Not usable import of Postman Collections

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

If you import requests that start with a variable such as {{backendURL}}, which can have the following values, for example:

• localhost:9100/
• http://test.myDomain.org/
• https://nonlive.myDomain.org/
  the imported requests cannot be used. Or I could not find out how to perform the import ‘correctly’.

In my case, the variable {{backendURL}} itself consists of other variables, which may complicate the problem
(Example: {{backendURL}} = {{protocol}}{{stage}}{{domain}}{{port}}/)

You can turn this button on when importing

I saw that and tried it out. But it doesn’t work. (The imported requests dosn’t work.)

Thanks for your feedback, we have not reproduced this issue. Could you provide the version of Apidog you are using. And it would be helpful if you could provide your steps and screenshots.

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

even when removed “http://” (last screen) it dos not work.

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

Ah, Version - just udated

[zoeymadeline (Zoey)]

Importing the prefix URL of Mail carrier is a variable. When sending a request, the variable needs to be replaced with the actual value in order to run successfully
Perhaps you can store variables and their values in environment variables.

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

real examples:
1.
VehicleAPI_URL=https://vapi.{{namespace}}.{{cluster}}
namespace=va-static
cluster=my.secret.domain.earth
2.
VehicleAPI_URL=localhost:8700

http is the default if nothing is specified - as in the browser

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

The environment was included. Maybe I’m misunderstanding you. (4 x screen, 1 x environment, 1 x collection)

[zoeymadeline (Zoey)]

Thank you for your feedback. Is it convenient to provide the actual request at runtime?

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

The request should always be ‘assembled’ at execution time. So the variables/placeholders are replaced by those of the current environment, yes. Was that the question?

[zoeymadeline (Zoey)]

This may be the problem of your unsuccessful work. You need to check if the variable has been replaced with the correct value during the request. This is also the reason why I hope you can provide a screenshot of the actual request.

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

You don’t mean the 4th screenshot!?

[zoeymadeline (Zoey)]

VapiShaun

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

Ah, i understand. The content-type (json)was lost during ex-/import

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

during import!

[zoeymadeline (Zoey)]

Thank you for your feedback. Would it be convenient for you to provide me with your current file? Can you private message me?

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

I have already left an exemplary Postman collection here. Which file would you like exactly?

[zoeymadeline (Zoey)]

Thanks for the feedback. I need you to provide me with the real file you imported. I need to locate and check the missing content on your side.

[vapishaun_20044 (VapiShaun)]

That’s difficult because it’s ‘political’ in approach. I have to ask around a bit first.
