Steps To Reproduce

I've restarted Postman and when I am going to collection run, doesn't matter if it's from web or app, the requests are blinking like in this video. If I run the collection, there is no error. Json is valid, no data corrupt. I've tried different browsers, different resolutions, to duplicate the collection.. nothing is working.

@CobracSerban We are looking into the problem. I noticed that you have closed the issue- is this not happening for you anymore?

Thanks

I've closed because I've installed version 11.34.3. So if I update to the latest version, there is a bug introduced by the latest changes and is happening what you see in the video.

I can't understand how an issue like this could arrive in production

You have another bug in Postman. If I run a collection but I am selecting just 10 requests from the collection, using an API I am creating something in my application where I obtain a guid as a response and I set it in collection variables to use in the next requests. This is working, variable is updated with the new value from response according to my code.

But if I trigger again the collection and I select all the request, the value is not updated in the collection variables, even the requests are executed on that guid received/created.

and also another question: why if my collection contain around 1000 requests, when I trigger the collection to run all the requests, just 450 are executed and then the runner is stopped? I don't have any error. I have to retrigger the collection again with the left requests, if I don't use CI/CD. This is very bad

Hi @CobracSerban

Regarding the "blinking requests" issue, we've identified the root cause and fixed it. We're testing it internally and expect to roll it out in a day. We'll update it here once it's available.

Regarding the other issues, please allow us some time to look into them and we'll get back to you. Thank you for bringing them to our notice.

Sure, you can hire me there as a QA, haha🤭. (Kidding)

It's a real issue this bug with blinking.

About other issue.. is there a limitation in Postman for executing the request? Or it's based on how big is the response? Because it's very bad to have a collection with 1000 requests but there are execute around 460 requests and then suddenly is stoping, and you need to retrigger the collection but you need to untick the execute requests.
Shouldn't happen this.. if Postman is used also for performance testing, you can't perform this testing if Postman is not executing all the requests.

hi @CobracSerban

Sharing an update from our end. The fix for the original issue in this thread is now rolled out in 11.35.2 version.

Regarding the other issues you have raised on:

  1. Discrepancy in collection run behavaior when you select some requests vs when all are selected: Could you provide some details. Maybe share a screen recording or sample collection so we can look into this.

  2. Collection run stopping at 450 requests/ 1000 requests: : I tried to reporduce the issue at my end- but I didnt face the same challenge while running a 1000 requests collection. Perhaps it is because of the nature of the collection or size of responses are big. A sample collection here will help us in reproducing the issue at our end. You can also share the logs with us.

You can feel free to drop the details either on this thread or over email to us ([email protected]) . Alternatively, if you want to get over a call to discuss these issues, here is a link to my calendly.

Thanks,
Malvika

Much easier de to have a catch up, because it's client application and I can't send videos just like that. Much easier to share the screen and see exactly these 2 issues. Yes, you are right, the response is big and I know this is the problem that not all the requests are executed, but there is no solution for this? I mean even if the response is big, Postman should handle this, if it's a tool for performance testing.

Agreed, faster over a call! I need to understand the issue better on why requests are not getting executed and if this issue started happening recently with you.

The expectation is for requests to be executed that is selected on runner unless you have manually stopped the run or an error happened that stops the run.

Let me know your email id, so we can co-ordinate a time or feel free to use this link to block some time.

Hello @malvika-chaudhary, I just observed that the meeting sent me in teams is in Zoom. The problem is that I don't have zoom on that laptop because is a laptop for work and I am not allowed to install something there.
