POSTMAN | GET Variable for if - statement

Question

i want to do a if statement in Postman. I have the Environmet Variable: server_state1 & server_state2 These Variables both gets numbers from 0-3. Now i want to write a Pre-request-Script in an PUT Statement. The IF Statement sounds like

var server_state1 = postman.GetEnvironmentVariable("state_server1");
var server_state2 = postman.GetEnvironmentVariable("state_server2");

if (server_state1 === 0 && server_state2 === 0){
   postman.SetEnvironmentVariable("server_state12", "Everything is fine");
}

But this does not work.

What do you mean, when you say it doesn't work? Is the environment variable not being set? — Lars Kristensen, Mar 20 '17 at 09:26

THE ANSWER IS:

var server_state1 = postman.GetEnvironmentVariable("state_server1");
var server_state2 = postman.GetEnvironmentVariable("state_server2");

if (server_state1 === "0" && server_state2 === "0"){
postman.SetEnvironmentVariable("server_state12", "Everything is fine");
}

The functions you are looking for are defined in lowerCamelCase.

Try to use:

postman.getEnvironmentVariable("state_server1")
postman.setEnvironmentVariable("server_state12", "Everything is fine");

Instead of:

postman.GetEnvironmentVariable("state_server1");
postman.SetEnvironmentVariable("server_state12", "Everything is fine");

Double check your environment variable names. Is "server_state12" correct? – Sergej Lopatkin Mar 20 '17 at 10:21
