[FEATURE REQUEST] Edit requests programmatically in Unit Tests (e.g. query variables, request body, headers, ...) #4482

I am testing my login endpoint in Insomnia Designer with the integrated test tool.

A successful login test looks like this with the selected login request:

const response = await insomnia.send();
const body = JSON.parse(response.data);

expect(response.status).to.equal(200);
expect(body).to.have.property("token");

Now I want to change the test with invalid credentials in order to check for a response.status 401.

How can I change the payload I send in a test programmatically so that I can send invalid credentials?

Hi @sebastianbuechler, we are cataloguing this feedback to try and come up with a feasible plan to improve the test feature completely.

@MrStanDu33 regarding the stalled PR #2994, we will probably not look at it anytime soon, but we’ll update you and the other folks if we do end up kicking off the improving test feature work after we finish other big chunks of work we have in progress (WebSockets support, better login, …). Sorry for the stall, the team is aware the Test feature hasn’t really been a priority in a while, so it’s a bit of a such is life situation right now 😅 🤷

Feel free to report any issues or ideas for improvements you come across in the meantime! Also I’d encourage any of you to drop by and join us on our weekly Insomnia Stream (see details on #stream channel over at https://chat.insomnia.rest/, happens every Tuesday at 14:30 UTC), and share more ideas you’d like to see in Insomnia

re: timelines just want to say I appreciate the feedback and we’re doing the best we possibly can at the moment especially with so many releases recently. I, along with others from the core team, have been trying quite hard recently to get caught up with many of the issues/PRs that are open right now - but it’s a long process.

Thanks again
