Postman to Bruno import, what commands do you use ?

[bpoulaindev]

Currently working on improving the import collection experience, especially from Postman.
We are adding automatic imports for scripts and tests sections, instead of incorporating everything inside comments.
Currently we can translate set and get for pm.variable and pm.environment
What other commands do you extensively use ?
Thanks for your answers.

Hi There) i suppose the most used are
var
eval()
pm.response.json()
tests["Status code is 200"] = responseCode.code === 200
let
for
if
some fields of json data
jsonData...length
and may be something like that)
pm.test("some test name", () => {\r",
" pm.expect(\r",
" jsonData.array[i].array2[0].startDate\r",
" ).to.have.property('year', somevariable.CRYear);\r",
" })

@Venya331 Thanks for your answer, i had in mind commands starting with "pm.", because we can already use pretty much everything from basic javascript commands, the test command and the res object.

oooh) ok got you)
then these ones)
pm.test()
pm.expect()
pm.response.json()
pm.environment.set()
pm.collectionVariables.set()
pm.collectionVariables.has()
pm.collectionVariables.get()
pm.environment.get()
pm.sendRequest()
pm.globals.get()

we also use a lot the iteration so :
pm.iterationData.get

and this specific fundtion :
postman.setNextRequest (very important to us to adapt the test case to the iteration data content)

the other function have already been discussed
pm.collectionVariables.clear
pm.test
pm.collectionVariables.set
pm.response.to.have.jsonSchema

Thanks for your reply !

Well bru.setNextRequest() has already been implemented, and I'm working on collection variables it might help a lot of users

[amaillet2024]

what a fast answer ! thanks. We are in reflection for migration from postman, We will probably wait a litte to migrate the script with iteration data.

We use these as well, in addition to the already listed ones.

• pm.variables.replaceIn()
• {{$guid}} etc. from the https://learning.postman.com/docs/writing-scripts/script-references/variables-list. These are also used in the request body.
• pm.environment.has()

Hi. I tried to import one of our sets of Postman tests and these are the commands it's been unable to handle, including their occurrence count. It would be great if these could be addressed or advice given on how we could replace these manually to work with Bruno.

      8 pm.environment.unset
    139 pm.expect
    559 pm.globals.get
    390 pm.globals.set
     91 pm.globals.unset
     44 pm.info.requestName
      6 pm.request.headers.add
     11 pm.request.headers.remove
    103 pm.request.headers.upsert
      1 pm.response.headers.get
      3 pm.response.to.have.header
    124 pm.sendRequest
      9 pm.test
      2 pm.variables.get
      2 pm.variables.replaceIn

Anyone here succeeded?

Would be great to have a Postman compatibility layer OR maybe some automatic migration or at least a mapping table on how to fix them. We have a lot of test scripts that use those postman commands / variables.
