Skip DELETE operation in all the controllers

[PraveenSuryaNarayanaMoorthy]

Hi All ,

I have the below operations by default when I'm running portman it run for all the controllers in the the list, how I can skip the DELETE operartion for all the controllers and execute DELETE once other operations in all the controllers are over.

orderOfOperations:
- 'POST::/v1*'
- 'GET::/v1*'
- 'PUT::/v1*'
- 'PATCH::/v1*'
- 'DELETE::/v1*'

hi @PraveenSuryaNarayanaMoorthy

That is not straight forward.The easiest way would be to generate 2 postman, using the filtering option.

Hi @thim81 , using tags we can filters the controllers/entities but how can we filter the HTTP methods??

tmpCollection.json

below is my oas-format-filter file

methods: []
tags: []
operationIds: []

operations:
 - *::/v2/regulations*
 - *::/v1/vehicle-types*
 - *::/v2/systems*
 - *::/v2/ecus*

@PraveenSuryaNarayanaMoorthy

That is simple:

methods: 
 - delete
tags: []
operationIds: []

operations:
 - *::/v2/regulations*
 - *::/v1/vehicle-types*
 - *::/v2/systems*
 - *::/v2/ecus*

The whole list of supported options can be found here

This will filter out the OpenAPI operations with the delete methods

@thim81 , thanks it works.

Also, is there any way to execute a certain methods twice in a controller execution?

[thim81]

You can use Newman iterations, which will run the sequence of all Postman requests.

I assume you want to execute a certain request multiple times, first a POST > GET > PUT > GET

Or another way is to use https://learning.postman.com/docs/collections/running-collections/building-workflows/
