environment**. The forked environment will be a copy of the original environment. You can then edit the forked environment as needed. *To import an environment:* 1. Go to the **Environments** tab. 2. Click the **Import** button. 3. Select the environment file you want to import. 4. Click **Import Environment**. The imported environment will be added to your Postman workspaces. *To use a forked or imported environment in a collection:* 1. Open the collection you want to use the environment in. 2. Click the **Environment** tab. 3. Select the environment you want to use. 4. Click **Update Environment**. The collection will now use the selected environment. Here is an example of how to fork an environment in Postman: ``` 1. Go to the **Environments** tab. 2. Click the **Fork** button next to the **My Environment** environment. 3. Enter a name for the forked environment, such as **My Environment Forked**. 4. Select a workspace to save the forked environment to. 5. Click **Fork Environment**. ``` Once the forked environment has been created, you can edit it as needed. Here is an example of how to import an environment in Postman: ``` 1.

No worries, I found Thycotic will work as my secret server host. However, executing tests on an Enterprise level causes a need to keep passwords secure. Today maintaining secure passwords is an afterthought. I am reviewing which secret server apps work best across multiple automation tools when executing the CICD with Jenkins and single tools like Selenium, Postman, etc.

Krzysztof In Postman, you can use pre-request scripts to execute JavaScript before a request runs. By including code in the Pre-request Script tab for a request, collection, or folder, you can carry out pre-processing tasks such as setting variable values, parameters, headers, and body data To create a pre-request script, follow these steps: 1. Open the Postman app and select the collection or request to which you want to add the script. 2. Click the Code tab and then select the Pre-request Script tab. 3. In the editor, paste the JavaScript code for your pre-request script. You can also add pre-request scripts to entire collections or folders within collections. In both cases, your pre-request script will run before every request in the collection or direct child request in the folder. This allows you to define commonly used pre-processing steps that you need to execute for multiple requests Feel free to explore more about pre-request scripting in Postman, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any further questions
I have a question I have a requirement where I should capture a field from the response and print it in console So am able to achieve that but When am trying to iterate it using csv file Am not able to print the response value got from all the iteration at one shot. Like a,b,c,d.. How to achieve that? Please help
Hi Prince Here are the steps on how to capture a field from the response and print it in console using Postman and a CSV file: 1. Create a new Postman collection. 2. Import the CSV file into the collection. 3. Create a request for each row in the CSV file. 4. In the request, add a variable for the `id` field in the CSV file. 5. In the request, add a script that will capture the value of the `name` field from the response and print it to the console. 6. Run the collection. The script that you can use to capture the value of the `name` field from the response and print it to the console is as follows: ``` var id = pm.variables.get('id'); var response = pm.response.json(); var name = response['name']; console.log(name); ``` This script will first get the value of the `id` variable from Postman. Then, it will get the value of the `name` field from the response. Finally, it will print the value of the `name` field to the console. If you want to print the response value got from all the iteration at one shot, you can use a loop to iterate through the rows in the CSV file and call the script for each row. The following code shows an example of how to do this: ``` for (var i = 0; i < pm.iterationData.length; i++) { var id = pm.iterationData[i]['id']; var response = pm.response.json(); var name = response['name']; console.log(name); } ``` This code will iterate through the rows in the CSV file and call the script for each row. The script will then capture the value of the `name` field from the response and print it to the console. I hope this helps
@@RaghavPal Hi Raghav, I think I have miss communicated my requirement Please find the step by step requirement below 1. I have a collection with 2 Apis which has authentication and post request api 2. Authentication api is taken care of using Env variable (token barrier) 3. For Post Api request body am reading the required field values from csv data file 4. Am giving the number for iteration in the iteration value filed in tool 5. Am getting the response for every iteration with my expected data bht from the whole response body am looking for to print one value on to console for that I have written a script to fetch the value from the response. 6. It’s working fine and am getting the value printed on console for every iteration Like Api call Response Value(a) Api call Response Value(b) Api call Response Value(c) . . Now i was trying to print Response Values from above calls in a row at one shot into console like (Values:- A,b,c..) and also can we export the same output values to output csv file (A,b,c…)?
Here are the steps on how to print the response values from the Postman API test in a row at one shot into the console and export the same output values to an output CSV file: 1. In your Postman collection, add a new request called `Print Response Values`. This request will be used to print the response values from the other requests in the collection. 2. In the `Script` tab of the `Print Response Values` request, add the following code: ``` const response = pm.response; const responseBody = response.json(); const responseValue = responseBody.someValue; console.log(responseValue); ``` This code will get the response value from the response body and print it to the console. 3. In the `Iterations` field of the `Print Response Values` request, set the value to the number of iterations that you want to run. 4. Run the collection. The `Print Response Values` request will be run for each iteration, and the response value will be printed to the console. 5. To export the response values to an output CSV file, add a new request called `Export Response Values`. This request will be used to export the response values to a CSV file. 6. In the `Script` tab of the `Export Response Values` request, add the following code: ``` const response = pm.response; const responseBody = response.json(); const responseValues = Object.keys(responseBody); const csvData = responseValues.join(','); pm.writeFile('output.csv', csvData); ``` This code will get the response values from the response body, join them together with commas, and write them to a CSV file called `output.csv`. 7. Run the collection. The `Export Response Values` request will be run once, and the response values will be exported to the CSV file. Here are some additional things to keep in mind: * The `Print Response Values` request can be used to print any value from the response body. You can change the code in the `Script` tab to print any value that you want. * The `Export Response Values` request can be used to export any data from the response body to a CSV file. You can change the code in the `Script` tab to export any data that you want. * You can also use the `Run In Parallel` option in Postman to run multiple requests at the same time. This can be useful if you want to print the response values from multiple requests at once. I hope this helps
Hii sir, Im coming here for the first time to learn postmanAPI. but im just a little bit confused When you changed the password and sent it on env REG it clearly passed but why did when you changed your email and then pressed send get an error? and what that means for the Error message?
Ryan The error message you are getting is: ``` Error: 400 Bad Request Content-Type: application/json { "message": "The email address you provided is already in use.", "errors": [ { "resource": "users", "field": "email", "code": "email_already_in_use" } ] } ``` This error means that the email address you provided is already in use by another user. You will need to provide a different email address in order to register. The reason why the password change request was successful but the email change request failed is because the password change request does not check if the email address is already in use. The email change request, on the other hand, does check if the email address is already in use. I hope this helps
Why you changed the environment to REG and changed the current value of email it showed an error whereas when we changed the password value to sword it worked why the error when email was changed?
okay i just did to show a demo how values will change with env.. in case its not working exactly for you.. do not worry.. these are dummy demo apis and may behave differently.. its fine as long as you got the concept

Under REG env, when the value for password was changed to sword, it worked. However, when the value of email was changed, it shows as error. Why so?

```
var id = pm.variables.get('id');
var response = pm.response.json();
var name = response['name'];
console.log(name);
```
This script will first get the value of the `id` variable from Postman. Then, it will get the value of the `name` field from the response. Finally, it will print the value of the `name` field to the console.
If you want to print the response value got from all the iteration at one shot, you can use a loop to iterate through the rows in the CSV file and call the script for each row. The following code shows an example of how to do this:
```
for (var i = 0; i < pm.iterationData.length; i++) {

var response = pm.response.json();
var name = response['name'];
console.log(name);

Hii sir, Im coming here for the first time to learn postmanAPI.
but im just a little bit confused When you changed the password and sent it on env REG it clearly passed but why did when you changed your email and then pressed send get an error?
and what that means for the Error message?
Ryan
The error message you are getting is:
```
Error: 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: application/json
{
"message": "The email address you provided is already in use.",
"errors": [
{
"resource": "users",
"field": "email",
"code": "email_already_in_use"
}
]
}
```
This error means that the email address you provided is already in use by another user. You will need to provide a different email address in order to register.
The reason why the password change request was successful but the email change request failed is because the password change request does not check if the email address is already in use. The email change request, on the other hand, does check if the email address is already in use.
I hope this helps
i am not able to understand why the password change was successful and not the email change
